DLPI Input/Output Controls NOTE DLPI and HP-UX LAN device drivers are STREAMS-based. STREAMS enable the user applications to perform control functions using the ioctl calls on a stream attached to a driver instance. All the LAN-class drivers can be accessed only through /dev/dlpi device file. DLPI has provided ioctls to: • Negotiate options and fast-path by transport layer. • Perform driver-specific operations and/or communicate driver-specific data. DLPI has also defined ioctls that are not interpreted by DLPI and are sent directly to the driver. These ioctls are called Transparent ioctls. The two transparent ioctls defined by DLPI are as follows: • DL_HP_SET_DRV_PARAM_IOCTL • DL_HP_GET_DRV_PARAM_IOCTL For more information on these ioctls, see "DL_HP_SET_DRV_PARAM_IOCTL" on page 173 and "DL_HP_GET_DRV_PARAM_IOCTL" on page 177. In addition to the transparent ioctls, this chapter contains detailed information on other ioctls supported by DLPI (see "Supported ioctls" on page 169). The following section of this chapter contains information on how ioctls are processed. 166 Chapter 3
