p There are three logical components to .Nm each of which is described in its own manual page. These are: l -tag -width ".Xr iflibtxrx 9" t Xr iflibdi 9 Device-independent functions, used to integrate .Nm into the rest of the .Fx networking stack. t Xr iflibdd 9 Device-dependent functions, used when writing new .Nm based drivers. t Xr iflibtxrx 9 Device-dependent transmit and receive functions, used when writing new .Nm based drivers. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr iflib 4 , .Xr iflibdd 9 , .Xr iflibdi 9 , .Xr iflibtxrx 9 , .Xr ifnet 9 .Sh AUTHORS .An Benno Rice Aq Mt benno@FreeBSD.org
