MACIOC_GETSTAT(7mdi)
MACIOC_GETSTAT --
MDI return statistics ioctl
Description
This ioctl requests that the MDI driver
return media-specific statistics
containing information about the MDI driver,
the network adapter and the network itself.
MDI includes a statistics mechanism
that uses media-specific statistics structures:
mac_stats_eth(D4mdi)-
Ethernet
mac_stats_tr(D4mdi)-
IEEE 802.5 token passing ring
mac_stats_fddi(D4mdi)-
ANSI Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
mac_stats_isdn(D4mdi)-
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)
This replaces the mechanism based on the
ifstats(D4)
structure to provide information to the
netstat(1Mtcp)
command.
Parameters
The ioctl data contains space
into which the MDI driver
should copy its statistics structure.
Data returned
The MDI driver should fill
the ioctl data area with the its
statistics structure.
