.SH NAME
if_tcp, if \- general properties of Internet Protocol network interfaces
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
A network interface is a device for sending and receiving packets on a network.
It is usually a hardware device, although it can be implemented in software.
Network interfaces used by the Internet Protocol (IPv4 or IPv6) must be STREAMS
devices conforming to the Data Link Provider Interface (\fBDLPI\fR). See
\fBdlpi\fR(4P).
.SH APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
.LP
An interface becomes available to \fBIP\fR when it is opened and the \fBIP\fR
module is pushed onto the stream with the \fBI_PUSH\fR \fBioctl\fR(2) command.
(See \fBstreamio\fR(4I)). The \fBSIOCSLIFNAME\fR \fBioctl\fR(2) is issued to
specify the name of the interface and to indicate whether it is IPv4 or IPv6.
This may be initiated by the kernel at boot time or by a user program after the
system is running. Each interface must be assigned an \fBIP\fR address with the
\fBSIOCSLIFADDR\fR \fBioctl()\fR before it can be used. On interfaces where the
network-to-link layer address mapping is static, only the network number is
taken from the \fBioctl()\fR request; the remainder is found in a hardware
specific manner. On interfaces which provide dynamic network-to-link layer
address mapping facilities (for example, Ethernets using \fBarp\fR(4P)), the
entire address specified in the \fBioctl()\fR is used. A routing table entry
for destinations on the network of the interface is installed automatically
when an interface's address is set.
.sp
.LP
You cannot create IPMP IP interfaces using the procedure described above.
Instead, use \fBifconfig\fR(8).
.SH IOCTLS
.LP
The following \fBioctl()\fR calls may be used to manipulate \fBIP\fR network
interfaces. Unless specified otherwise, the request takes an \fBlifreq\fR
structure as its parameter. This structure has the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf

#define LIFNAMSIZ 32
char lifr_name[LIFNAMSIZ]; /* if name, e.g. "le1" */

to the size (in bytes) of the buffer it has allocated for the data. On return,
the kernel sets \fBlifs_len\fR to the actual size required. Note, the
application could set \fBlifs_maxlen\fR to zero to query the kernel of the
required buffer size instead of estimating a buffer size. The application tests
\fBlifs_len\fR <= \fBlifs_maxlen\fR -- if that's true, the buffer was big
enough and the application has an accurate list. If it is false, it needs to
allocate a bigger buffer and try again, and \fBlifs_len\fR provides a hint of
how big to make the next trial. See \fBifconfig\fR(8) for examples of the
