gld_stats Structure

The GLD statistics (gld_stats) structure is used to communicate statistics and state information from a GLD-based driver to GLD when returning from a driver's gldm_get_stats() routine, as discussed in gld(9E) and gld(7D). The members of this structure, filled in by the GLD-based driver, are used when GLD reports the statistics. In the tables below, the name of the statistics variable reported by GLD is noted in the comments. See gld(7D) for a more detailed description of the meaning of each statistic.

Drivers must not make any assumptions about the length of this structure, which might vary in different releases of Solaris, GLD, or both. Structure members private to GLD, not documented here, should not be set or read by the device-specific driver.

The following structure members are defined for all media types:

uint64_t        glds_speed;                         /* ifspeed */
uint32_t        glds_media;                         /* media */
uint32_t        glds_intr;                          /* intr */

uint32_t        glds_fddi_mac_ring_op;              /* mac_ring_ops */

Most of the above statistics variables are counters denoting the number of times the particular event was observed. Exceptions are:

glds_speed

Estimate of the interface's current bandwidth in bits per second. For interfaces that do not vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this object should contain the nominal bandwidth.

glds_media

Type of media (wiring) or connector used by the hardware. Currently supported media names include GLDM_AUI, GLDM_BNC, GLDM_TP, GLDM_10BT, GLDM_100BT, GLDM_100BTX, GLDM_100BT4, GLDM_RING4, GLDM_RING16, GLDM_FIBER, and GLDM_PHYMII. GLDM_UNKNOWN is also permitted.

glds_duplex

Current duplex state of the interface. Supported values are GLD_DUPLEX_HALF and GLD_DUPLEX_FULL. GLD_DUPLEX_UNKNOWN is also permitted.
