net_instance_t(9S)					    Data Structures for Drivers 					net_instance_t(9S)

NAME

       net_instance_t - packet event structure passed through to hooks

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/neti.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

DESCRIPTION

       The  net_instance_t data structure defines a collection of instances to be called when relevant events happen within IP. The value returned
       by the nin_create() function is stored internally and passed back to both the nin_destroy() and	nin_shutdown()	functions  as  the  second
       argument. The netid_t passed through to each function can be used to uniquely identify each instance of IP.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

	     char    *nin_name;
	      void    *(*nin_create)(const netid_t);
	      void    (*nin_destroy)(const netid_t, void *);
	      void    (*nin_shutdown)(const netid_t, void *);

       nin_name        Name of the owner of the instance.

       nin_create      Function to be called when a new instance of IP is created.

       nin_destroy     Function to be called when an instance of IP is being destroyed.

       nin_shutdown    Function to be called when an instance of IP is being shutdown. nin_shutdown() is called before nin_destroy() is called.

PARAMETERS

       version	  must always be the symbol NETI_VERSION.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon success, net_instance_alloc() returns a pointer to the allocated net_instance_t structure. On failure, it returns a NULL pointer.

CONTEXT
