NAME
     ldi_ident_from_dev,                   ldi_ident_from_stream,
     ldi_ident_from_dip,  ldi_ident_release  - ldi cookie manage-

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     int ldi_ident_from_dip(dev_info_t *dip, ldi_ident_t *lip);


     int ldi_ident_from_dev(dev_t dev, ldi_ident_t *lip);


     int ldi_ident_from_stream(struct queue *sq, ldi_ident_t *lip);


     void ldi_ident_release(ldi_ident_t li);


PARAMETERS
     li     ldi identifier


     lip    ldi identifier pointer


     dip    pointer to device info node


     dev    device number


     sq     pointer to a stream queue


DESCRIPTION
     The ldi_ident_from_dev() function allocates and  returns  an
     ldi  identifier  that  is  associated with the device number
     specified by dev. The new ldi identifier is returned in  the
     ldi identifier pointer parameter lip.


     The ldi_ident_from_dip() function allocates and  returns  an
     ldi  identifier that is associated with the device info node
     pointed to by dip. The new ldi identifier  is   returned  in
     the ldi identifier pointer parameter lip.


     The ldi_ident_from_stream() function allocates  and  returns
     an ldi identifier that is associated with the stream pointed
     to by queue. The new ldi identifier is returned in  the  ldi

     identifier pointer parameter lip.


     The ldi_ident_release() function releases an identifier that
     was allocated by one of the ldi_ident_from_*() functions.

RETURN VALUES
     The    ldi_ident_from_dev(),    ldi_ident_from_dip(),    and
     ldi_ident_from_stream() functions return 0 upon success.


     All of these  functions  return  EINVAL  for  invalid  input
     parameters.

CONTEXT
     These functions can be called from user or kernel context.
