1.Dd September 20, 2018 2.Dt IFLIB 9 3.Os 4.Sh NAME 5.Nm iflib 6.Nd Network Interface Driver Framework 7.Sh DESCRIPTION 8.Nm 9is a framework for writing network interface drivers for 10.Fx . 11It is designed to remove a large amount of the boilerplate that is often 12needed for modern network interface devices, allowing driver authors to 13focus on the specific code needed for their hardware. 14.Pp 15There are three logical components to 16.Nm 17each of which is described in its own manual page. 18These are: 19.Bl -tag -width ".Xr iflibtxrx 9" 20.It Xr iflibdi 9 21Device-independent functions, used to integrate 22.Nm 23into the rest of the 24.Fx 25networking stack. 26.It Xr iflibdd 9 27Device-dependent functions, used when writing new 28.Nm 29based drivers. 30.It Xr iflibtxrx 9 31Device-dependent transmit and receive functions, used when writing new 32.Nm 33based drivers. 34.El 35.Sh SEE ALSO 36.Xr iflib 4 , 37.Xr iflibdd 9 , 38.Xr iflibdi 9 , 39.Xr iflibtxrx 9 , 40.Xr ifnet 9 41.Sh AUTHORS 42.An Benno Rice Aq Mt benno@FreeBSD.org 43
