Adapter Objects

Adapter Objects
Adapter objects are not constructed by the programmer. Instead, every session contains a
fixed list of adapter objects managed by the HP-UX IPQoS API based on the list of network
adapters that have been configured on the system.
Adapter-related functions in the HP-UX IPQoS API allow programmers to access (“get”)
values of its attributes, traverse the list of adapters, and traverse the list of policies of an
adapter.
Table 2-3 lists the attributes associated with adapter objects.
NOTE In this release, the link type will always be DL_ETHER.
