 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      dlpi_ext.h - HP-specific extensions for DLPI

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      /usr/include/sys/dlpi_ext.h

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      <dlpi_ext.h> is the header file for HP-specific extensions to data
      link provider interface, DLPI 2.0 standard.  The header file contains
      definitions for primitives, acknowledgements, ioctls and associated
      structures to satisfy needs of DLS users over and beyond what is
      provided by DLPI 2.0 standard.

      The header file must be included by all DLS users (user-space and
      kernel-space) who intend to interact with LAN drivers through DLPI.

      The manual page dlpi(7) provides an overview of HP-UX's DLPI.  The
      header file <dlpi.h> contains DLPI requests; see dlpi(4).  The
      <dlpi_drv.h> header file contains definitions that are required by
      networking device drivers to interact with DLPI; see dlpi_drv(4).
