       DLsubsbind_req(3dlpi)                          DLsubsbind_req(3dlpi)


       NAME
             DLsubsbind_req - support for SNAP frame formats

       SYNOPSIS
             DLsubsbind_req(queue_t *q, mblk_t *mp)

          Parameters
            q           pointer to the controlling STREAMS queue.

            mp          pointer to a STREAMS message containing a
                         DL_SUBS_BIND_REQ primitive.

       DESCRIPTION
             This function was added to support SNAP frame formats.  A
             DL_SUBS_BIND_REQ primitive can be issued only in the DL_IDLE
             state.  The primitive issued in any other state will result in
             a call to DLerror_ack with the error number set to
             DL_OUTSTATE.  Furthermore, if the sap_addr is not equal to
             SNAPSAP (0xaa), the primitive will be error acknowledged with
             the error set to DL_BADADDR.  The address extensions provided
             are used to initialize the snap_global and the snap_local
             fields of the DL_sap_t structure.
