+.Dt BRIDGE 4
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm bridge
+.Nd Ethernet bridge interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd pseudo-device bridge 2
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm bridge
+device allows an Ethernet bridge to be created between two or more interfaces.
+The bridges provided by this interface are learning bridges with the ability
+to do IP filtering, see
+.Xr ipf 4 ,
+before packets are forwarded by the bridge.
+.Sh IOCTLS
+A
+.Nm bridge
+interface responds to all of the
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls specific to other interfaces listed in
+.Xr netintro 4 .
+The following
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls are specific to
+.Nm bridge
+devices.
+They are defined in
+.Aq Pa sys/sockio.h .
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width SIOCBRDGIDX
+.It Dv SIOCBRDGIDX
+.Pq Li "struct ifbreq"
+Retrieve a member interface from a bridge by index number (zero based).
+The argument structure is defined as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct ifbreq {
+ char ifbname[IFNAMSIZ]; /* bridge interface */
+ char ifsname[IFNAMSIZ]; /* member interface */
+ u_int32_t index; /* interface index */
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To get a list of interface members, set index to zero, and perform sucessive
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls with increasing values of index. When the call returns ENOENT,
+there are no more interface members.
+.It Dv SIOCBRDGADD
+.Pq Li "struct ifbreq"
+Add the interface named in ifsname to the bridge named in ifbname.
+.It Dv SIOCBRDGDEL
+.Pq Li "struct ifbreq"
+Delete the interface named in ifsname from the bridge named in ifbname.
+.It Dv SIOCBRDGRT
+.Pq Li "struct ifbrtreq"
+Retrieve a list of routes by index number (zero based).
+The argument structure is defined as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct ifbrtreq {
+ char ifbname[IFNAMSIZ]; /* bridge interface */
+ u_int32_t index; /* iteration index */
+ struct ether_addr dst; /* destination addr */
+ char ifsname[IFNAMSIZ]; /* destination ifs */
+ u_int16_t age; /* route age */
+};
+.El
+.Sh ERRORS
+If the
+.Xr ioctl 2
+call fails,
+.Xr errno 2
+is set to one of the following values:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Eq ENOENT
+For an add request, this means that the named interface is not configured
+into the system.
+For delete operation, it means that the named interface is not a member
+of the bridge.
+For an interface list or route list request, it means
+that there is no route or interface that corresponds to the given index
+number.
+.It Bq Eq ENOMEM
+Memory could not be allocated for an interface to be added to the bridge.
+.It Bq Eq EEXIST
+The named interface is already a member of the bridge.
+.It Bq Eq EBUSY
+The named interface is already a member of another bridge.
+.It Bq Eq EINVAL
+The named interface is not an Ethernet interface.
+.It Bq Eq ENETDOWN
+The named interface is not ready for receiving packets.
+.It Bq Eq EPERM
+Super-user privilege is required to add and delete interfaces to and from
+bridges and to set the bridge interface flags.
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr errno 2 ,
+.Xr ioctl 2 ,
+.Xr ipf 4 ,
+.Xr netintro 4 ,
+.Xr brconfig 8
+.Sh AUTHOR
+The
+.Xr brconfig 8
+command and the
+.Xr bridge 4
+kernel interface were written by Jason L. Wright <jason@thought.net> as
+part of an undergraduate indenpendent study
+at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
+.Sh BUGS
+There is currently no loop detection. Care must be taken to make sure
+that loops are not created when a bridge is brought up.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Xr brconfig 8
+command and the
+.Xr bridge 4
+kernel interface first appeared in
+.Ox 2.5 .
