Receives an exchange identification (XID) packet each time it is coded by the kernel user and called by generic data link control (GDLC).
The DLC XID Data Received routine receives an XID packet each time the routine is coded by the kernel user and called by GDLC.
Each GDLC supports a subset of the data-received routines. It is performance critical that the XID Data Received routine be coded to minimize the amount of time spent prior to returning to the GDLC that called it.

DLC_FUNC_OK | Indicates that the received XID mbuf data has been accepted. |
DLC_FUNC_RETRY | Indicates that the received XID mbuf data cannot be accepted at this time. GDLC should retry this function call later. The actual retry wait period depends on the DLC in use. Excessive retries may close the link station. |
