21 Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
29 value returned from a successful call to \fBnet_protocol_lookup\fR(9F).
38 name of the network interface to find.
44 The \fBnet_phylookup()\fR function attempts to resolve the interface name
45 passed in with the network protocol.
48 When called successfully, the value returned represents a network interface
49 that exists, at the time of the call, within the scope of the network
50 interface. This value is only guaranteed to be unique for a name within the
51 scope of the network protocol.
55 The \fBnet_phylookup()\fR function returns -1 if it is not supported by the
56 network protocol, and 0 if the named network interface does not exist (or is
57 otherwise unknown). Otherwise, it returns a value greater than 0
58 representing a network interface that currently exists within the scope of this
