NAME

ng_UI – UI netgraph node type

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS

#include <netgraph/ng_UI.h>

DESCRIPTION

The UI node type has two hooks, upstream and downstream. Packets received on downstream must have 0x03 (indicating unnumbered information) as their first byte; if not the packet is dropped. This byte is then stripped and the remainder of the packet sent out on upstream.

Conversely, packets received on upstream will have a 0x03 byte prepended to them before being forwarded out on the downstream hook.

HOOKS

This node type supports the following hooks:
downstream
  Downstream connection. Packets on this side of the node have a 0x03 as their first byte.
upstream
  Upstream connection. Packets on this side of the node have the initial 0x03 byte stripped off.

CONTROL MESSAGES

This node type supports only the generic control messages.

SHUTDOWN

This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when both hooks have been disconnected.

SEE ALSO

netgraph(4), ngctl(8)

HISTORY

The ng_UI node type was implemented in FreeBSD 4.0 .

“ Our grievance is not just against Unix itself, but against the cult of Unix zealots who defend and nurture it. They take the heat, disease, and pestilence as givens, and, as ancient shamans did, display their wounds, some self-inflicted, as proof of their power and wizardry. We aim, through bluntness and humor, to show them that they pray to a tin god, and that science, not religion, is the path to useful and friendly technology. ”
