net_protocol_release(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers net_protocol_release(9F)NAME
net_protocol_release - indicate that a reference to a network protocol is no longer required
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/neti.h>
int net_protocol_release(net_data_t *net);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
net value returned from a successful call to net_protocol_lookup(9F).
DESCRIPTION
The net_protocol_release() function indicates to the network information framework that the caller is no longer interested in any knowledge
about the network protocol to which the parameter being passed through applies.
RETURN VALUES
The net_protocol_release() function returns:
-1 The value passed in is unknown to this framework.
0 Successful completion.
1 Unsuccessful because this function has been called too many times.
CONTEXT
The net_protocol_release() function may be called from user, kernel, or interrupt context.

net_phylookup(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers net_phylookup(9F)NAME
net_phylookup - determine if a network interface name exists for a network protocol
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/neti.h>
phy_if_t net_phylookup(const net_data_t net, const char *name);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
net value returned from a successful call to net_protocol_lookup(9F).
name name of the network interface to find.
DESCRIPTION
The net_phylookup() function attempts to resolve the interface name passed in with the network protocol.
When called successfully, the value returned represents a network interface that exists, at the time of the call, within the scope of the
network interface. This value is only guaranteed to be unique for a name within the scope of the network protocol.
RETURN VALUES
The net_phylookup() function returns -1 if it is not supported by the network protocol, and 0 if the named network interface does not
exist (or is otherwise unknown). Otherwise, it returns a value greater than 0 representing a network interface that currently exists
within the scope of this network protocol.
CONTEXT
The net_phylookup() function may be called from user, kernel, or interrupt context.
