After running \texttt{scan\_interfaces}, the following functions are available:
\begin{itemize}
- \item{\texttt{find\_config \textit{interface}}} \\
- looks for a network configuration that includes
- the specified network interface.
+ \item{\texttt{find\_config \textit{interface}}} \\

- \item{\texttt{setup\_interface \textit{interface [config] [protocol]}}} \\
- will set up the specified interface, optionally overriding the network configuration
- name or the protocol that it uses.

\subsubsection{Writing protocol handlers}
\begin{Verbatim}
scan_<protocolname>() {
- local config="$1"
- # change the interface names if necessary
+ local config="$1"
+ # change the interface names if necessary
}
setup_interface_<protocolname>() {
- local interface="\$1"
- local config="\$2"
- # set up the interface
+ local interface="$1"
+ local config="$2"
+ # set up the interface
}
