42.El
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn mac_getinfo
46function is the default
47.Xr getinfo 9E
48entry point provided by the
49.Xr mac 9E
50framework.
51.Pp
52Generally a MAC provider is free to leave the
53.Xr getinfo 9E
54entry point unset and allow the framework to provide a default implementation.
55.Pp
56However, if a driver wants to expose additional device nodes or relies on some
57special mapping of device instance to MAC instance then it must provide its own
58.Xr getinfo 9E
59entry point.
60Such a driver may then call the
61.Fn mac_getinfo
62function to handle requests for MAC reserved nodes, propagating the return
63value.
64See the
65.Sy Custom Device Nodes
66section of
67.Xr mac 9E
68for more details.
69.Sh CONTEXT
70The
71.Fn mac_getinfo
72function should be used during the execution of a driver's
73.Xr getinfo 9E
74entry point.
75.Sh RETURN VALUES
76.Fn mac_getinfo
77returns
78.Dv DDI_SUCCESS
79on success or
80.Dv DDI_FAILURE
81otherwise.
