NET_EVENT_NOTIFY_REGISTER(9F)NET_EVENT_NOTIFY_REGISTER(9F)NAME
net_event_notify_register, net_event_notify_unregister - add/delete a
function to be called for changes to a event
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/hook.h>
#include <sys/neti.h>
int net_event_notify_register(net_handle_t family, char
*event, hook_notify_fn_t *callback, void *arg);
int net_event_notify_unregister(net_handle_t family, char
*event, hook_notify_fn_t *callback);
typedef int (* hook_notify_fn_t)(hook_notify_cmd_t command,
void *arg, const char *name1, const char *name2, const char
*name3);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
family
value returned from a successful call to net_proto‐
col_lookup().
callback
function to call when a change occurs.
event
name of the event for which notification of change is
desired.
arg
pointer to pass into the callback() function when a change
occurs.
DESCRIPTION
The net_event_notify_register() function registers a function repre‐
sented by the pointer callback to be called when there is a change to
the event represented by family. The types of changes for which notifi‐
cations are available for is currently limited to the addition and
removal of hooks.
The net_event_notify_unregister() function indicates that there is no
longer any desire to receive notification of changes to the event
through function calls to the specified callback.
The name of a hook should be considered a private interface unless oth‐
erwise specified. The hook names used by IPFilter in Solaris are a pub‐
lic, but uncommitted, interface.
Multiple callback functions may be registered through this interface.
The same set of parameters is passed to each callback function. The
memory referenced through the pointers passed to the callback should
be treated as pointing to read-only memory. Changing this data is
strictly prohibited.
The function that is called when the event occurs must not block any
other events.
The arguments passed through to the callback are as follows (the com‐
mand is either HN_REGISTER or HN_UNREGISTER):
name1
is the name of the protocol.
name2
is the name of the event
name3
is the name of the hook being added/removed
RETURN VALUES
If these functions succeed, 0 is returned. Otherwise, the following
error is returned:
EEXIST
the given callback function is already registered.
CONTEXT
These functions may be called from user or kernel context.
