58.Sh DATA STRUCTURES
59The device dependent mechanisms for handling packet transmit and receive are
60primarily defined by the functions named above.
61The if_pkt_info data structure contains statistics and identifying info
62necessary for packet transmission.
63While the data structure for packet receipt is the if_rxd_info structure.

190.Sh FUNCTIONS
191All function calls are associated exclusively with either packet transmission
192or receipt.
193The void *sc passed as the first argument to all of the following functions
194represents the driver's softc.
195.Ss Transmit Packet Functions
196.Bl -ohang -offset indent
197.It Fn isc_txd_encap
198Transmit function that sends a packet on an interface.
199The if_pkt_info data structure contains data information fields describing the
200packet.
201This function returns 0 if successful, otherwise an error value is returned.
202.It Fn isc_txd_flush
203Flush function is called immediately after the isc_txd_encap function transmits
204a packet.
205It updates the hardware producer index or increments the descriptors used to
206pidx_or_credits in the queue designated by the qid number.
207This is often referred to as poking the doorbell register.
208.It Fn isc_txd_credits_update
209Credit function advances the buffer ring and calculates the credits
210(descriptors) processed.
211Until the I/O is complete it cleans the range in case of multisegments and
212updates the count of processed packets.
213The function returns the number of processed credits.
214.El
215.Ss Receive Packet Functions
216.Bl -ohang -offset indent
217.It Fn isc_rxd_available
218Function calculates the remaining number of descriptors from a position given
219by idx.
220The function returns this value.
221.It Fn isc_rxd_refill
222Starting with the physical address paddrs, the function reads a packet into the
223rx_ring until a value designated by count is reached.
224vaddrs is typically not needed and is provided for devices that place their own
225metadata in the packet header.
226.It Fn isc_rxd_flush
227Flush function updates the producer pointer on the free list flid in queue set
228number qid to pidx to reflect the presence of new buffers.
229.It Fn isc_rxd_pkt_get
230Process a single software descriptor.
231rxr->rx_base[i] contains a descriptor that describes a received packet.
232Hardware specific information about the buffer referred to by ri is returned in
233the data structure if_rxd_info
