NG_HOLE(4)		     Kernel Interfaces Manual		      NG_HOLE(4)

NAME
     ng_hole -- netgraph discard node type

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <netgraph/ng_hole.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The  hole	node type silently discards all data and control messages it re-
     ceives.  This type is used for testing and debugging.

HOOKS
     A ng_hole 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_HOLE_GET_STATS (getstats)
	  This command takes an ASCII string argument, the hook  name,	and  re-
	  turns   the	statistics   associated   with	the  hook  as  a  struct
	  ng_hole_hookstat.

     NGM_HOLE_CLR_STATS (clrstats)
	  This command takes an ASCII string argument, the hook name, and clears
	  the statistics associated with the hook.

     NGM_HOLE_GETCLR_STATS (getclrstats)
	  This command is identical to NGM_HOLE_GET_STATS, except that the  sta-
	  tistics are also atomically cleared.

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

SEE ALSO
     netgraph(4), ng_echo(4), ngctl(8)

HISTORY
     The ng_hole node type was implemented in FreeBSD 4.0.
