.Sh DESCRIPTION
The BPF kernel API provides functions for evaluating BPF instructions
against packets, and incoming linkage from device drivers.
A packet is parsed by the filters associated with each interface
and, if accepted, stashed into the corresponding buffer.
.Pp
.Fn bpf_filter
executes the BPF program referenced by
.Fa pc
against the packet buffer starting at
.Fa pkt
of
.Fa pktlen
bytes in length.
.Fa wirelen
is the length of the original packet on the wire.
.Pp
.Fn bpf_mfilter
executes the BPF program referenced by
.Fa pc
against the packet in the mbuf
.Fa m .
.Fa wirelen
is the length of the original packet on the wire.
.Pp
.Fn bfp_tap
runs the filters on the BPF interface referenced by
.Fa bpf
in the direction
.Fa direction
against the packet in the
.Fa pkt
buffer.
.Pp
.Fn bfp_mtap
runs the filters on the BPF interface referenced by
.Fa bpf
in the direction
.Fa direction
against the packet in mbuf chain
.Fa m .
.Pp
.Fn bfp_mtap_hdr
runs the filters on the BPF interface referenced by
.Fa bpf
in the direction
.Fa direction
against the packet in mbuf chain
.Fa m .
The header referenced by
.Fa hdr
will be prefixed to the packet during filter evaluation.
A custom packet copy function may be provided via
.Fa cpfn .
If
.Fa cpfn
is
.Dv NULL
an internal function for copying mbuf payloads will be used.
.Pp
.Fn bpf_mtap_af
runs the filters on the BPF interface referenced by
.Fa bpf
in the direction
.Fa direction
against the packet in mbuf chain
.Fa m .
The address family specified by
.Fa af
will be prepended to the packet before matching occurs.
.Pp
.Fn bpf_mtap_ether
runs the filters on the BPF interface referenced by
.Fa bpf
in the direction
.Fa direction
against an Ethernet packet in the mbuf
.Fa m .
If the mbuf is flagged with
.Dv M_VLANTAG
an Ethernet VLAN header is constructed using
m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag
and
m->m_pkthdr.pf.prio
before matching occurs.
.Sh CONTEXT
.Fn bpf_filter ,
and
.Fn bpf_mfilter
can be called from process context, or from an interrupt context.
.Pp
.Fn bpf_mtap ,
.Fn bpf_tap ,
.Fn bpf_mtap ,
.Fn bpf_mtap_hdr ,
.Fn bpf_mtap_af ,
and
.Fn bpf_mtap_ether
can be called from process context, or from an interrupt context at or below
.Dv IPL_NET .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn bpf_filter ,
and 
.Fn bpf_mfilter
return -1 (cast to an unsigned integer) if the filter program is
.Dv NULL,
or the result of the filter program.
Filter programs should return the maximum number of bytes of the
packet to capture, or 0 if the packet does not match the filter
program.
.Pp
.Fn bpf_tap ,
.Fn bpf_mtap ,
.Fn bpf_mtap_hdr ,
.Fn bpf_mtap_af ,
and
.Fn bpf_mtap_ether
return 1 if the packet matched a filter that indicates the packet
should be dropped, otherwise 0.
