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