|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.IX "if device" "" "\fLif\fP \(em network interface general properties" "" PAGE START
|
|
Each network interface in a system corresponds to a
|
|
path through which messages may be sent and received. A network
|
|
interface usually has a hardware device associated with it, but
|
|
certain interfaces, such as the loopback interface
|
|
.IR lo (4),
|
|
do not.
|
|
.LP
|
|
At boot time each interface which has underlying hardware support
|
|
makes itself known to the system during the autoconfiguration
|
|
process. Once the interface has acquired its address it is
|
|
expected to install a routing table entry so that messages may
|
|
be routed through it. Most interfaces require some part of
|
|
their address specified with an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl before they
|
|
will allow traffic to flow through them. On interfaces where
|
|
the network-link layer address mapping is static, only the
|
|
network number is taken from the ioctl; the remainder is found
|
|
in a hardware specific manner. On interfaces which provide
|
|
dynamic network-link layer address mapping facilities (for example,
|
|
10Mb/s Ethernets using
|
|
.IR arp (4P),),
|
|
the entire address specified in the ioctl is used.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The following
|
|
.I ioctl
|
|
calls may be used to manipulate network interfaces. Unless
|
|
specified otherwise, the request takes an
|
|
.I ifreq
|
|
structure as its parameter. This structure has the form
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|
|
struct ifreq {
|
|
char ifr_name[16]; /* name of interface (e.g. "ec0") */
|
|
union {
|
|
struct sockaddr ifru_addr;
|
|
struct sockaddr ifru_dstaddr;
|
|
short ifru_flags;
|
|
} ifr_ifru;
|
|
#define ifr_addr ifr_ifru.ifru_addr /* address */
|
|
#define ifr_dstaddr ifr_ifru.ifru_dstaddr /* other end of p-to-p link */
|
|
#define ifr_flags ifr_ifru.ifru_flags /* flags */
