Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

The modlstrmod structure is used by STREAMS modules to export module specific information to the kernel.

struct mod_ops     *strmod_modops;     
char               *strmod_linkinfo;  
struct fmodsw      *strmod_fmodsw;

strmod_modops

Must always be initialized to the address of mod_strmodops. This identifies the module as a loadable STREAMS module.

strmod_linkinfo

Can be any string up to MODMAXNAMELEN, and is used to describe the module. This string is usually the name of the module, but can contain other information (such as a version number).

strmod_fmodsw

Is a pointer to a template of a class entry within the module that is copied to the kernel's class table when the module is loaded.
