 NAME
net_instance_t - packet event structure passed through to hooks
 SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/neti.h>


 INTERFACE LEVEL

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris 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 *);
