.Nd software discard network interface
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device disc"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface is a software discard mechanism which may be
|
|
used for performance analysis and/or software testing.
|
|
As with other network interfaces, the discard interface must have
|
|
network addresses assigned for each address family with which it is to be used.
|
|
These addresses
|
|
may be set or changed with the
|
|
.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface is created at runtime using interface cloning.
|
|
This is
|
|
most easily done with the
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
.Cm create
|
|
command or using the
|
|
.Va cloned_interfaces
|
|
variable in
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5 .
|
|

|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device appears to have been derived from the
|
|
.Xr lo 4
|
|
device around the time of
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
|
|
This manpage was adapted from
|
|
.Xr lo 4
|
|
and first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.0 .
