NAME
     netinfo - interface to network data/functionality

DESCRIPTION
     This interface is designed	 to  provide  the  framework  for
     accessing functionality and data within an	implementation of
     a network layer protocol (OSI layer 3.)  A	protocol  may  or
     may not provide full coverage for each of the functions that
     is	described within this interface.  Where	it does	 not,  it
     must  return  an  appropriate error condition for that call.
     Documentation pertaining to the network protocol,	as  found
     in	 man  page section 7p, must list which functions provided
     by	this interface are and are not supported.
