NAME

ng_hole - netgraph discard node type

SYNOPSIS

In sys/types.h In netgraph/ng_hole.h

DESCRIPTION

The hole node type silently discards all data and control messages it receives. This type is used for testing and debugging.

HOOKS

A node accepts any request to connect, regardless of the hook name, as long as the name is unique.

CONTROL MESSAGES

This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
NGM_BPF_GET_STATS
This command takes an ASCII string argument, the hook name, and returns the statistics associated with the hook as a Vt struct ng_hole_hookstat .
NGM_BPF_CLR_STATS
This command takes an ASCII string argument, the hook name, and clears the statistics associated with the hook.
NGM_BPF_GETCLR_STATS
This command is identical to NGM_BPF_GET_STATS except that the statistics are also atomically cleared.

SHUTDOWN

This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.

netgraph(4), ng_echo4, ngctl(8)

HISTORY

The node type was implemented in Fx 4.0 .
