#include <sys/errno.h>
#include <net/if.h>

void if_nostat (ifp)
struct ifnet *ifp;

Parameter

Description

The if_nostat kernel service zeroes the statistic elements of the ifnet structure for the interface. The ifp parameter specifies the ifnet structure associated with the interface that is being attached. The if_nostat service is called from the interface attach routine.

Execution Environment

The if_nostat kernel service can be called from either the process or interrupt environment.

Return Values

The if_nostat service has no return values.
