You can use several procedures, as well as the data link control (DLC) reference information, to manage DLC.
The following sections list available DLC reference information:
For more information on DLC reference items, see AIX Version 4.3 Technical Reference.
dlcclose | Closes a generic data link control (GDLC) channel. |
dlcconfig | Issues specific commands to GDLC. |
dlcioctl | Issues specific commands to GDLC. |
dlcmpx | Decodes the device handler's special file name appended to the opened call. |
dlcopen | Opens a GDLC channel. |
dlcread | Reads receive data from GDLC. |
dlcselect | Selects for asynchronous criteria from GDLC, such as receive data completion and exception conditions. |
dlcwrite | Writes transmit data to GDLC. |
fp_close | Allows kernel to close the GDLC device manager using a file pointer. |
fp_ioctl | Transfers special commands from the kernel to GDLC. |
fp_open | Allows kernel to open the GDLC device manager by its device name. |
fp_write | Allows kernel data to be sent using a file pointer. |
