189.Sh FUNCTIONS
190All function calls are associated exclusively with either packet transmission
191or receipt.
192The void *sc passed as the first argument to all of the following functions
193represents the driver's softc.
194.Ss Transmit Packet Functions
195.Bl -ohang -offset indent
196.It Fn isc_txd_encap
197Transmit function that sends a packet on an interface.
198The if_pkt_info data structure contains data information fields describing the
199packet.
200This function returns 0 if successful, otherwise an error value is returned.
201.It Fn isc_txd_flush
202Flush function is called immediately after the isc_txd_encap function transmits
203a packet.
204It updates the hardware producer index or increments the descriptors used to
205pidx_or_credits in the queue designated by the qid number.
206This is often referred to as poking the doorbell register.
207.It Fn isc_txd_credits_update
208Credit function advances the buffer ring and calculates the credits
209(descriptors) processed.
210Until the I/O is complete it cleans the range in case of multisegments and
211updates the count of processed packets.
212The function returns the number of processed credits.
213.El
214.Ss Receive Packet Functions
215.Bl -ohang -offset indent
216.It Fn isc_rxd_available
217Function calculates the remaining number of descriptors from a position given
218by idx.
219The function returns this value.
220.It Fn isc_rxd_refill
221Starting with the physical address paddrs, the function reads a packet into the
222rx_ring until a value designated by count is reached.
223vaddrs is typically not needed and is provided for devices that place their own
224metadata in the packet header.
225.It Fn isc_rxd_flush
226Flush function updates the producer pointer on the free list flid in queue set
227number qid to pidx to reflect the presence of new buffers.
228.It Fn isc_rxd_pkt_get
229Process a single software descriptor.
230rxr->rx_base[i] contains a descriptor that describes a received packet.
231Hardware specific information about the buffer referred to by ri is returned in
232the data structure if_rxd_info
