Typedef Documentation

typedef err_t(* netif_igmp_mac_filter_fn)(struct netif *netif, const ip4_addr_t *group, u8_t action)

Function prototype for netif igmp_mac_filter functions.

Definition at line 185 of file netif.h.

typedef err_t(* netif_init_fn)(struct netif *netif)

Function prototype for netif init functions.

Set up flags and output/linkoutput callback functions in this function.

Parameters:
netifThe netif to initialize

Definition at line 139 of file netif.h.

typedef err_t(* netif_input_fn)(struct pbuf *p, struct netif *inp)

Function prototype for netif->input functions.

This function is saved as 'input' callback function in the netif struct. Call it when a packet has been received.

Parameters:
pThe received packet, copied into a pbuf
inpThe netif which received the packet

Definition at line 146 of file netif.h.

typedef err_t(* netif_linkoutput_fn)(struct netif *netif, struct pbuf *p)

Function prototype for netif->linkoutput functions.

Only used for ethernet netifs. This function is called by ARP when a packet shall be sent.

Parameters:
netifThe netif which shall send a packet
pThe packet to send (raw ethernet packet)

Definition at line 180 of file netif.h.

typedef err_t(* netif_mld_mac_filter_fn)(struct netif *netif, const ip6_addr_t *group, u8_t action)

Function prototype for netif mld_mac_filter functions.

Definition at line 190 of file netif.h.

typedef err_t(* netif_output_fn)(struct netif *netif, struct pbuf *p, const ip4_addr_t *ipaddr)

Function prototype for netif->output functions.

Called by lwIP when a packet shall be sent. For ethernet netif, set this to 'etharp_output' and set 'linkoutput'.

Parameters:
netifThe netif which shall send a packet
pThe packet to send (p->payload points to IP header)
ipaddrThe IP address to which the packet shall be sent

Definition at line 157 of file netif.h.

typedef err_t(* netif_output_ip6_fn)(struct netif *netif, struct pbuf *p, const ip6_addr_t *ipaddr)

Function prototype for netif->output_ip6 functions.

Called by lwIP when a packet shall be sent. For ethernet netif, set this to 'ethip6_output' and set 'linkoutput'.

Parameters:
netifThe netif which shall send a packet
pThe packet to send (p->payload points to IP header)
ipaddrThe IPv6 address to which the packet shall be sent

Definition at line 170 of file netif.h.

typedef void(* netif_status_callback_fn)(struct netif *netif)

Function prototype for netif status- or link-callback functions.

Definition at line 182 of file netif.h.


Function Documentation

s8_t netif_get_ip6_addr_match ( struct netif netif,
const ip6_addr_t ip6addr 
)

Checks if a specific address is assigned to the netif and returns its index.

Parameters:
netifthe netif to check
ip6addrthe IPv6 address to find
Returns:
>= 0: address found, this is its index -1: address not found on this netif

Definition at line 1036 of file lwip_netif.c.

void netif_poll ( struct netif netif )

Call netif_poll() in the main loop of your application.

This is to prevent reentering non-reentrant functions like tcp_input(). Packets passed to netif_loop_output() are put on a list that is passed to netif->input() by netif_poll().

Definition at line 865 of file lwip_netif.c.

void netif_poll_all ( void   )

Calls netif_poll() for every netif on the netif_list.

Definition at line 936 of file lwip_netif.c.


Variable Documentation

The default network interface.

Definition at line 91 of file lwip_netif.c.

struct netif* netif_list

The list of network interfaces.
