LDI_EV_GET_COOKIE 9F "Aug 21, 2007"
NAME
ldi_ev_get_cookie - get an LDI event cookie for a specified event
SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/sunldi.h>

int ldi_ev_get_cookie(ldi_handle_t lh, char *evname,
 ldi_ev_cookie_t *cookiep);
INTERFACE LEVEL

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

PARAMETERS
ldi_handle_t lh

A layered handle representing the device for which the event notification was requested.

char *evname

The string name of the event.

ldi_ev_cookie_t *cookiep

A pointer to type ldi_ev_cookie_t. Contains a pointer to the event cookie on return.

DESCRIPTION

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

The following two LDI events are currently defined: LDI_EV_OFFLINE

The device is moving to the offline state.

LDI_EV_DEGRADE

The device is moving to the degraded state.

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

RETURN VALUES

The return values for this function are: LDI_EV_SUCCESS

The event cookie was created successfully.

LDI_EV_FAILURE

An error occurred and the cookie was not created.

CONTEXT

This function can be called from user and kernel contexts only.
