Checking the Module Type

Below is sample code that enables a driver to determine if it is running as a regular driver, a module, or a cloneable driver. The open routine returns sflag, which is checked.

    if (sflag == MODOPEN)
             /* then the module is being pushed */
        else if (sflag == CLONEOPEN)
             /* then its being opened as a clonable driver */
     else
             /* its being opened as a regular driver */
