Return values
Returns the module identifier of the driver or module which has
the given name, or 0 if the given name cannot be found.
Usage
It first searches the character device table for any
STREAMS driver with the given name,
then searches the STREAMS pushable module table.
If no driver or module can be found with that name,
the function returns zero.
The module name is usually the same as the driver or module and
is held in the mi_idname
member
of the module_info structure
pointed to by the qi_minfo
member of the qinit
structure, which is
usually hard coded for each driver or module.
The name should be unique.
