31.Sh PARAMETERS
32.Bl -tag -width Fa
33.It Fa driver
34A pointer to the driver's private data that was passed in via the
35.Sy m_pdata
36member of the
37.Xr mac_register 9S
38structure to the
39.Xr mac_register 9F
40function.
41.It Fa stat
42The numeric identifier of a statistic.
43.It Fa stat_value
44A pointer to a 64-bit unsigned value in which the device driver should
45place the statistic.
46.El
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Fn mc_getstat
50entry point is used to get statistics from the device driver.
51Statistics are stored as monotonic values.
52They should only ever increase over the lifetime of a device, resetting only as
53part of the instance of a device attaching and detaching.
54When hardware has values that may overflow, it is up to the device driver to
55store them as a 64-bit quantity that does not overflow in its soft state.
56.Pp
57Most device drivers will use a
58.Sy switch
59statement, switching on the value of the statistic
60.Fa stat .
61The full list of supported statistics is available in the
62.Sx STATISTICS
63section of
64.Xr mac 9E .
65.Pp
66If a device driver recognizes the value of
67.Fa stat ,
68then it should store the current 64-bit unsigned integer into
69.Fa stat_value .
70If the device driver does not support the statistic or does not
71recognize the requested statistic, then it should not set anything in
72.Fa stat_value
73and instead return
74.Er ENOTSUP .
75.Pp
76The device driver can obtain access to its soft state through the
77.Fa driver
78member.
79It should be cast to the appropriate structure.
80The device driver should employ any necessary locking to access the statistic
81members of its soft state to ensure that the data is properly serialized.
82.Sh RETURN VALUES
83Upon successful completion, the device driver should fill in
84.Fa stat_value
85and return
86.Sy 0 .
87Otherwise it should return a non-zero error number to indicate an error
88occurred.
89.Sh EXAMPLES
90The following example shows how a driver might structure its
91.Fn mc_getstat
92entry point.

139.Sh ERRORS
140The device driver may return one of the following errors.
141While this list is not intended to be exhaustive, it is recommended to use one
142of these if possible.
143.Bl -tag -width Er
144.It Er ENOTSUP
145The specified statistic is unknown, unsupported, or unimplemented.
146.It Er EIO
147A transport or DMA FM related error occurred while trying to sync data
148from the device.
149.It Er ECANCELLED
150The device is not currently in a state where it can currently service
151the request.
