Description
This function is obsolete and is only maintained for compatibility. Use of this function is strongly discouraged. For equivalent functionality provided by new interfaces, see ldi_ev_get_cookie(9F) and ldi_ev_register_callbacks(9F).
The ldi_get_eventcookie() function queries the device tree for a cookie matching the given event name and returns a reference to that cookie. The search is performed by calling up the device tree hierarchy of the device represented by the layered driver handle until
the request is satisfied by a bus nexus driver, or the top of the dev_info tree is reached.
The cookie returned by this function can be used to register a callback handler with ldi_add_event_handler(9F).
Return Values
- DDI_SUCCESS
Cookie handle is returned.
- DDI_FAILURE
Request was not serviceable by any nexus driver in the target device's ancestral device tree hierarchy.
Context
This function may be called from user or kernel contexts.
