modldrv(9S) Data Structures for Drivers modldrv(9S)NAME
modldrv - linkage structure for loadable drivers
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/modctl.h>
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)
DESCRIPTION
The modldrv structure is used by device drivers to export driver specific information to the kernel.
STRUCTURE MEMBERS
struct mod_ops *drv_modops;
char *drv_linkinfo;
struct dev_ops *drv_dev_ops;
drv_modops Must always be initialized to the address of mod_driverops. This member identifies the module as a loadable driver.
drv_linkinfo Can be any string up to MODMAXNAMELEN characters (including the terminating NULL character), and is used to describe the
module and its version number. This is usually the name of the driver and module version information, but can contain other
information as well.
drv_dev_ops Pointer to the driver's dev_ops(9S) structure.
SEE ALSO add_drv(1M), dev_ops(9S), modlinkage(9S)

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
