.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBldi_ev_get_cookie()\fR function accepts the string name of a state
change event affecting the device represented by the layered driver handle
"\fBlh\fR" and returns an opaque cookie on success. The call is successful if
the framework supports event notification for the event named by
"\fBevname\fR". If successful, the function returns an opaque cookie through
the "\fBcookiep\fR" parameter. The cookie is required in subsequent calls for
registering callbacks on events.

\fBldi_ev_get_cookie()\fR also accepts the string name of any events defined
for NDI event services. For such events, \fBldi_ev_get_cookie()\fR replaces
\fBldi_get_eventcookie\fR(9F) (which is now obsolete).

The return values for this function are:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBLDI_EV_SUCCESS\fR\fR
.ad
