NAME
iflib - Network Interface Driver Framework
DESCRIPTION
iflib is a framework for writing network interface drivers for FreeBSD.
It is designed to remove a large amount of the boilerplate that is often
needed for modern network interface devices, allowing driver authors to
focus on the specific code needed for their hardware.
There are three logical components to iflib each of which is described in
its own manual page. These are:
iflibdi(9) Device-independent functions, used to integrate iflib into
the rest of the FreeBSD networking stack.
iflibdd(9) Device-dependent functions, used when writing new iflib
based drivers.
iflibtxrx(9)
Device-dependent transmit and receive functions, used when
writing new iflib based drivers.
