NAME
Broadcast -- Broadcast a packet on network.
FUNCTION
This command works the same as CMD_WRITE except that it also performs
whatever special processing of the packet is required to do a
broadcast send. The actual broadcast mechanism is neccessarily
network/interface/device specific.
IO REQUEST
ios2_Command - S2_BROADCAST.
ios2_Flags - Supported flags are:
SANA2IOB_RAW
SANA2IOB_QUICK
ios2_PacketType - Packet type to send.
ios2_DataLength - Length of the Data to be sent.
ios2_Data - Abstract data structure which packet data is
contained in.
RESULTS
ios2_DstAddr - The contents of this field are to be
considered trash upon return of the IOReq.
ios2_Error - Zero if successful; non-zero otherwise.
This command can fail for many reasons and
is not supported by all networks and/or
network interfaces.
ios2_WireError - More specific error number.
NOTES
The DstAddr field may be trashed by the driver because this function
may be implemented by filling DstAddr with a broadcast address and
internally calling CMD_WRITE.
