.TH MODULE_INFO 9S "Nov 26, 2002"
.SH NAME
module_info \- STREAMS driver identification and limit value structure
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/stream.h>
.fi

.SH INTERFACE LEVEL
.sp
.LP
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
When a module or driver is declared, several identification and limit values
can be set. These values are stored in the \fBmodule_info\fR structure.
.sp
.LP
The \fBmodule_info\fR structure is intended to be read-only. However, the flow
control limits (\fBmi_hiwat\fR and \fBmi_lowat\fR) and the packet size limits
(\fBmi_minpsz\fR and \fBmi_maxpsz\fR) are copied to the \fBQUEUE\fR structure,
where they can be modified.
.sp
.LP
For a driver, \fBmi_idname\fR must match the name of the driver binary file.
For a module, \fBmi_idname\fR must match the fname field of the \fBfmodsw\fR
structure. See \fBfmodsw\fR(9S) for details.
