Since libdlpi(3DLPI) is layered atop dlpi(7P), the references need to go
in the other order -- i.e., dlpi_open(3DLPI) needs to have explicit
references to the relevant parts of dlpi(7P). As such, the following
revised text has been integrated into the latest development manpages:
DLPI_PASSIVE Enable DLPI passive mode (see DL_PASSIVE_REQ in
dlpi(7P)) on a DLPI link instance. Passive mode
persists until the DLPI handle is closed by
dlpi_close(3DLPI).
DLPI_RAW Enable DLPI raw mode (see DLIOCRAW in dlpi(7P))
on a DLPI link instance. Raw mode persists until the
DLPI handle is closed by dlpi_close(3DLPI).
DLPI_NATIVE Enable DLPI native mode (see DLIOCNATIVE in dlpi(7P))
on a DLPI link instance. Native mode persists until
the DLPI handle is closed by dlpi_close(3DLPI).
The changes to dlpi_send(3DLPI) are in progress.
We really appreciate the feedback.
