.It Fn m_tag_get "type" "len" "wait"
Allocate a mbuf tag.
.Fa type
is one of the
.Dv PACKET_TAG_
macros.
.Fa len
is size of data associated to the tag, in bytes.
.Fa wait
is either
.Dv M_WAITOK
or
.Dv M_NOWAIT .

.It Fn m_tag_prepend "m" "t"
Prepend the mbuf tag
.Fa t
to the mbuf
.Fa m .
.Fa t
will become the first tag of the
.Fa m .
.\" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Unlink the mbuf tag

from the mbuf
.Fa m .

.\" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
.It Fn m_tag_delete_chain "m" "t"
Unlink and free mbuf tags beginning from the mbuf tag
.Fa t
from the mbuf
.Fa m .
If
.Fa t
is
.Dv NULL ,
.Fn m_tag_delete_chain
unlinks and frees all mbuf tags associated to the mbuf
.Fa m .

.It Fn m_tag_find "m" "type" "t"
Find a mbuf tag with type
.Fa type
after the mbuf tag
.Fa t
in the tag chain associated to the mbuf
.Fa m .
If
.Fa t
is
.Dv NULL ,
search from the first mbuf tag.
If a mbuf tag is found, return a pointer to it.

Copy a mbuf tag

.It Fn m_tag_copy_chain "to" "from"
Copy all mbuf tags associated to the mbuf

to the mbuf
.Fa to .
If
.Fa to
already has any mbuf tags, they will be unlinked and freed beforehand.
Return 1 on success.
Otherwise return 0.

Return the next mbuf tag after

associated to the mbuf
.Fa m .
Return

if
.Fa t
is the last tag in the chain.

.Sh BUGS
the semantics of the term "persisitent tag" is vague.
