26.Sh DESCRIPTION
27The
28.Sy mac_callbacks
29structure is used by GLDv3 networking device drivers implementing and
30using the
31.Xr mac 9E
32framework and interfaces.
33.Pp
34The structure is normally allocated statically by drivers as a single
35global entry.
36A pointer to it is passed as the
37.Fa m_callbacks
38member of the
39.Vt mac_register_t
40structure.
41.Sh TYPES
42The following types define the function pointers in use in the
43.Vt mac_register_t .

84The
85.Fa mc_callbacks
86member is used to denote which of a series of optional callbacks are
87present.
88This method allows additional members to be added to the
89.Vt mac_callbacks_t
90structure while maintaining ABI compatibility with existing modules.
91If a member is not mentioned below, then it is a part of the base version
92of the structure and device drivers do not need to set anything to
93indicate that it is present.
94The
95.Fa mc_callbacks
96member should be set to the bitwise inclusive OR of the following
97pre-processor values:
