NAME
       module_info - STREAMS driver identification and limit value structure

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/stream.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).

DESCRIPTION
       When  a module or driver is declared, several identification and limit values can be set. These values are stored in the module_info struc-
       ture.

       The module_info structure is intended to be read-only. However, the flow control limits (mi_hiwat and mi_lowat) and the packet size  limits
       (mi_minpsz and mi_maxpsz) are copied to the QUEUE structure, where they can be modified.

       For  a  driver,	mi_idname  must match the name of the driver binary file. For a module, mi_idname must match the fname field of the fmodsw
       structure. See fmodsw(9S) for details.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
       ushort_t      mi_idnum;	    /* module ID number */
       char	     *mi_idname;    /* module name */
       ssize_t	     mi_minpsz;     /* minimum packet size */
       ssize_t	     mi_maxpsz;     /* maximum packet size */
       size_t	     mi_hiwat;	    /* high water mark */
       size_t	     mi_lowat;	    /* low water mark */

       The constant FMNAMESZ, limiting the length of a module's name, is set to eight in this release.
