 NAME
ldi_ident_from_dev, ldi_ident_from_stream, ldi_ident_from_dip,
ldi_ident_release - ldi cookie management
 SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/sunldi.h>

int ldi_ident_from_dip(dev_info_t *dip, ldi_ident_t *lip);


int ldi_ident_from_dev(dev_t dev, ldi_ident_t *lip);


int ldi_ident_from_stream(struct queue *sq, ldi_ident_t *lip);


void ldi_ident_release(ldi_ident_t li);


 PARAMETERS
li

ldi identifier


lip

ldi identifier pointer


dip

pointer to device info node


dev

device number


sq

pointer to a stream queue


 DESCRIPTION

The ldi_ident_from_dev() function allocates and returns an ldi
identifier that is associated with the device number specified by dev.
The new ldi identifier is returned in the ldi identifier pointer parameter
lip.

The ldi_ident_from_dip() function allocates and returns an ldi
identifier that is associated with the device info node pointed to by dip. The
new ldi identifier is returned in the ldi identifier pointer parameter
lip.

The ldi_ident_from_stream() function allocates and returns an ldi
identifier that is associated with the stream pointed to by queue. The
new ldi identifier is returned in the ldi identifier pointer parameter
lip.

The ldi_ident_release() function releases an identifier that was
allocated by one of the ldi_ident_from_*() functions.
 RETURN VALUES

The ldi_ident_from_dev(), ldi_ident_from_dip(), and
ldi_ident_from_stream() functions return 0 upon success.

All of these functions return EINVAL for invalid input parameters.
 CONTEXT

These functions can be called from user or kernel context.
