NOTE What's in This Document DLPI Programmer's Guide is divided into several chapters. Table 3 describes the content of the chapters in more detail. Table 3 Document Organization Chapter Description Introduction to DLPI DLPI Primitives DLPI Input/Output Controls Appendix Use this chapter to get an overview of DLPI, including addressing information and information on DLPI services. Use this chapter to know about the local management primitives, connectionless mode primitives, raw mode primitives, and primitives to handle XID and TEST operations. Use this chapter to get an overview of the input/output controls (ioctls). In addition, use it to know about the supported ioctls. Use this chapter to get sample programs. All instances of DLPI refer to HP-DLPI, unless explicitly stated otherwise. New and Changed Information in This Edition This edition includes the following changes: • Information on two new primitives (for the 64-bit MIB support) has been added. Typographic Conventions This document uses the following typographic conventions: file Italic (slanted) type indicates document and book names. 13
