.SH INTERFACE LEVEL
.sp
.LP
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI). The \fBddi_pokec()\fR, \fBddi_pokes()\fR,
\fBddi_pokel()\fR, and \fBddi_poked()\fR functions are obsolete. Use,
respectively, \fBddi_poke8()\fR, \fBddi_poke16()\fR, \fBddi_poke32()\fR, and
\fBddi_poke64()\fR, instead.
.SH PARAMETERS
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIdip\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 9n
A pointer to the device's \fBdev_info\fR structure.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIaddr\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 9n
Virtual address of the location to be written to.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIvalue\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 9n
Value to be written to the location.
.RE

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These routines cautiously attempt to write a value to a specified virtual
address, using the parent nexus driver to assist in the process where
necessary.
.sp
.LP
If the address is not valid, or the value cannot be written without an error
occurring, an error code is returned.
.sp
.LP
These routines are most useful when first trying to establish the presence of a
given device on the system in a driver's \fBprobe\fR(9E) or \fBattach\fR(9E)
routines.
.sp
.LP
On multiprocessing machines these routines can be extremely heavy-weight, so
use the \fBddi_peek\fR(9F) routines instead if possible.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBDDI_SUCCESS\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
The value was successfully written to the given virtual address.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBDDI_FAILURE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
An error occurred while trying to write to the location.
.RE

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

.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
The functions described in this manual page previously used symbolic names
which specified their data access size; the function names have been changed so
they now specify a fixed-width data size. See the following table for the new
name equivalents:
