                      The argument structure is as follows:

                            struct ifbcachereq {
                                    char ifbc_name[IFNAMSIZ]; /* bridge */
                                    u_int32_t ifbc_size;      /* size */
                            };

     SIOCBRDGGCACHE   (struct ifbcachereq) Retrieve the maximum size of the
                      address cache for the bridge ifbc_name.

     SIOCBRDGSTO      (struct ifbcachetoreq) Set the time, in seconds, that
                      addresses which have not been seen on the network
                      (transmitted a packet) remain in the cache.  If the time
                      is set to zero, no aging is performed on the address
                      cache.  The argument structure is as follows:

                            struct ifbcachetoreq {
                                    char ifbct_name[IFNAMSIZ]; /* bridge */
                                    u_int32_t ifbct_time;      /* time */
                            };

     SIOCBRDGGTO      (struct ifbcachetoreq) Retrieve the address cache expi
                      ration time (see above).

     SIOCBRDGFLUSH    (struct ifbreq) Flush addresses from the cache.
                      ifbr_name contains the name of the bridge device, and
                      ifbr_ifsflags should be set to IFBF_FLUSHALL to flush
                      all addresses from the cache or IFBF_FLUSHDYN to flush
                      only the dynamically learned addresses from the cache.

     SIOCBRDGARL      (struct ifbrlreq) Add a filtering rule to the bridge
                      named in ifbr_name on the interface named in
                      ifbr_ifsname. The argument structure is as follows:

                            struct ifbrlreq {
                                    char ifbr_name[IFNAMSIZ];    /* bridge */
                                    char ifbr_ifsname[IFNAMSIZ]; /* ifs */
                                    u_int8_t ifbr_action;        /* handling */
                                    u_int8_t ifbr_flags;         /* flags */
                                    struct ether_addr ifbr_src;  /* src mac */
                                    struct ether_addr ifbr_dst;  /* dst mac */
                            };
                            #define BRL_ACTION_BLOCK        0x01
                            #define BRL_ACTION_PASS         0x02
                            #define BRL_FLAG_IN             0x08
                            #define BRL_FLAG_OUT            0x04
                            #define BRL_FLAG_SRCVALID       0x02
                            #define BRL_FLAG_DSTVALID       0x01

                      Rules are applied in the order in which they were added
                      to the bridge, and the first matching rule's action pa
                      rameter determines the fate of the packet.  The
                      ifbr_action parameter specifies whether a frame matching
                      the rule is to be blocked or passed.

                      If the BRL_FLAG_IN bit is set in ifbr_flags, then the
                      rule applies to frames received by the interface.  If
                      the BRL_FLAG_OUT bit is set, then the rule applies to
                      frame transmitted by the interface.  At least one of
                      BRL_FLAG_IN or BRL_FLAG_OUT must be set.

                      The source ethernet address in ifbr_src is checked if
                      the BRL_FLAG_SRCVALID bit is set in ifbr_flags. The des
                      tination address in ifbr_dst is check if the
                      BRL_FLAG_DSTVALID bit is set.  If neither bit is set,
                      the rule is matches all frames.

     SIOCBRDGFRL      (struct ifbrlreq) Remove all filtering rules from a
                      bridge interface member.  ifbr_name contains the name of
                      the bridge device, and ifbr_ifsname contains the name of
                      the bridge member interface.

     SIOCBRDGGRL      (struct ifbrlconf) Retrieve all of the rules from the
                      bridge, ifbrl_name, for the member interface,
                      ifbrl_ifsname.

                      This request takes an ifbrlconf structure (see below) as
                      a value result parameter.  The ifbrl_len field should be
                      initially set to the size of the buffer pointed to by
                      ifbrl_buf. On return, it will contain the length, in
                      bytes, of the configuration list.  Alternatively, if the
                      ifbrl_len passed in is set to 0, SIOCBRDGGRL will set it
                      to the size that ifbrl_buf needs to be to fit the entire
                      configuration list and not fill in the other parameters.
                      As with SIOCBRDGIFS, this is useful for determining the
                      exact size that ifbrl_buf needs to be in advance.

                      The argument structure is defined as follows:

                            struct ifbrlconf {
                                    char ifbrl_name[IFNAMSIZ];   /* brdg nam */
                                    char ifbrl_ifsname[IFNAMSIZ];/* ifs name */
                                    u_int32_t ifbr_len;         /* buf len */
                                    union {
                                            caddr_t ifbrlu_buf;
                                            struct ifbrlreq *ifbrlu_req;
                                    } ifrl_ifbrlu;
                            #define ifbrl_buf ifbrl_ifbrlu.ifbrlu_buf
                            #define ifbrl_req ifbrl_ifbrlu.ifbrlu_req
                            };


ERRORS
     If the ioctl(2) call fails, errno(2) is set to one of the following val
     ues:

     [ENOENT]      For an add request, this means that the named interface is
                   not configured into the system.  For delete operation, it
                   means that the named interface is not a member of the
                   bridge.  For a address cache deletion, the address was not
                   found in the table.

     [ENOMEM]      Memory could not be allocated for an interface or cache en
                   try to be added to the bridge.

     [EEXIST]      The named interface is already a member of the bridge.

     [EBUSY]       The named interface is already a member of another bridge.

     [EINVAL]      The named interface is not an Ethernet interface or an in
                   valid ioctl was performed on the bridge.

     [ENETDOWN]    Address cache operation (flush, add, delete) on a bridge
                   that is in the down state.

     [EPERM]       Super-user privilege is required to add and delete inter
                   faces to and from bridges and to set the bridge interface
                   flags.

     [EFAULT]      The buffer used in a SIOCBRDGIFS or SIOCBRDGRTS request

                   points outside of the process's allocated address space.

     [ESRCH]       No such member interface in the bridge.

HISTORY
     The brconfig(8) command and the bridge(4) kernel interface first appeared
     in

AUTHOR
     The brconfig(8) command and the bridge(4) kernel interface were written
     by Jason L. Wright <[e-mail]> as part of an undergraduate inde
     pendent study at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

BUGS
     There is currently no loop detection.  Care must be taken to make sure
     that loops are not created when a bridge is brought up.

     Only ipf(4) input rules are checked with incoming packet; there is no
     easy way to handle output rules.
