raw_input Kernel Service

Purpose

Builds a raw_header structure for a packet and sends both to the raw protocol handler.

Syntax

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/errno.h>

void raw_input (m0, proto, src, dst) struct mbuf * m0; struct sockproto * proto; struct sockaddr * src; struct sockaddr * dst;

Parameters

Item	Description
m0	Specifies the address of an mbuf structure containing input data.
proto	Specifies the protocol definition of data.
src	Identifies the sockaddr structure indicating where data is from.
dst	Identifies the sockaddr structure indicating the destination of the data.

Description

The raw_input kernel service accepts an input packet, builds a raw_header structure (as defined in the /usr/include/net/raw_cb.h file), and passes both on to the raw protocol input handler.

Execution Environment

The raw_input kernel service can be called from either the process or interrupt environment.

Return Values

The raw_input service has no return values.
