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

     void    *(*nin_create)(const netid_t);
