dlpi_promiscon(3Data)Link Provider Interface Library Funcdlpi_promiscon(3DLPI)NAME
dlpi_promiscon, dlpi_promiscoff - enable or disable DLPI promiscuous
mode
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -ldlpi [ library... ]
#include <libdlpi.h>
int dlpi_promiscon(dlpi_handle_t dh, uint_t level);
int dlpi_promiscoff(dlpi_handle_t dh, uint_t level);
DESCRIPTION
The dlpi_promiscon() function enables promiscuous mode on a DLPI link
instance associated with DLPI handle dh, at the specified level. After
enabling promiscuous mode, the caller will be able to receive all mes‐
sages destined for the DLPI link instance at the specified level. This
operation can be performed in any DLPI state of a handle.
The dlpi_promiscoff() function disables promiscuous mode on a DLPI link
instance associated with DLPI handle dh, at the specified level. This
operation can be performed in any DLPI state of a handle in which pro‐
miscuous mode is enabled at the specified level.
The level modes are:
DL_PROMISC_PHYS Promiscuous mode at the physical level
DL_PROMISC_SAP Promiscuous mode at the SAP level
DL_PROMISC_MULTI Promiscuous mode for all multicast addresses
RETURN VALUES
Upon success, DLPI_SUCCESS is returned. If DL_SYSERR is returned,
errno contains the specific UNIX system error value. Otherwise, a DLPI
error value defined in <sys/dlpi.h> or an error value listed in the
following section is returned.
ERRORS
DLPI_EBADMSG Bad DLPI message
DLPI_EINHANDLE Invalid DLPI handle
DLPI_EINVAL Invalid argument
DLPI_ETIMEDOUT DLPI operation timed out
