WvInterface Class Reference

#include <wvinterface.h>

List of all members.


Detailed Description

A WvInterface manages a particular network interface.

It is _allowed_ to have more than one WvInterface instance referring to the same physical interface, because that is more convenient.

Member Function Documentation

int WvInterface::setflags int  clear,
int  set
 

toggle kernel flags on this netdevice.

Be careful!

int WvInterface::setipaddr const WvIPNet addr  ) 
 

Sets the local address, netmask, and broadcast of this interface and set a route to the local net.

Returns 0 on success, else an error code.

int WvInterface::setmtu int  mtu  ) 
 

Sets the MTU of the interface.

Returns 0 on success, else an error code.

int WvInterface::sethwaddr const WvAddr addr  ) 
 

Set the hardware address of this interface.

Returns 0 on success, else an error code.
