25.Sh DESCRIPTION
26The
27.Sy mac_callbacks
28structure is used by GLDv3 networking device drivers implementing the
29.Xr mac 9E
30interface.
31.Pp
32The structure is normally allocated statically by drivers as a single
33global entry.
34A pointer to it is passed as the
35.Sy m_callbacks
36member of the
37.Sy mac_register_t
38structure.
39.Sh TYPES
40The following types define the function pointers in use in the
41.Sy mac_register_t .

81.Pp
82The
83.Sy mc_callbacks
84member is used to denote which of a series of optional callbacks are
85present.
86This method allows additional members to be added to the
87.Sy mac_callbacks_t
88structure while maintaining ABI compatibility with existing modules.
89If a member is not mentioned below, then it is a part of the base version
90of the structure and device drivers do not need to set anything to
91indicate that it is present.
92The
93.Sy mc_callbacks
94member should be set to the bitwise inclusive OR of the following
95pre-processor values:
96.Bl -tag -width Dv -offset indent

98Indicates that the
99.Sy mc_ioctl
100structure member has been set.
101.It Sy MC_GETCAPAB
102Indicates that the
103.Sy mc_getcapab
104structure member has been set.

108structure member has been set.
109.It Sy MC_CLOSE

112structure member has been set.
113.It Sy MC_SETPROP
114Indicates that the
115.Sy mc_setprop
116structure member has been set.
117.It Sy MC_GETPROP
118Indicates that the
119.Sy mc_getprop
120structure member has been set.
121.It Sy MC_PROPINFO
122Indicates that the
123.Sy mc_propinfo
124structure member has been set.
125.It Sy MC_PROPERTIES

288.Ss Required Members
289Many members in the structure are optional; however, the following
290members must be set or a call to
291.Xr mac_register 9F
292will fail.

309.Pp
310Note, that devices which implement the GLDv3 ring capabilities must not
311implement the
312.Sy mc_unicst
313and
314.Sy mc_tx
315functions.
316However, the ring capabilities are still private and evolving at this time.
317.Pp
318Generally, a device that implements one of
319.Sy mc_getprop ,
320.Sy mc_setprop ,
321or
322.Sy mc_propinfo
323will want to implement all three endpoints to ensure that the property
324is fully integrated into user land utilities such as
325.Xr dladm 1M .
