NAME

       hook_t - callback structure for subscribing to netinfo events

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/hook.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

DESCRIPTION

       The  hook_t  data structure defines a callback that is to be inserted into a networking event. This data structure must be allocated with a
       call to hook_alloc() and released with a call to hook_free().

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

	 hook_func_t  h_func;	   /* callback function to invoke */
	 char	      *h_name;	   /* unique name given to the hook */
	 int	      h_flags;
	 hook_hint_t  h_hint;	   /* insertion hint type */
	 uintptr_t    h_hintvalue; /* used with h_hint */
	 void	      *h_arg;	   /* value to pass into h_func */

	 typedef int (*hook_func_t)(net_event_t token, hook_data_t info,
		       void *);

   HINT TYPES
       Hook hints are hints that are used at the time of insertion and are not rules that enforce where a hook lives for its entire lifetime on an
       event. The valid values for the h_hint field are:

       HH_NONE	    Insert the hook wherever convenient.

       HH_FIRST     Place the hook first on the list of hooks.

       HH_LAST	    Place the hook last on the list of hooks.

       HH_BEFORE    Place  the	hook  before  another hook on the list of hooks. The value in h_hintvalue must be a pointer to the name of another
		    hook.

       HH_AFTER     Place the hook after another hook on the list of hooks. The value in h_hintvalue must be a pointer	to  the  name  of  another
		    hook.
