mbcl -- message to clist conversion driver

Syntax

mbcl

Description

The mbcl driver is a special serial line driver which controls the processing and buffering of characters for asynchronous serial lines. It is used by PPP and SLIP to transmit and receive IP datagrams over serial lines. The mbcl driver copies the characters to be output from STREAMS message blocks to clist buffers, then outputs characters via the transmit buffer to the device. When the serial line device hardware receives a character, the mbcl driver interrupt function is entered. It transfers characters from the device to a STREAMS message block and puts the message upstream.
