| To . . . | Use this system call . . . |
|---|---|
| Initialization and configuration | |
| Initialize an Ethernet interface | hpeOpen |
| Similar to hpeOpen; specify additional options | hpeOpenWithOptions |
| Close an Ethernet interface indicated by the handle parameter | hpeClose |
| Obtain information about the hardware interface | hpeGetInterfaceInfo |
| Configure options for the Ethernet controller, such as multicast packet reception | hpeConfigOptions |
| Obtain a list of queue features supported by the hardware interface | hpeGetQueueConfiguration |
| Report the interface's 6-byte MAC address | hpeGetMacAddress |
| Report the current status of the media interface of the Ethernet controller | hpeGetMediaStatus |
| Obtain statistics from a queue | hpeGetQueueStats |
| Receive | |
| Allocate a receive buffer set which is compatible with the network device | hpeAllocateReceiveBufferSet |
| Attaches a set of receive buffers to a queue for use by the DMA engine to receive Ethernet frames. | hpeAttachReceiveBufferSetToQueue |
| Attach a set of receive buffers to queue 0 for use by the DMA engine to receive Ethernet frames. | hpeAttachReceiveBufferSet |
| Free memory allocated by hpeAllocateReceiveBufferSet | hpeFreeReceiveBufferSet |
| Return a pointer to the next receive buffer in the default receive queue which has a fully-received frame in it | hpeGetReceiveBuffer |
| Return a pointer to the next receive buffer in the designated queue which has a fully-received frame in it. | hpeGetReceiveQueueBuffer |
| Returns the receive buffer obtained by hpeGetReceiveBuffer to the network device on queue 0. | hpeReturnReceiveBuffer |
| Returns the receive buffer obtained by hpeGetReceiveBuffer to the network device on the designated queue. | hpeReturnReceiveQueueBuffer |
| Determine the queue to receive packets that are not matched by a filter. | hpeSetDefaultReceiveQueue |

| Transmit | |
| Attach a set of transmit buffers to the driver on queue 0. | hpeAttachTransmitBufferSet |
| Attach a set of transmit buffers to the driver on designated queue. | hpeAttachTransmitBufferSetToQueue |
| Return a value indicating the current state of the transmitter of queue 0. | hpeGetTransmitterState |
| Return a value indicating the current state of the transmitter of the designated queue. | hpeGetTransmitQueueState |
| Set the time to subtract from the launch time to begin packet fetch. | hpeSetTransmitFetchDelta |
| Set the type of a transmit queue. | hpeSetTransmitQueueAttributes |
| Set the global offset to be added to the launch time. | hpeSetTransmitTimeOffset |
| Set the priority of a transmit queue. | hpeSetTransmitQueuePriority |
| Cause the transmitter to transmit any and all frames which are ready to be sent from queue 0. | hpeStartTransmitter |
| Cause the transmitter to transmit any and all frames which are ready to be sent from designated queue. | hpeStartTransmitterQueue |
| Instruct the caller to sleep until the next transmit interrupt occurs for queue 0. | hpeWaitForTransmitComplete |
| Instruct the caller to sleep until the next transmit interrupt occurs for the designated queue. | hpeWaitForTransmitQueueComplete |
| Timers and IEEE 1588 Time Support | |
| Signal a semaphore when a target time is reached. | hpeSetTargetTimer |
