Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

cb_ops contains all entry points for drivers that support both character and block entry points. All leaf device drivers supporting direct user process access to a device should declare a cb_ops structure.

All drivers that safely allow multiple threads of execution in the driver at the same time must set the D_MP flag in the cb_flag field.

If the driver properly handles 64-bit offsets, it should also set the D_64BIT flag in the cb_flag field. This specifies that the driver will use the uio_loffset field of the uio(9S) structure.

mt-streams(9F) describes other flags that can be set in the cb_flag field.

cb_rev is the cb_ops structure revision number. This field must be set to CB_REV.

Non-STREAMS drivers should set cb_str to NULL.

The following DDI/DKI or DKI-only or DDI-only functions are provided in the character/block driver operations structure.
