Link Layer API Primitives

The application and the link layer API interact using the link layer primitives. The MGSL_DLPRIMITIVE structure contains the details of a primitive when using the MgslDlCall and MgslDlWait functions. The application fills out the primitive structure when making a request or response using MgslDlCall. The link layer API fills out the primitive structure when returning a confirm or indication primitive from MgslDlWait.

Each primitive type is identified by a macro of the form DLX_Y where X is one of the four primitive categories (REQUEST, RESPONSE, INDICATION, CONFIRM) and Y indicates the function of the primitive.

The following sections describe each primitive.
