strqget(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers strqget(9F)
NAME
strqget - get information about a queue or band of the queue
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stream.h>
int strqget(queue_t *q, qfields_t what, unsigned char pri, void *valp);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
q Pointer to the queue.
what Field of the queue structure for (or the specified priority band) to return information about. Valid values are one of:
QHIWAT High water mark.
QLOWAT Low water mark.
QMAXPSZ Largest packet accepted.
QMINPSZ Smallest packet accepted.
QCOUNT Approximate size (in bytes) of data.
QFIRST First message.
QLAST Last message.
QFLAG Status.
pri Priority band of interest.
valp The address of where to store the value of the requested field.
DESCRIPTION
The strqget() function gives drivers and modules a way to get information about a queue or a particular band of a queue without directly
accessing STREAMS data structures, thus insulating them from changes in the implementation of these data structures from release to
release.
RETURN VALUES
On success, 0 is returned and the value of the requested field is stored in the location pointed to by valp. An error number is returned on
failure.
CONTEXT
The strqget() function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
