net_hook_register - add a hook to be called in event processing
#include <sys/neti.h>
int net_hook_register(net_handle_t info, char *event, hook_t *hook);
illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).
info
value returned from a successful call to
net_protocol_register().
name
unique name for this hook.
hook
pointer to a hook_t structure.
The net_hook_register() function uses hooks that allow callbacks to be
registered with events that belong to a network protocol. A successful call to
net_hook_register() requires that a valid handle for a network protocol
be provided (the info parameter), along with a unique name and a hook
description that includes a reference to an available event. No two hooks on
the same netstack may share a name.
While it is possible to use the same hook_t structure with
multiple calls to net_hook_register(), it is not encouraged.
The hook_t structure passed in with this function is
described by hook_t(9S). The following describes how this structure
is used.
h_func
Must be non-NULL and represent a function that fits the
specified interface.
h_name
Gives the hook a name that represents its owner. No
duplication of h_name among the hooks present for an event is
allowed.
h_flags
Currently unused and must be set to 0.
h_hint, h_hintvalue
Specify a hint to net_hook_register() on how to
insert this hook. If the hint cannot be specified, then an error is
returned.
h_arg;
May take any value that the consumer wishes to have
passed back when the hook is activated.
If the net_hook_register() function succeeds, 0 is returned. Otherwise,
one of the following errors is returned:
ENOMEM
The system cannot allocate any more memory to support
registering this hook.
ENXIO
A hook cannot be found among the given family of
events.
EEXIST
A hook with the given h_name already exists on
that event.
ESRCH
A before or after dependency cannot be satisfied due to
the hook with
EBUSY
The h_hint field specifies a hint that cannot
currently be satisfied because it conflicts with another hook. An example of
this might be specifying HH_FIRST or HH_LAST when another hook
has already been registered with this value.
ESHUTDOWN
The netstack corresponding to
info is condemned or
no longer exists.
The net_hook_register() function may be called from user or kernel
context.
