/* * ip_input() and ip_output() set this secret value before calling us to * let us know which divert port to divert a packet to; this is done so * we can use the existing prototype for struct protosw's pr_input(). * This is stored in host order. */ u_short ip_divert_port; /* * We set this value to a non-zero port number when we want the call to * ip_fw_chk() in ip_input() or ip_output() to ignore ``divert <port>'' * chain entries. This is stored in host order. */ u_short ip_divert_ignore; Is this an acceptable trick in the FreeBSD kernel, passing parameters with global variables? -Julian <proff@iq.org>
