SYNOPSIS

/usr/include/sys/dlpi_ext.h

DESCRIPTION

<dlpi_ext.h> is the header ﬁle for HP-speciﬁc extensions to data link provider interface, DLPI 2.0

standard. The header ﬁle contains deﬁnitions for primitives, acknowledgements, ioctls and associated

structures to satisfy needs of DLS users over and beyond what is provided by DLPI 2.0 standard.

The header ﬁle must be included by all DLS users (user-space and kernel-space) who intend to interact with

LAN drivers through DLPI.

The manual page dlpi(7) provides an overview of HP-UX’s DLPI. The header ﬁle

<dlpi.h> contains

DLPI requests; see dlpi(4). The

<dlpi_drv.h>

header ﬁle contains deﬁnitions that are required by net-

working device drivers to interact with DLPI; see dlpi_drv(4).
