NET_ADD_IF — Creates a new network interface for a given Packet ID.
int ioctl( | int fd, |
| int request, | |
struct dvb_net_if *net_if); |
The NET_ADD_IF ioctl system call selects the Packet ID (PID) that contains a TCP/IP traffic, the type of encapsulation to be used (MPE or ULE) and the interface number for the new interface to be created. When the system call successfully returns, a new virtual network interface is created.
The struct dvb_net_if::ifnum field will be filled with the number of the created interface.
RETURN VALUE
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the errno variable is set appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the Generic Error Codes chapter.
