Kernel Functions for Drivers                net_protocol_walk(9F)



NAME
     net_protocol_walk - step through the list of registered net-
     work protocols

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     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_protocol_lookup(9F).


DESCRIPTION
     The net_protocol_walk() function walks through  all  of  the
     network protocols that have been registered with this inter-
     face. 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_protocol_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.
