NAME

       net_event_notify_register, net_event_notify_unregister - add/delete a function to be called for changes to a event

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/hook.h>
       #include <sys/neti.h>

       int net_event_notify_register(net_handle_t family, char
	    *event, hook_notify_fn_t *callback, void *arg);

       int net_event_notify_unregister(net_handle_t family, char
	    *event, hook_notify_fn_t *callback);

       typedef int (* hook_notify_fn_t)(hook_notify_cmd_t command,
	    void *arg, const char *name1, const char *name2, const char
	    *name3);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       family	   value returned from a successful call to net_protocol_lookup().

       callback    function to call when a change occurs.

       event	   name of the event for which notification of change is desired.

       arg	   pointer to pass into the callback() function when a change occurs.

DESCRIPTION

       The  net_event_notify_register()  function  registers a function represented by the pointer callback to be called when there is a change to
       the event represented by family. The types of changes for which notifications are available for is currently limited to	the  addition  and
       removal of hooks.

       The  net_event_notify_unregister()  function  indicates	that there is no longer any desire to receive notification of changes to the event
       through function calls to the specified callback.

       The name of a hook should be considered a private interface unless otherwise specified. The hook names used by IPFilter in  Solaris  are  a
       public, but uncommitted, interface.

       Multiple  callback  functions may be registered through this interface. The same set of parameters is passed to each callback function. The
       memory referenced through the pointers passed to  the  callback should be treated as pointing to read-only memory. Changing  this  data	is
       strictly prohibited.

       The function that is called when the event occurs must not block any other events.

       The arguments passed through to the callback are as follows (the command is either HN_REGISTER or HN_UNREGISTER):

       name1	is the name of the protocol.

       name2	is the name of the event

       name3	is the name of the hook being added/removed

RETURN VALUES

       If these functions succeed, 0 is returned. Otherwise, the following error is returned:

       EEXIST	 the given callback function is already registered.

CONTEXT

       These functions may be called from user or kernel context.

NAME

       net_hook_register - add a hook to be called in event processing

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/neti.h>

       net_hook_t net_hook_register(const net_data_t net, hook_t *hook);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       net     value returned from a successful call to net_protocol_register().

       hook    pointer to a hook_t structure.

DESCRIPTION

       The net_hook_register() function uses hooks that allow callbacks to be registered with events that belong to a network protocol. A success-
       ful call to net_hook_register() requires that a valid handle for a network protocol be provided (the net  parameter),  along  with  a  hook
       description that includes a reference to an available event.

       While it is possible to use the same hook_t structure with multiple calls to net_hook_register(), it is not encouraged.

       The hook_t structure passed in with this function is described by hook_t(9S). The following describes how this structure is used.

       h_func		      Must be non-NULL and represent a function that fits the specified interface.

       h_name		      Gives  the  hook	a name that represents its owner. No duplication of h_name among the hooks present for an event is
			      allowed.

       h_flags		      Currently unused and must be set to 0.

       h_hint, h_hintvalue    Specify a hint to net_hook_register() on how to insert this hook. If the hint cannot be specified, then an error	is
			      returned.

       h_arg;		      May take any value that the consumer wishes to have passed back when the hook is activated.

RETURN VALUES

       If the net_hook_register() function succeeds, 0 is returned. Otherwise, one of the following errors is returned:

       ENOMEM	 The system cannot allocate any more memory to support registering this hook.

       ENXIO	 A hook cannot be found among the given family of events.

       EEXIST	 A hook with the given h_name already exists on that event.

       ESRCH	 A before or after dependency cannot be satisfied due to the hook with

       EBUSY	 The  h_hint  field specifies a hint that cannot currently be satisfied because it conflicts with another hook. An example of this
		 might be specifying HH_FIRST or HH_LAST when another hook has already been registered with this value.

CONTEXT

       The net_hook_register() function may be called from user  or kernel context.
