NET_PROTOCOL_WALK(9F)NET_PROTOCOL_WALK(9F)NAMEnet_protocol_walk - step through the list of registered network proto‐
cols
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/neti.h>
net_data_t *net_protocol_walk(net_data_t net);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
net
value returned from a successful call to net_proto‐
col_lookup(9F).
DESCRIPTION
The net_protocol_walk() function walks through all of the network pro‐
tocols that have been registered with this interface. The initial call
to net_protocol_walk() should be made by passing in NULL as the value
for net. When this function returns NULL, the end of the list has been
reached.
A caller of net_protocol_walk() is required to walk through the entire
list of network protocols, until NULL is returned or, when finished
with using the value returned, pass it into a call to net_proto‐
col_release(9F).
RETURN VALUES
The net_protocol_walk() function returns NULL when the end of the list
is returned. Otherwise, it returns a non-NULL value as a token for
being passed into other function calls within this interface.
CONTEXT
The net_protocol_walk() function may be called from user, kernel, or
interrupt context.
