NAME
       FCOE_CreatePort - create an FCoE port

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lfcoe [ library... ]
       #include <libfcoe.h>

       int FCOE_CreatePort(const char *macLinkName, int portType,
	    struct fcoe_port_wwn pwwn, struct fcoe_port_wwn nwwn,
	    int promiscuous);

PARAMETERS
       macLinkName
		      The  name	 of  the  MAC link on which to create the FCoE
		      port.

       portType
		      This parameter should always be FCOE_PORTTYPE_TARGET.

       pwwn
		      The Port WorldWideName to be used	 for  the  FCoE	 port.
		      Fill  the	 structure  with  zeros to let the fcoe driver
		      generate a valid Port WWN from the MAC  address  of  the
		      underlying NIC hardware.

       nwwn
		      The  Node	 WorldWideName	to  be used for the FCoE port.
		      Fill the structure with zeros to	let  the  fcoe	driver
		      generate	a  valid  Node WWN from the MAC address of the
		      underlying NIC hardware.

       promiscuous
		      A non-zero value	to  enable  promiscuous	 mode  on  the
		      underlying  NIC  hardware. A value of 0 indicates use of
		      the multiple unicast address feature of  the  underlying
		      NIC hardware.
