## Typedef Documentation

## ◆ netif_igmp_mac_filter_fn

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

Function prototype for netif igmp_mac_filter functions

## ◆ netif_init_fn

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

  netif | The netif to initialize

## ◆ netif_input_fn

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

  p | The received packet, copied into a pbuf
  inp | The netif which received the packet

Returns
  ERR_OK if the packet was handled != ERR_OK is the packet was NOT handled, in this case, the caller has to free the pbuf

## ◆ netif_linkoutput_fn

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

  netif | The netif which shall send a packet
  p | The packet to send (raw ethernet packet)

## ◆ netif_mld_mac_filter_fn

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

Function prototype for netif mld_mac_filter functions

## ◆ netif_output_fn

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

  netif | The netif which shall send a packet
  p | The packet to send (p->payload points to IP header)
  ipaddr | The IP address to which the packet shall be sent

## ◆ netif_output_ip6_fn

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

  netif | The netif which shall send a packet
  p | The packet to send (p->payload points to IP header)
  ipaddr | The IPv6 address to which the packet shall be sent

## ◆ netif_status_callback_fn

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

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

## Enumeration Type Documentation

## ◆ netif_mac_filter_action

enum netif_mac_filter_action

MAC Filter Actions, these are passed to a netif's igmp_mac_filter or mld_mac_filter callback function.

Enumerator
NETIF_DEL_MAC_FILTER | Delete a filter entry
NETIF_ADD_MAC_FILTER | Add a filter entry

## Function Documentation

## ◆ netif_get_ip6_addr_match()

s8_t netif_get_ip6_addr_match | ( | struct netif * | netif,
|  | const ip6_addr_t * | ip6addr
| ) |  |

Checks if a specific local address is present on the netif and returns its index. Depending on its state, it may or may not be assigned to the interface (as per RFC terminology).

The given address may or may not be zoned (i.e., have a zone index other than IP6_NO_ZONE). If the address is zoned, it must have the correct zone for the given netif, or no match will be found.

Parameters

  netif | the netif to check
  ip6addr | the IPv6 address to find

Returns
  >= 0: address found, this is its index -1: address not found on this netif

## ◆ netif_invoke_ext_callback()

void netif_invoke_ext_callback | ( | struct netif * | netif,
|  | netif_nsc_reason_t | reason,
|  | const netif_ext_callback_args_t * | args
| ) |  |

Invoke extended netif status event

Parameters

  netif | netif that is affected by change
  reason | change reason
  args | depends on reason, see reason description

## ◆ netif_poll()

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().

## Variable Documentation

## ◆ netif_default

struct netif* netif_default
| extern

The default network interface.

## ◆ netif_list

struct netif* netif_list
| extern

The list of network interfaces.
