57.Sh DESCRIPTION
58Network protocols installed in the system are maintained within what
59are called domains
60(for example the
61.Va inetdomain
62and
63.Va localdomain ) .
64.Bd -literal

84	int	(*dom_ifmtu)(struct ifnet *);
85					/* af-dependent data on ifnet */
86};
87.Ed
88.Pp
89Each domain contains an array of protocol switch structures
90.Pq Vt "struct protosw *" ,
91one for each socket type supported.
92.Bd -literal
93struct protosw {
94	short	pr_type;		/* socket type used for */
95	struct	domain *pr_domain;	/* domain protocol a member of */
96	short	pr_protocol;		/* protocol number */

111.Ed
112.Pp
113The following functions handle the registration of a new domain,
114lookups of specific protocols and protocol types within those domains,
115and handle control messages from the system.
116.Pp
117.Fn pfctlinput
118is called by the system whenever an event occurs that could affect every
119domain.
120Examples of those types of events are routing table changes, interface
121shutdowns or certain
122.Tn ICMP
123message types.
124When called,
125.Fn pfctlinput
126calls the protocol specific
127.Fn pr_ctlinput
128function for each protocol in that has defined one, in every domain.
129.Pp
130.Fn domain_add
131adds a new protocol domain to the system.
132The argument
133.Fa data
134is cast directly to
135.Vt "struct domain *"
136within the function, but is declared
137.Vt "void *"
138in order to prevent compiler warnings when new domains are registered with
139.Fn SYSINIT .
140In most cases
141.Fn domain_add
142is not called directly, instead
143.Fn DOMAIN_SET
144is used.
145.Pp
146If the new domain has defined an initialization routine, it is called by
147.Fn domain_add ;
148as well, each of the protocols within the domain that have defined an
149initialization routine will have theirs called.
150.Pp
151Once a domain is added it cannot be unloaded.
152This is because there is
153no reference counting system in place to determine if there are any
154active references from sockets within that domain.
155.Pp
156.Fn pffinddomain
157finds a domain by family.
158If the domain cannot be found,
159.Dv NULL
160is returned.
161.Pp
162.Fn pffindtype
163and
164.Fn pffindproto
165look up a protocol by its number or by its type.
166In most cases, if the protocol or type cannot be found,
167.Dv NULL
168is returned, but
169.Fn pffindproto
170may return the default if the requested type is
171.Dv SOCK_RAW ,
172a protocol switch type of
173.Dv SOCK_RAW
174is found, and the domain has a default raw protocol.
175.Pp
176Both functions are called by
177.Fn socreate
178in order to resolve the protocol for the socket currently being created.
179.Pp
180.Fn DOMAIN_SET
181is a macro that simplifies the registration of a domain via
182.Fn SYSINIT .
183The code resulting from the macro expects there to be a domain structure
184named
185.Dq Fa name Ns Li domain
186where
187.Fa name
188is the argument to
189.Fn DOMAIN_SET :
190.Bd -literal
191struct domain localdomain =
192{ AF_LOCAL, "local", unp_init, unp_externalize, unp_dispose,
193  localsw, &localsw[sizeof(localsw)/sizeof(localsw[0])] };
194
195DOMAIN_SET(local);
196.Ed
197.Sh RETURN VALUES
198Both
199.Fn pffindtype
200and
201.Fn pffindproto
202return a
203.Vt "struct protosw *"
204for the protocol requested.
205If the protocol or socket type is not found,
206.Dv NULL
207is returned.
208In the case of
209.Fn pffindproto ,
210the default protocol may be returned for
211.Dv SOCK_RAW
212types if the domain has a default raw protocol.
