+.Dt DOMAIN 9
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm domain ,
+.Nm protosw
+.Nd "programming interface for kernel socket implementation"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.In sys/kernel.h
+.In sys/protosw.h
+.In sys/domain.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn domain_add "struct domain *dom"
+.Ft void
+.Fn domain_remove "struct domain *dom"
+.Ft void
+.Fn DOMAIN_SET "domain"
+.Ft int
+.Fn protosw_register "struct domain *dom" "struct protosw *pr"
+.Ft int
+.Fn protosw_unregister "struct protosw *pr"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+subsystem allows implementation of communication protocols that are exposed to
+the userland via the
+.Xr socket 2
+API.
+When an application performs a
+.Fn socket "domain" "type" "protocol"
+syscall, the kernel searches for a
+.Nm
+matching the
+.Ar domain
+argument, then within this domain, searches for a protocol
+matching
+.Ar type .
+If the third argument,
+.Ar protocol ,
+is not
+.Dv 0 ,
+that value must also match.
+The structure found must implement certain methods, so that
+.Xr socket 2
+API works for this particular kind of a socket.
+.Pp
+A minimal
+.Nm
+structure implementing a domain shall be initialized with sparse C99
+initializer and has public fields as follows:
+.Bd -literal
+struct domain {
+ /*
+ * Mandatory fields.
+ */
+ int dom_family; /* PF_xxx, first argument of socket(2) */
+ char *dom_name; /* text name of the domain */
+ u_int dom_nprotosw; /* length of dom_protosw[] */
+ /*
+ * Following methods are optional.
+ */
+ int (*dom_probe)(void); /* check for support */
+ struct rib_head *(*dom_rtattach)(uint32_t); /* init route table */
+ void (*dom_rtdetach)(struct rib_head *); /* clean up table */
+ void *(*dom_ifattach)(struct ifnet *); /* interface attach */
+ void (*dom_ifdetach)(struct ifnet *, void *);/* & detach callbacks */
+ int (*dom_ifmtu)(struct ifnet *); /* mtu change */
+ /*
+ * Mandatory variable size array of pointers to protosw structs.
+ */
+ struct protosw *dom_protosw[];
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Each domain contains the
+.Va dom_protosw
+array of protocol switch structures
+.Pq Vt "struct protosw *" ,
+one for each socket type supported.
+The array may have
+.Dv NULL
+spacers for loadable protocols.
+Sparse C99 initializers shall be used to initialize
+.Nm protosw
+structures.
+The structure has mandatory field
+.Va pr_type
+and mandatory
+.Va pr_attach
+method.
+The rest of the methods are optional, but a meaningful protocol should
+implement some.
+.Bd -literal
+struct protosw {
+ short pr_type; /* second argument of socket(2) */
+ short pr_protocol; /* third argument of socket(2) or 0 */
+ short pr_flags; /* see protosw.h */
+ pr_soreceive_t *pr_soreceive; /* recv(2) */
+ pr_rcvd_t *pr_rcvd; /* soreceive_generic() if PR_WANTRCV */

+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following functions handle the registration of new domains and protocols.
+.Pp
+.Fn domain_add
+adds a new protocol domain to the system.
+In most cases
+.Fn domain_add
+is not called directly, instead
+.Fn DOMAIN_SET
+is used, which is a wrapper around
+.Fn SYSINIT
+macro.
+If the new domain has defined a
+.Va dom_probe
+routine, it is called first in
+.Fn domain_add
+to determine if the domain should be supported on the current system.
+If the probe routine returns a non-0 value, then the domain will not be added.
+Once a domain is added it cannot be completely unloaded.
+This is because there is
+no reference counting system in place to determine if there are any
+active references from sockets within that domain.
+However, the experimental
+.Fn domain_remove
+exists, and unloadable domains may be supported in the future.
+.Pp
+.Fn protosw_register
+dynamically adds a protocol to a domain, if the latter
+has an empty slot in its
+.Va dom_protosw .
+Dynamically added protocol can later be unloaded with
+.Fn protosw_unregister .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn domain_add
+never fails, but it may not add a domain if its
+.Va dom_probe
+fails.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn protosw_register
+function may fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EEXIST
+A protocol with the same value of
+.Va pr_type
+and
+.Va pr_protocol
+already exists in the domain.
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+The domain doesn't have any NULL slots in its
+.Va dom_protosw .

+The

+subsystem first appeared in
+.Bx 4.3
+as the part of the very first
+.Xr socket 2
+API implementation.

+The
+.Nm
+subsystem and this manual page were significantly rewritten in
+.Fx 14 .
