318c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciDescription
328c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci===========
338c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
348c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciThe NET_ADD_IF ioctl system call selects the Packet ID (PID) that
358c2ecf20Sopenharmony_cicontains a TCP/IP traffic, the type of encapsulation to be used (MPE or
368c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciULE) and the interface number for the new interface to be created. When
378c2ecf20Sopenharmony_cithe system call successfully returns, a new virtual network interface is
388c2ecf20Sopenharmony_cicreated.
398c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
408c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciThe struct :c:type:`dvb_net_if`::ifnum field will be
418c2ecf20Sopenharmony_cifilled with the number of the created interface.
