NET_INSTANCE_T 9S "Mar 5, 2012"
NAME
net_instance_t - packet event structure passed through to hooks
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/neti.h>
INTERFACE LEVEL
illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).
DESCRIPTION
The net_instance_t data structure defines a collection of instances to be called when relevant events happen within IP. The value returned by the nin_create() function is stored internally and passed back to both the nin_destroy() and nin_shutdown() functions as the second argument. The netid_t passed through to each function can be used to uniquely identify each instance of IP.
STRUCTURE MEMBERS
 char *nin_name;
 void *(*nin_create)(const netid_t);
 void (*nin_destroy)(const netid_t, void *);
 void (*nin_shutdown)(const netid_t, void *);
nin_name

Name of the owner of the instance.

nin_create

Function to be called when a new instance of IP is created. It may not return NULL.

nin_destroy

Function to be called when an instance of IP is being destroyed.

nin_shutdown

Function to be called when an instance of IP is being shutdown. nin_shutdown() is called before nin_destroy() is called.
