70These hooks may be used to implement a firewall or perform packet

72.Pp
73Packet filtering points are registered with
74.Fn pfil_head_register .
74Filtering points are identified by a key (void *) and a data link type
75(int) in the
76.Em pfil_head
75Filtering points are identified by a key
76.Pq Vt "void *"
77and a data link type
78.Pq Vt int
79in the
80.Vt pfil_head
77structure.
78Packet filters use the key and data link type to look up the filtering
79point with which they register themselves.
80The key is unique to the filtering point.
81The data link type is a
82.Xr bpf 4
83DLT constant indicating what kind of header is present on the packet
84at the filtering point.

99Filters may provide an argument to be passed to the filter when
100invoked on a packet.
101.Pp
102When a filter is invoked, the packet appears just as if it
103.Dq came off the wire .
104That is, all protocol fields are in network byte order.
105The filter is called with its specified argument, the pointer to the
81structure.

106When a filter is invoked, the packet appears just as if it

108That is, all protocol fields are in network byte order.
109The filter is called with its specified argument, the pointer to the
106pointer to the mbuf containing the packet, the pointer to the network
107interface that the packet is traversing, and the direction (PFIL_IN
108or PFIL_OUT) that the packet is traveling.
109The filter may change which mbuf the mbuf ** argument references.
110The filter returns an errno if the packet processing is to stop, or 0
110pointer to the
111.Vt mbuf
112containing the packet, the pointer to the network
113interface that the packet is traversing, and the direction

117that the packet is traveling.
118The filter may change which mbuf the
119.Vt "mbuf\ **"
120argument references.
121The filter returns an error (errno) if the packet processing is to stop, or 0
111if the processing is to continue.
112If the packet processing is to stop, it is the responsibility of the
113filter to free the packet.
