Device File Format
The description of the device file formats required for accessing the
STREAMS DLPI LAN driver is as follows:
NOTE
HP DLPI supports up to 100 non-clone device files. HP recommends that
device file names follow the naming convention
/dev/dlpiX
, where
X
is
the number of the device.
Header Files
There are two DLPI header files:
dlpi.h
and
dlpi_ext.h
. Both these
header files are present in
/usr/include/sys
.
dlpi.h
contains definitions for the standard DLPI primitives, and
dlpi_ext.h
contains definitions for the HP extended DLPI primitives.
