NAME
     mac_prop_info_set_perm,     mac_prop_info_set_default_uint8,
     mac_prop_info_set_default_str,
     mac_prop_info_set_default_link_flowctrl,
     mac_prop_info_set_range_uint32 - set property information

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     void mac_prop_info_set_perm(mac_prop_info_handle_t ph,
         uint8_t perm);


     void mac_prop_info_set_default_uint8(mac_prop_info_handle_t ph,
         uint8_t val);


     void mac_prop_info_set_default_str(mac_prop_info_handle_t ph,
         const char *str);


     void mac_prop_info_set_default_link_flowctrl(
         mac_prop_info_handle_t ph, link_flowctrl_t val);


     void mac_prop_info_set_range_uint32(mac_prop_info_handle_t ph,
         uint32_t min, uint32_t max);


DESCRIPTION
     The entry points described here are invoked  from  a  device
     driver's  mc_getcapab(9E)  entry point to associate informa-
     tion such as default values, permissions, or  allowed  value
     ranges.


     Each one of these functions takes as first argument the pro-
     perty information handle which is passed to mc_propinfo() as
     argument.


     The mac_prop_info_set_perm() function specifies the property
     of  the  property. The permission is passed through the perm
     argument and can be set to one of the following values.

     MAC_PROP_PERM_READ     The property is read-only.


     MAC_PROP_PERM_WRITE    The property is write-only.

     MAC_PROP_PERM_RW       The property can be read and written.



     The driver is not required to call  mac_prop_info_set_perm()
     for  every  property. If the driver does not call that func-
     tion for a specific property, the framework will assume that
     the  property  has read and write permissions, corresponding
     to MAC_PROP_PERM_RW.


     The                       mac_prop_info_set_default_uint8(),
     mac_prop_info_set_default_str(),                         and
     mac_prop_info_set_default_link_flowctrl() functions are used
     to associate a default value with a specific property.


     The mac_prop_info_set_range_uint32() function is used  by  a
     driver  to  associate  an  allowed  range  of  values  for a
     specific property. The range is defined by the min  and  max
     arguments  passed by the device driver. This function can be
     called  successively  to  specify  multiple  non-overlapping
     ranges.
