+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Ss Route Entries
+Routing entries describe the routes to be taken by packets in a router.
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fn rt_lookup "struct sockaddr *dst" "struct sockaddr *mask" "u_int tableid"
+Return pointer to routing entry (as a radix_node) corresponding to address
+.Fa dst
+with a mask of
+.Fa mask
+from table
+.Fa tableid .
+.It Fn rtrequest1 "int req" "struct rt_addrinfo *info" "u_int8_t prio" \
+"struct rtentry **ret_nrt" "u_int tableid"
+Perform the action specified in
+.Fa req
+on table
+.Fa tableid .
+.Fa req
+can be any of the following:
+.Bl -tag -width "RTM_RESOLVEXXX" -offset indent
+.It RTM_ADD
+.\" XXX Describe adding an entry.
+.It RTM_RESOLVE
+.\" XXX Describe resolving an entry.
+.It RTM_DELETE
+.\" XXX Describe deleting an entry.
+.El
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa ret_nrt
+is non-NULL, a pointer to the routing entry which satisfied the request is
+placed there.
+If
+.Fa prio
+is 0, a default priority based on the egress interface is used.
+.It Fn rt_setgate "struct rtentry *rt0" "struct sockaddr *dst" \
+"struct sockaddr *gate" "u_int tableid"
+Set the address of the gateway for routes described by
+.Fa rt0
+to
+.Fa gateway .
+If memory must be allocated to hold the gateway address,
+the address for which
+.Fa rt0
+describes routes will be copied from
+.Fa dst .
+.It Fn rtredirect "struct sockaddr *dst" "struct sockaddr *gateway" \
+"struct sockaddr *netmask" "int flags" "struct sockaddr *src" \
+"struct rtentry **rtp" "u_int rdomain"
+Redirect routes to
+.Fa dst
+through
+.Fa gateway ,
+such as in response to an ICMP redirect message.
+.Fa src
+should be the address from which the redirect message was received.
+If
+.Fa rtp
+is not NULL,
+it will be populated by the routing entry corresponding to
+.Fa dst .
+.It Fn rtdeletemsg "struct rtentry *rt" "u_int tableid"
+Delete routing table entry
+.Fa rt
+from table
+.Fa tableid
+and forward a notification message to all
+.Fa AF_ROUTE
+sockets.
+.It Fn rtfree "struct rtentry *rt"
+Release a reference to
+.Fa rt ,
+freeing it if the reference count drops to 0.
+.It Fn RTFREE
+A macro which calls
+.Fn rtfree .
+.El
+.Ss Routing Tables and Domains
+Routing tables contain layer 2 and 3 forwarding information.
+Each address family in use will have its own routing table.
+Routing domains are a way of logically segmenting a router among multiple
+networks and may contain more than one routing table.
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fn rtable_exists "u_int id"
+Return
+.Fa 1
+if table with ID
+.Fa id
+exists,
+.Fa 0
+otherwise.
+.It Fn rtable_add "u_int id"
+Add table with ID of
+.Fa id
+to routing domain
+.Fa 0 .
+.It Fn rtable_l2 "u_int id"
+Get the routing domain of table with ID of
+.Fa id .
+.It Fn rtable_l2set "u_int id" "u_int parent"
+Place table with ID of
+.Fa id
+under the routing domain with ID of
+.Fa parent .
+.El
+.Ss Route Timer Queues
+Route timer queues provide a method of queueing routing-related actions to be
+triggered once per second.
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fn rt_timer_queue_create "u_int timeout"
+Create a timer queue with a timout of
+.Fa timeout
+seconds.
+.It Fn rt_timer_add "struct rtentry *rt" \
+"void (*func)(struct rtentry *, struct rttimer *)" \
+"struct rttimer_queue *queue" "u_int rtableid"
+Schedule
+.Fa func
+to be called on
+.Fa rt
+using the timeout of
+.Fa queue .
+If
+.Fa rt
+already has a call to
+.Fa func
+scheduled on any timer queue, it will be replaced with the new invocation.
+.It Fn rt_timer_queue_change "struct rttimer_queue *rtq" "long timeout"
+Set timeout for
+.Fa rtq
+to
+.Fa timeout
+seconds.
+.It Fn rt_timer_remove_all "struct rtentry *rt"
+Remove all timeouts associated with
+.Fa rt
+from all routing timer queues.
+.El
+.Ss Route Labels
+Route labels are arbitrary data appended to routes and can be acted upon by
+.Xr pf .
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fn rtlabel_name2id "char *name"
+Return numerical ID of routing label named
+.Fa name ,
+creating the label if it does not already exist.
+.It Fn rtlabel_id2name "u_int16_t id"
+Return the string name of routing label with ID
+.Fa id .
+.It Fn rtlabel_id2sa "u_int16_t labelid" "struct sockaddr_rtlabel *sa_rl"
+Populate
+.Fa sa_rl
+with the data from the route label specified by
+.Fa labelid .
+.It Fn rtlabel_unref "u_int16_t id"
+Remove a reference to routing label with ID
+.Fa id ,
+freeing the label if the reference count drops to 0.
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
