lwIP network interface abstraction

Definition in file netif.c.


Function Documentation

struct netif* netif_add ( struct netif *  netif,
ip_addr_t *  ipaddr,
ip_addr_t *  netmask,
ip_addr_t *  gw,
void *  state,
netif_init_fn  init,
netif_input_fn  input 
) [read]

Add a network interface to the list of lwIP netifs.

Parameters:
netifa pre-allocated netif structure
ipaddrIP address for the new netif
netmasknetwork mask for the new netif
gwdefault gateway IP address for the new netif
stateopaque data passed to the new netif
initcallback function that initializes the interface
inputcallback function that is called to pass ingress packets up in the protocol layer stack.
Returns:
netif, or NULL if failed.

Definition at line 137 of file netif.c.

struct netif* netif_find ( char *  name ) [read]

Find a network interface by searching for its name.

Parameters:
namethe name of the netif (like netif->name) plus concatenated number in ascii representation (e.g. 'en0')

Definition at line 286 of file netif.c.

err_t netif_loop_output ( struct netif *  netif,
struct pbuf *  p,
ip_addr_t *  ipaddr 
)

Send an IP packet to be received on the same netif (loopif-like).

The pbuf is simply copied and handed back to netif->input. In multithreaded mode, this is done directly since netif->input must put the packet on a queue. In callback mode, the packet is put on an internal queue and is fed to netif->input by netif_poll().

Parameters:
netifthe lwip network interface structure
pthe (IP) packet to 'send'
ipaddrthe ip address to send the packet to (not used)
Returns:
ERR_OK if the packet has been sent ERR_MEM if the pbuf used to copy the packet couldn't be allocated

Definition at line 588 of file netif.c.

static err_t netif_loopif_init ( struct netif *  netif ) [static]

Initialize a lwip network interface structure for a loopback interface.

Parameters:
netifthe lwip network interface structure for this loopif
Returns:
ERR_OK if the loopif is initialized ERR_MEM if private data couldn't be allocated

Definition at line 89 of file 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 676 of file netif.c.

void netif_poll_all ( void   )

Calls netif_poll() for every netif on the netif_list.

Definition at line 741 of file netif.c.

void netif_remove ( struct netif *  netif )

Remove a network interface from the list of lwIP netifs.

Parameters:
netifthe network interface to remove

Definition at line 236 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_addr ( struct netif *  netif,
ip_addr_t *  ipaddr,
ip_addr_t *  netmask,
ip_addr_t *  gw 
)

Change IP address configuration for a network interface (including netmask and default gateway).

Parameters:
netifthe network interface to change
ipaddrthe new IP address
netmaskthe new netmask
gwthe new default gateway

Definition at line 222 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_default ( struct netif *  netif )

Set a network interface as the default network interface (used to output all packets for which no specific route is found)

Parameters:
netifthe default network interface

Definition at line 426 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_down ( struct netif *  netif )

Bring an interface down, disabling any traffic processing.

Note:
: Enabling DHCP on a down interface will make it come up once configured.
See also:
dhcp_start()

Definition at line 486 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_gw ( struct netif *  netif,
ip_addr_t *  gw 
)

Change the default gateway for a network interface.

Parameters:
netifthe network interface to change
gwthe new default gateway
Note:
call netif_set_addr() if you also want to change ip address and netmask

Definition at line 384 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_ipaddr ( struct netif *  netif,
ip_addr_t *  ipaddr 
)

Change the IP address of a network interface.

Parameters:
netifthe network interface to change
ipaddrthe new IP address
Note:
call netif_set_addr() if you also want to change netmask and default gateway

Definition at line 319 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_link_callback ( struct netif *  netif,
netif_status_callback_fn  link_callback 
)

Set callback to be called when link is brought up/down.

Definition at line 564 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_link_down ( struct netif *  netif )

Called by a driver when its link goes down.

Definition at line 552 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_link_up ( struct netif *  netif )

Called by a driver when its link goes up.

Definition at line 513 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_netmask ( struct netif *  netif,
ip_addr_t *  netmask 
)

Change the netmask of a network interface.

Parameters:
netifthe network interface to change
netmaskthe new netmask
Note:
call netif_set_addr() if you also want to change ip address and default gateway

Definition at line 405 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_status_callback ( struct netif *  netif,
netif_status_callback_fn  status_callback 
)

Set callback to be called when interface is brought up/down.

Definition at line 502 of file netif.c.

void netif_set_up ( struct netif *  netif )

Bring an interface up, available for processing traffic.

Note:
: Enabling DHCP on a down interface will make it come up once configured.
