static struct bpf_program prog;
First, initialize prog. Then,
char *name = "ed0";
fd = open("/dev/bpf0", O_RDWR);
if (fd >= 0) {
struct bpf_version ver;
if (ioctl(fd, BIOCVERSION, &ver) == 0) {
if (BPF_MAJOR_VERSION == ver.bv_major && BPF_MINOR_VERSION <= ver.bv_minor) {
unsigned int blen = BPF_BUFFER_SIZE;
if (ioctl(fd, BIOCSBLEN, &blen) == 0) {
struct ifreq ifr;
strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, name, sizeof(ifr.ifr_name));
if (ioctl(fd, BIOCSETIF, &ifr) == 0) {
unsigned int im = 1;
if (ioctl(fd, BIOCIMMEDIATE, &im) == 0) {
if (ioctl(fd, BIOCSETF, prog) == 0) {
err = fd;
}
}
}
}
}
}
if (err < 0)
close(fd);
}
: : :
write(fd, data, length);
Note: data[12] and data[13] (ether type) must be host byte order (NOT
network byte order). I believe this is a bug, though FreeBSD core
team don't think so.
