NAME
       modldrv - linkage structure for loadable drivers

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/modctl.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

DESCRIPTION
       The modldrv structure is used by device drivers to export driver specific information to the kernel.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
	 struct mod_ops    *drv_modops;
	 char		   *drv_linkinfo;
	 struct dev_ops    *drv_dev_ops;

       drv_modops	Must always be initialized to the address of mod_driverops. This member identifies the module as a loadable driver.

       drv_linkinfo	Can  be  any string up to MODMAXNAMELEN characters (including the terminating NULL character), and is used to describe the
			module and its version number. This is usually the name of the driver and module  version  information,  but  can  contain
			other information as well.

       drv_dev_ops	Pointer to the driver's dev_ops(9S) structure.
