41.Sh NAME
42.Nm ng_UI
43.Nd UI netgraph node type
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.In netgraph/ng_UI.h
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm UI
49node type has two hooks,
50.Dv upstream
51and
52.Dv downstream .
53Packets received on
54.Dv downstream
55must have 0x03 (indicating unnumbered information) as their first byte;
56if not the packet is dropped.
57This byte is then stripped and the
58remainder of the packet sent out on
59.Dv upstream .
60.Pp
61Conversely, packets received on
62.Dv upstream
63will have a 0x03 byte prepended to them before being forwarded out on the
64.Dv downstream
65hook.
66.Sh HOOKS
67This node type supports the following hooks:
68.Pp
69.Bl -tag -width foobar
70.It Dv downstream
71Downstream connection.
72Packets on this side of the node have a 0x03 as
73their first byte.
74.It Dv upstream
75Upstream connection.
76Packets on this side of the node have the
77initial 0x03 byte stripped off.
78.El
79.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
80This node type supports only the generic control messages.
81.Sh SHUTDOWN
82This node shuts down upon receipt of a
83.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
84control message, or when both hooks have been disconnected.
85.Sh SEE ALSO
