28.In net/route.h
29.Ft struct rtentry *
30.Fn rtalloc "struct sockaddr *dst" "int flags" "unsigned int rtableid"

34.Fn rtfree "struct rtentry *rt"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Fn rtalloc
38function looks in the routing table
39.Fa rtableid
40for an entry matching
41.Fa dst .
42The following
43.Fa flags
44can be specified:
45.Bl -tag -width RT_RESOLVE -offset indent
46.It Dv RT_REPORT
47Notify the routing sockets if the lookup fails.
48.It Dv RT_RESOLVE
49Allocate and return a cloned entry for
50.Fa dst
51if it does not exist and the lookup returned a cloning entry.
52.El
53.Pp
54The
55.Fn rtalloc_mpath
56function does the same as
57.Fn rtalloc
58with the
59.Dv RT_REPORT
60and
61.Dv RT_RESOLVE
62.Fa flags ,
63but selects a multipath routing entry corresponding to
64.Fa src
65when possible.
66.Pp
67The
68.Fn rtfree
69function releases a reference to the routing entry
70.Fa rt ,
71freeing it if the reference count drops to 0.
72.Sh CONTEXT
73.Fn rtalloc ,
74.Fn rtalloc_mpath ,
75and
76.Fn rtfree
77can be called during autoconf, from process context, or from interrupt context.
