NAME

modldrv - linkage structure for loadable drivers

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/modctl.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

DESCRIPTION

The modldrv structure is used by device drivers to export driver specific information to the kernel.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

struct mod_ops

* drv_modops;

char              * drv_linkinfo;
struct dev_ops    * drv_dev_ops;

drv_modops

Must always be initialized to the address of mod_driverops. This identifies the module as a loadable driver.

drv_linkinfo

Can be any string up to MODMAXNAMELEN, and is used to

describe the module. This is usually the name of the driver, but can contain other information (such as a version number).

drv_dev_ops
