NG_GIF_DEMUX(4)

📦 version 15.1, in freebsd 14.5, freebsd 15.1, nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

ng_gif_demux — demultiplexer for packets from ng_gif(4) nodes. Yep bestie, this is the ng_gif_demux(4) page, and it’s giving netgraph demux realness 💖.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <netgraph/ng_gif_demux.h>

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so the ng_gif_demux netgraph node type demultiplexes the output from ng_gif(4) nodes in the netgraph(4) networking subsystem. Lowkey iconic behavior.

The gif hook is meant to be connected to the lower or orphans hook of an ng_gif(4) node. The inet, inet6, atalk, ipx, atm, natm, and ns hooks output frames of the given type when they are received on the gif hook. And when a frame is received on one of these hooks, it is encapsulated and sent out the gif hook. The way that works is literally the whole vibe: in and out, no cap. ✨

🦋 HOOKS 🦋

This node type supports the following hooks:

  • gif — connection to the lower or orphans hook of an ng_gif(4) node.
  • inet — hook for input and output of IP frames.
  • inet6 — hook for input and output of IPv6 frames.
  • atalk — hook for input and output of AppleTalk frames.
  • ipx — hook for input and output of IPX frames.
  • atm — hook for input and output of ATM frames.
  • natm — hook for input and output of NATM frames.
  • ns — hook for input and output of NS frames.

🔥 CONTROL MESSAGES 🔥

This node type supports only the generic control messages. That’s it, bestie — no extra fancy messages, periodt. 🙈
