NAME
intro - introduction to driver data
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
DESCRIPTION
This section describes the data definitions a developer needs
to include in a device driver. The system finds this
information in an implementation-specific manner, usually tied
to the way system configuration is handled.
USAGE
Each driver is uniquely identified by a prefix string
specified in its configuration file. The name of all the
driver-supplied routines and global variables should begin
with this prefix. This will reduce the chance of a symbol
collision with another driver. Any private routines defined
by a driver that are not entry point routines should be
declared as static. Also, any global variables that are
private to the driver should be declared as static.
