Re: Getting the plain void* through the generic ioctl processing

You have to declare ioctl as the next: #define SIO_SET_MULTICAST_FILTER_IO ('s', 63) And after that in your code mannualy via functions documented in copy(9) and fetch(9) manpages, to access that user space structure, user space pointer will be available for you as third arument in your

Getting the plain void* through the generic ioctl processing

2000-06-28 Thread Wilbert de Graaf
Could anybody advise me on this: For an implementation of IGMPv3, I had to extend the socket api following the draft(s). I had to add two ioctl commands: SIO_GET_MULTICAST_FILTER and SIO_SET_MULTICAST_FILTER. The argument is a structure that has a variable size. FreeBSD uses some macros, and the
