NAME

bicc_ioctl - Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC) - IO Controls

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/stropts.h>
#include <ss7/bicci_ioctl.h>

struct strioctl *arg;
int bicc_stream = open(/dev/bicc, flags);
int retval = ioctl(bicc_stream, I_STR, arg);

DESCRIPTION

BICC-IOCTL
si a definition of the managed object model for the bicc(4) driver using the IO controls defined in lmi_ioctl(4). The bicc(4) driver is an implementation of the Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC) protocol as defined in ITU-T Recommendation Q.765 and ANSI T1.BICC. BICC-IOCTL provides the definition of the managed objects for the bicc(4) driver in accordance with the managed object model for ISUP in ITU-T Recommdnation Q.751.3.

Object Model

BICC provides for management of a number of managed objects. These objects are of a number of types as follows:

BICC_OBJ_TYPE_DF: Default Object.
BICC_OBJ_TYPE_CC: Call control user.
BICC_OBJ_TYPE_BC: Bearer circuit.
BICC_OBJ_TYPE_BG: Bearer group.
BICC_OBJ_TYPE_TG: Trunk group.
BICC_OBJ_TYPE_SR: Signalling relation.
BICC_OBJ_TYPE_SP: Signalling point.
BICC_OBJ_TYPE_MT: Message Transfer Part.

IOCTLS
