NET_PROTOCOL_LOOKUP(9F)NET_PROTOCOL_LOOKUP(9F)NAMEnet_protocol_lookup - locate an implementation of a network layer pro‐
tocol
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/neti.h>
net_handle_t net_protocol_lookup(netid_t id, const char *protocol);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
id
network instance identifier.
family
name of the network protocol to find.
DESCRIPTION
The net_protocol_lookup() function attempts to locate a data structure
that defines what capabilities it is exporting through this interface.
The value returned by this call is guaranteed to be valid until it is
passed into a call to net_protocol_release(9F), after which it should
no longer be treated as valid.
The protocol must be a registered name of a network protocol that has
been registered. The symbols NHF_INET and NHF_INET6 should be passed to
net_protocol_lookup() as the protocol name to gain access to either
IPv4 or IPv6 respectively.
RETURN VALUES
The net_protocol_lookup() function returns NULL if it does not find any
knowledge about the network protocol referenced. Otherwise, it returns
a value that can be used with other calls in this framework.
CONTEXT
The net_protocol_lookup() function may be called from user, kernel, or
interrupt context.
