DB_BASE(9F)						   Kernel Functions for Drivers 					       DB_BASE(9F)

NAME
       DB_BASE, DB_LIM, DB_REF, DB_TYPE - Data block access macros

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/stream.h>
       #include <sys/strsun.h>

       uchar_t *DB_BASE(mblk_t *mp);

       uchar_t *DB_LIM(mblk_t *mp);

       uchar_t DB_TYPE(mblk_t *mp);

       uchar_t DB_REF(mblk_t *mp);

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS
       mp	       Message block to be accessed.

DESCRIPTION
       These macros provide compact access to public members of the datab(9S) structure associated with the specified message block.

       In  all	cases, these macros are equivalent to directly accessing the underlying fields of the datab(9S) associated with the specified mes-
       sage block. Specifically:

       DB_BASE(mp) is equivalent to mp->b_datap->db_base.

       DB_LIM(mp) is equivalent to mp->b_datap->db_lim.

       DB_TYPE(mp) is equivalent to mp->b_datap->db_type.

       DB_REF(mp) is equivalent to mp->b_datap->db_ref.

CONTEXT
       These functions can be called from user, kernel or interrupt context.
