2014-04-01can: Documentation: fix parameter name "sample-point"Robert Schwebel1-1/+1
This patch fixes the name of the parameter to configure the sample point used in iproute2's ip command. The correct writing is "sample-point" not "sample_point". Signed-off-by: Robert Schwebel <r.schwebel@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>
2014-03-03can: remove CAN FD compatibility for CAN 2.0 socketsOliver Hartkopp1-6/+0
In commit e2d265d3b587 (canfd: add support for CAN FD in CAN_RAW sockets) CAN FD frames with a payload length up to 8 byte are passed to legacy sockets where the CAN FD support was not enabled by the application. After some discussions with developers at a fair this well meant feature leads to confusion as no clean switch for CAN / CAN FD is provided to the application programmer. Additionally a compatibility like this for legacy CAN_RAW sockets requires some compatibility handling for the sending, e.g. make CAN2.0 frames a CAN FD frame with BRS at transmission time (?!?). This will become a mess when people start to develop applications with real CAN FD hardware. This patch reverts the bad compatibility code together with the documentation describing the removed feature.

2012-05-23can: update documentation wording error frames -> error messagesOliver Hartkopp1-16/+16
As Heinz-Juergen Oertel pointed out 'CAN error frames' are a already defined term for the CAN protocol violation indication on the wire. To avoid confusion with the error messages created by CAN drivers available via CAN RAW sockets update the documentation and change the naming from 'error frames' to 'error messages' or 'error message frames'.

2010-10-21can-raw: add msg_flags to distinguish local trafficOliver Hartkopp1-0/+12
CAN has no addressing scheme. It is currently impossible for userspace to tell is a received CAN frame comes from another process on the local host, or from a remote CAN device. This patch add support for userspace applications to distinguish between 'own', 'local' and 'remote' CAN traffic. The distinction is made by returning flags in msg->msg_flags in the call to recvmsg(). The added documentation explains the introduced flags.
