NET_PHYLOOKUP(9F)NET_PHYLOOKUP(9F)NAMEnet_phylookup - determine if a network interface name exists for a net‐
work protocol
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/neti.h>
phy_if_t net_phylookup(const net_data_t net, const char *name);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
net
value returned from a successful call to net_proto‐
col_lookup(9F).
name
name of the network interface to find.
DESCRIPTION
The net_phylookup() function attempts to resolve the interface name
passed in with the network protocol.
When called successfully, the value returned represents a network
interface that exists, at the time of the call, within the scope of the
network interface. This value is only guaranteed to be unique for a
name within the scope of the network protocol.
RETURN VALUES
The net_phylookup() function returns -1 if it is not supported by the
network protocol, and 0 if the named network interface does not exist
(or is otherwise unknown). Otherwise, it returns a value greater
than 0 representing a network interface that currently exists within
the scope of this network protocol.
CONTEXT
The net_phylookup() function may be called from user, kernel, or
interrupt context.
