Typedef Documentation

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_ARP_ADD)(IN EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL *This, IN BOOLEAN DenyFlag, IN VOID *TargetSwAddress, IN VOID *TargetHwAddress, IN UINT32 TimeoutValue, IN BOOLEAN Overwrite)

This function is used to insert entries into the ARP cache.

ARP cache entries are typically inserted and updated by network protocol drivers as network traffic is processed. Most ARP cache entries will time out and be deleted if the network traffic stops. ARP cache entries that were inserted by the Add() function may be static (will not time out) or dynamic (will time out). Default ARP cache timeout values are not covered in most network protocol specifications (although RFC 1122 comes pretty close) and will only be discussed in general terms in this specification. The timeout values that are used in the EFI Sample Implementation should be used only as a guideline. Final product implementations of the EFI network stack should be tuned for their expected network environments.

Parameters:
This Pointer to the EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL instance.
DenyFlag Set to TRUE if this entry is a deny entry. Set to FALSE if this entry is a normal entry.
TargetSwAddress Pointer to a protocol address to add (or deny). May be set to NULL if DenyFlag is TRUE.
TargetHwAddress Pointer to a hardware address to add (or deny). May be set to NULL if DenyFlag is TRUE.
TimeoutValue Time in 100-ns units that this entry will remain in the ARP cache. A value of zero means that the entry is permanent. A nonzero value will override the one given by Configure() if the entry to be added is a dynamic entry.
Overwrite If TRUE, the matching cache entry will be overwritten with the supplied parameters. If FALSE, EFI_ACCESS_DENIED is returned if the corresponding cache entry already exists.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The entry has been added or updated.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: This is NULL. DenyFlag is FALSE and TargetHwAddress is NULL. DenyFlag is FALSE and TargetSwAddress is NULL. TargetHwAddress is NULL and TargetSwAddress is NULL. Neither TargetSwAddress nor TargetHwAddress are NULL when DenyFlag is TRUE.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES The new ARP cache entry could not be allocated.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED The ARP cache entry already exists and Overwrite is not true.
EFI_NOT_STARTED The ARP driver instance has not been configured.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_ARP_CANCEL)(IN EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL *This, IN VOID *TargetSwAddress, IN EFI_EVENT ResolvedEvent)

This function aborts the previous ARP request (identified by This, TargetSwAddress and ResolvedEvent) that is issued by EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL.Request().

If the request is in the internal ARP request queue, the request is aborted immediately and its ResolvedEvent is signaled. Only an asynchronous address request needs to be canceled. If TargeSwAddress and ResolveEvent are both NULL, all the pending asynchronous requests that have been issued by This instance will be cancelled and their corresponding events will be signaled.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL instance.
TargetSwAddress The pointer to the protocol address in previous request session.
ResolvedEvent Pointer to the event that is used as the notification event in previous request session.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The pending request session(s) is/are aborted and corresponding event(s) is/are signaled.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: This is NULL. TargetSwAddress is not NULL and ResolvedEvent is NULL. TargetSwAddress is NULL and ResolvedEvent is not NULL.
EFI_NOT_STARTED The ARP driver instance has not been configured.
EFI_NOT_FOUND The request is not issued by EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL.Request().

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_ARP_CONFIGURE)(IN EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL *This, IN EFI_ARP_CONFIG_DATA *ConfigData)

This function is used to assign a station address to the ARP cache for this instance of the ARP driver.

Each ARP instance has one station address. The EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL driver will respond to ARP requests that match this registered station address. A call to this function with the ConfigData field set to NULL will reset this ARP instance.

Once a protocol type and station address have been assigned to this ARP instance, all the following ARP functions will use this information. Attempting to change the protocol type or station address to a configured ARP instance will result in errors.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL instance.
ConfigData The pointer to the EFI_ARP_CONFIG_DATA structure.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The new station address was successfully registered.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: This is NULL. SwAddressLength is zero when ConfigData is not NULL. StationAddress is NULL when ConfigData is not NULL.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED The SwAddressType, SwAddressLength, or StationAddress is different from the one that is already registered.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES Storage for the new StationAddress could not be allocated.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_ARP_DELETE)(IN EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL *This, IN BOOLEAN BySwAddress, IN VOID *AddressBuffer)

This function removes specified ARP cache entries.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL instance.
BySwAddress Set to TRUE to delete matching protocol addresses. Set to FALSE to delete matching hardware addresses.
AddressBuffer The pointer to the address buffer that is used as a key to look for the cache entry. Set to NULL to delete all entries.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The entry was removed from the ARP cache.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER This is NULL.
EFI_NOT_FOUND The specified deletion key was not found.
EFI_NOT_STARTED The ARP driver instance has not been configured.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_ARP_FIND)(IN EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL *This, IN BOOLEAN BySwAddress, IN VOID *AddressBuffer, OUT UINT32 *EntryLength, OUT UINT32 *EntryCount, OUT EFI_ARP_FIND_DATA **Entries, IN BOOLEAN Refresh)

This function searches the ARP cache for matching entries and allocates a buffer into which those entries are copied.

The first part of the allocated buffer is EFI_ARP_FIND_DATA, following which are protocol address pairs and hardware address pairs. When finding a specific protocol address (BySwAddress is TRUE and AddressBuffer is not NULL), the ARP cache timeout for the found entry is reset if Refresh is set to TRUE. If the found ARP cache entry is a permanent entry, it is not affected by Refresh.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL instance.
BySwAddress Set to TRUE to look for matching software protocol addresses. Set to FALSE to look for matching hardware protocol addresses.
AddressBuffer The pointer to the address buffer. Set to NULL to match all addresses.
EntryLength The size of an entry in the entries buffer.
EntryCount The number of ARP cache entries that are found by the specified criteria.
Entries The pointer to the buffer that will receive the ARP cache entries.
Refresh Set to TRUE to refresh the timeout value of the matching ARP cache entry.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The requested ARP cache entries were copied into the buffer.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: This is NULL. Both EntryCount and EntryLength are NULL, when Refresh is FALSE.
EFI_NOT_FOUND No matching entries were found.
EFI_NOT_STARTED The ARP driver instance has not been configured.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_ARP_FLUSH)(IN EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL *This)

This function delete all dynamic entries from the ARP cache that match the specified software protocol type.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL instance.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The cache has been flushed.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER This is NULL.
EFI_NOT_FOUND There are no matching dynamic cache entries.
EFI_NOT_STARTED The ARP driver instance has not been configured.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_ARP_REQUEST)(IN EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL *This, IN VOID *TargetSwAddress, IN EFI_EVENT ResolvedEvent, OUT VOID *TargetHwAddress)

This function tries to resolve the TargetSwAddress and optionally returns a TargetHwAddress if it already exists in the ARP cache.

Parameters:
This The pointer to the EFI_ARP_PROTOCOL instance.
TargetSwAddress The pointer to the protocol address to resolve.
ResolvedEvent The pointer to the event that will be signaled when the address is resolved or some error occurs.
TargetHwAddress The pointer to the buffer for the resolved hardware address in network byte order.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The data is copied from the ARP cache into the TargetHwAddress buffer.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: This is NULL. TargetHwAddress is NULL.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED The requested address is not present in the normal ARP cache but is present in the deny address list. Outgoing traffic to that address is forbidden.
EFI_NOT_STARTED The ARP driver instance has not been configured.
EFI_NOT_READY The request has been started and is not finished.
