Routines
An application that uses AppleTalk Manager routines for network communication can communicate with whatever AppleTalk network the user has selected through the Network control panel. However, you can choose to write an application that talks only to the hardware device driver for a particular type of network, such as Ethernet; in this case, your application has to address the hardware driver directly. This section describes the functions that you use to
- attach a protocol handler to the .ENET driver
- detach a protocol handler that you previously attached
- send data directly to a hardware device driver
- read data from the .ENET driver
- cancel a pending call to read data from the .ENET driver
- obtain information about the .ENET driver
- switch the .ENET driver mode
- add a multicast or functional address
- remove a multicast or functional address
