+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+functions provide an API to network drivers for using
+.Xr buf_ring 9
+for enqueueing and dequeueing packets.
+This is meant as a replacement for the IFQ interface for packet queuing.
+It allows a packet to be enqueued with a single atomic and packet
+dequeue to be done without any per-packet atomics as it is protected
+by the driver's tx queue lock.
+If
+.Dv INVARIANTS
+is enabled,
+.Fn drbr_dequeue
+will assert that the tx queue lock is held when it is called.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn drbr_free
+function frees all the enqueued mbufs and then frees the buf_ring.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn drbr_enqueue
+function is used to enqueue an mbuf to a buf_ring, falling back to the
+ifnet's IFQ if
+.Xr ALTQ 4
+is enabled.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn drbr_dequeue
+function is used to dequeue an mbuf from a buf_ring or, if
+.Xr ALTQ 4
+is enabled, from the ifnet's IFQ.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn drbr_dequeue_cond
+function is used to conditionally dequeue an mbuf from a buf_ring based
+on whether
+.Fa func
+returns
+.Dv TRUE
+or
+.Dv FALSE .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn drbr_flush
+function frees all mbufs enqueued in the buf_ring and the ifnet's IFQ.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn drbr_empty
+function returns
+.Dv TRUE
+if there are no mbufs enqueued,
+.Dv FALSE
+otherwise.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn drbr_inuse
+function returns the number of mbufs enqueued.
+Note to users that this is intrinsically racy as there is no guarantee that
+there will not be more mbufs when
+.Fn drbr_dequeue
+is actually called.
+Provided the tx queue lock is held there will not be less.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn drbr_enqueue
+function returns
+.Er ENOBUFS
+if there are no slots available in the buf_ring and
+.Dv 0
+on success.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn drbr_dequeue
+and
+.Fn drbr_dequeue_cond
+functions return an mbuf on success and
+.Dv NULL
+if the buf_ring is empty.
+.Sh HISTORY
+These functions were introduced in
+.Fx 8.0 .
