ddi_driver_major(9F)					   Kernel Functions for Drivers 				      ddi_driver_major(9F)

NAME

       ddi_driver_major - return driver's major device number

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/ddi.h>
       #include <sys/sunddi.h>

       major_t ddi_driver_major(dev_info_t *dip);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

DESCRIPTION

       ddi_driver_major()  returns  the major device number for the driver associated with the supplied dev_info node. This value can then be used
       as an argument to makedevice(9F) to construct a complete dev_t.

PARAMETERS

       dip

	   A pointer to the device's dev_info structure.

RETURN VALUES

       ddi_driver_major() returns the major number of the driver bound to a device, if any, or DDI_MAJOR_T_NONE otherwise.

CONTEXT

       ddi_driver_major() can be called from kernel or interrupt context.

ddi_binding_name(9F)					   Kernel Functions for Drivers 				      ddi_binding_name(9F)

NAME

       ddi_binding_name, ddi_get_name - return driver binding name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/ddi.h>
       #include <sys/sunddi.h>

       char *ddi_binding_name(dev_info_t *dip);

       char *ddi_get_name(dev_info_t *dip);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       dip	A pointer to the device's dev_info structure.

DESCRIPTION

       ddi_binding_name() and ddi_get_name() return the driver binding name. This is the name used to select a driver for the device. This name is
       typically derived from the device  name property or the device compatible property. The name returned may be a driver alias or  the  driver
       name.

RETURN VALUES

       ddi_binding_name() and ddi_get_name() return the name used to bind a driver to a device.

CONTEXT

       ddi_binding_name() and ddi_get_name() can be called from user, kernel, or interrupt context.

SEE ALSO

       ddi_node_name(9F)

WARNINGS

       The name returned by ddi_binding_name() and ddi_get_name() is read-only.
