34.Sh INTERFACE LEVEL
35.Sy Volatile -
36This interface is still evolving in illumos.
37API and ABI stability is
38not guaranteed.
39.Sh PARAMETERS
40.Bl -tag -width Fa
41.It Fa infop
42A pointer to an opaque structure obtained as an argument to the
43.Xr mct_info 9E
44entry point.
45.It Fa present
46A boolean that indicates whether the transceiver is present.
47.It Fa usable
48A boolean that indicates whether the transceiver is usable.
49.El
50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Fn mac_transceiver_set_present
53and
54.Fn mac_transceiver_set_usable
55functions are used to set information about a transceiver as part of the
56.Xr mct_info 9E
57entry point to obtain information about a MAC transceiver.
58For more information and background, see the
59.Sy Transceiver Information Functions
60section of
61.Xr mac_capab_transceiver 9E .
62.Pp
63The
64.Fn mct_transceiver_set_present
65function sets whether or not the transceiver is present and plugged into
66the system.
67If the transceiver is not plugged in, then the function
68should be called with
69.Fa present set to
70.Dv B_FALSE ,
71otherwise it should use
72.Dv B_TRUE .
73.Pp
74The
75.Fn mct_transceiver_set_usable
76function determines whether or not the device can use the transceiver.
77If the device cannot use the transceiver, then it should call the
78function with
79.Fa usable
80set to
81.Dv B_FALSE .
82Otherwise, it should use
83.Dv B_TRUE .
84If the transceiver is not present, then this function should not be
85called.
86.Sh CONTEXT
87These functions should be called in response to handling the
88.Fn mct_info 9E
89entry point for transceivers in
90.Sy kernel
91context.
