IRFRAME(4)              NetBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual             IRFRAME(4)


NAME

     irframe -- IrDA frame level driver


SYNOPSIS

     irframe* at oboe?
     irframe* at uirda?
     irframe* at ustir?
     pseudo-device irframetty

     #include <dev/irdaio.h>


DESCRIPTION

     The irframe driver provides support for IrDA frame level transmission.
     It does not contain the IrDA protocol stack per se, but the stack can be
     built on top of the irframe driver.

     Access to frames is via the read(2) and write(2) system calls.  Each
     write constitutes one frame, and each read yields one frame.  The poll(2)
     system call can be used to check for availability of frames.  There are
     also a number of ioctl(2) calls to manipulate the device:

     IRDA_RESET_PARAMS
             Reset the parameters set by IRDA_SET_PARAMS.

     IRDA_SET_PARAMS (struct irda_params)
             Set the speed, extra beginning of frame bytes, and maximum frame
             size.

     IRDA_GET_SPEEDMASK (int)
             Get the set of allowable speeds.

     IRDA_GET_TURNAROUNDMASK (int)
             Get the set of allowable turn around times.
