Kernel Functions for Driversbiofini(9F)


NAME

 biofini - uninitialize a buffer structure

SYNOPSIS

 
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
voidbiofini(struct buf *bp);

INTERFACE LEVEL

 

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

 
bp
Pointer to the buffer header structure.

DESCRIPTION

 

The biofini() function uninitializes a buf(9S) structure. If a buffer structure has been allocated and initialized using kmem_alloc(9F) and bioinit(9F) it needs to be uninitialized using biofini() before calling kmem_free(9F). It is not necessary to call biofini() before freeing a buffer structure using freerbuf(9F) because freerbuf() will call biofini() directly.

CONTEXT

 

The biofini() function can be called from any context.

EXAMPLES

 Example 1. Using biofini
 

 
struct buf *bp = kmem_alloc(biosize(), KM_SLEEP); 	
bioinit(bp); 	
/* use buffer */ 	
biofini(bp); 	
kmem_free(bp, biosize());

SEE ALSO
