LDI_EV_GET_COOKIE(9F)LDI_EV_GET_COOKIE(9F)NAMEldi_ev_get_cookie - get an LDI event cookie for a specified event
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/sunldi.h>
int ldi_ev_get_cookie(ldi_handle_t lh, char *evname,
ldi_ev_cookie_t *cookiep);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)
PARAMETERS
ldi_handle_t lh
A layered handle representing the device for which the event noti‐
fication was requested.
char *evname
The string name of the event.
ldi_ev_cookie_t *cookiep
A pointer to type ldi_ev_cookie_t. Contains a pointer to the event
cookie on return.
DESCRIPTION
The ldi_ev_get_cookie() function accepts the string name of a state
change event affecting the device represented by the layered driver
handle "lh" and returns an opaque cookie on success. The call is suc‐
cessful if the framework supports event notification for the event
named by "evname". If successful, the function returns an opaque cookie
through the "cookiep" parameter. The cookie is required in subsequent
calls for registering callbacks on events.
The following two LDI events are currently defined:
LDI_EV_OFFLINE
The device is moving to the offline state.
LDI_EV_DEGRADE
The device is moving to the degraded state.
ldi_ev_get_cookie() also accepts the string name of any events defined
for NDI event services. For such events, ldi_ev_get_cookie() replaces
ldi_get_eventcookie(9F) (which is now obsolete).
RETURN VALUES
The return values for this function are:
LDI_EV_SUCCESS
The event cookie was created successfully.
LDI_EV_FAILURE
An error occurred and the cookie was not created.
CONTEXT
This function can be called from user and kernel contexts only.
