net_protocol_release(9f) [opensolaris man page]

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_protocol_walk(9F)					   Kernel Functions for Drivers 				     net_protocol_walk(9F)

NAME

       net_protocol_walk - step through the list of registered network protocols

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/neti.h>

       net_data_t *net_protocol_walk(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_walk() function walks through all of the network protocols that have been registered with this interface. The initial call
       to net_protocol_walk() should be made by passing in NULL as the value for net. When this function returns NULL, the end	of  the  list  has
       been reached.

       A  caller of net_protocol_walk() is required to walk through the entire list of network protocols, until NULL is returned or, when finished
       with using the value returned, pass it into a call to net_protocol_release(9F).

RETURN VALUES

       The net_protocol_walk() function returns NULL when the end of the list is returned. Otherwise, it returns a non-NULL value as a	token  for
       being passed into other function calls within this interface.

CONTEXT

       The net_protocol_walk() function may be called from user,  kernel, or interrupt context.
