bioinit - initialize a buffer structure
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
void bioinit(struct buf *bp);
illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).
bp
Pointer to the buffer header structure.
The bioinit() function initializes a buf(9S) structure. A buffer
structure contains state information which has to be initialized if the memory
for the buffer was allocated using kmem_alloc(9F). This is not
necessary for a buffer allocated using getrbuf(9F) because
getrbuf() will call bioinit() directly.
The bioinit() function can be called from any context.
Example 1 Using bioinit()
struct buf *bp = kmem_alloc(biosize(), KM_SLEEP);
bioinit(bp);
/* use buffer */
