NG_GIF_DEMUX(4)

💖 NG_GIF_DEMUX 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for ng_gif_demux — a kernel interfaces situation, section 4 of the manual, and yes she's serving netgraph realness 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ng_gif_demux — the demultiplexer for packets from ng_gif(4) nodes 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <netgraph/ng_gif_demux.h>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. the ng_gif_demux netgraph node type demultiplexes the output from ng_gif(4) nodes, inside the netgraph(4) networking subsystem. she's the group chat admin of packets fr fr 💜

the gif hook is meant to be connected to the lower or orphans hook of an ng_gif(4) node. periodt.

the inet, inet6, atalk, ipx, atm, natm, and ns hooks output frames of the given type when they are received on the gif hook. when a frame is received on one of these hooks, it is encapsulated and sent out the gif hook. it's giving ✨ bidirectional icon behaviour ✨

🫶 HOOKS 🫶

this node type supports the following hooks, bestie — every single one of them, no skipping 💖

• gif — connection to the lower or orphans hook of an ng_gif(4) node. this is her main character connection 🔥
• 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. retro vibes 🍓
• 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 🌈

ngl this node type is lowkey low-maintenance: it supports only the generic control messages. that's it, that's the whole menu 🎀
