Hi,
I am getting data into a Named pipe. Does Named pipe have any size restriction; I know it does not have any storage and it just passes on the data to the next process.

usb_pipe_set_private
usb_pipe_set_private(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers usb_pipe_set_private(9F)
NAME
usb_pipe_set_private, usb_pipe_get_private - USB user-defined pipe data-field facility
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/usb/usba.h>
int usb_pipe_set_private(usb_pipe_handle_t pipe_handle, usb_opaque_t data);
usb_opaque_t usb_pipe_get_private (usb_pipe_handle_t pipe_handle);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)
PARAMETERS
For usb_pipe_set_private():
pipe_handle
Pipe handle into which user-defined data is placed.
data
Data to store in the pipe handle.
For usb_pipe_get_private():
pipe_handle
Pipe handle from which user-defined data is retrieved.
DESCRIPTION
The usb_set_driver_private() function initializes the user-private data field of the pipe referred to by pipe_handle, using data. The
user-private data field is used to store any data the client desires and is not used in any way by the USBA or OS framework. Client driv-
ers often store their soft-state here for convenient retrieval by their callback handlers.
The usb_get_driver_private() function retrieves the user-private data stored via usb_set_driver_private(), from the pipe referred to by
pipe_handle.
RETURN VALUES
For usb_pipe_set_private():
USB_SUCCESS
Private data has been successfully stored in pipe handle.
USB_INVALID_PIPE
pipe_handle argument is NULL or invalid.
Pipe is closing or closed.
USB_INVALID_PERM
The pipe_handle argument refers to the default control pipe.
For usb_pipe_get_private():
On success: usb_opaque_t pointer to data being retrieved.
On failure: NULL. Fails if pipe handle is NULL or invalid. Fails if pipe handle is to a pipe which is closing or closed.
CONTEXT
May be called from user, kernel or interrupt context.
EXAMPLES
usb_pipe_handle_t pipe;
/* Some driver defined datatype. */
xxx_data_t *data = kmem_zalloc(...);
usb_pipe_set_private(pipe, data);
----
xxx_data_t *xxx_data_ptr = (xxx_data_t *)usb_pipe_get_private(pipe);
