NAME

net_getmtu - determine the MTU of a given network interface

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/neti.h>

int net_getmtu(const net_data_t net, const phy_if_t ifp);

INTERFACE LEVEL

illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).

PARAMETERS

net
value returned from a successful call to net_protocol_lookup(9F).


ifp
value returned from a successful call to net_phylookup(9F) or
net_phygetnext(9F).

DESCRIPTION

The net_getmtu() function receives information about the current MTU of a
network interface. The value returned from this function call should not
be cached as the MTU of a network interface since it is not guaranteed to
be constant.

RETURN VALUES

The net_getmtu() function returns -1 if the network protocol does not
support this feature and otherwise returns the current MTU of the network
interface.

CONTEXT

The net_getmtu() function may be called from user, kernel, or interrupt
context.
