NAME
datamsg - test whether a message is a data message
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stream.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
int datamsg(uchar_t type);
Arguments
type The type of message to be tested.
DESCRIPTION
The datamsg function tests the type of message to determine if
it is a data message type (M_DATA, M_DELAY, M_PROTO, or
M_PCPROTO).
Return Values
datamsg returns 1 if the message is a data message and 0 if
the message is any other type.
USAGE
The db_type field of the datab structure contains the message
type. This field may be accessed through the message block
using mp->b_datap->db_type.
Level
Base or Interrupt.
Synchronization Constraints
Does not sleep.
Driver-defined basic locks, read/write locks, and sleep locks
may be held across calls to this function.
Examples
The put(D2) routine enqueues all data messages for handling by
the srv(D2) (service) routine. All non-data messages are
handled in the put routine.
