1. Overview
From the CAPI 2.0 specification:
COMMON-ISDN-API (CAPI) is an application programming interface standard used
to access ISDN equipment connected to basic rate interfaces (BRI) and primary
rate interfaces (PRI).
Kernel CAPI operates as a dispatching layer between CAPI applications and CAPI
hardware drivers. Hardware drivers register ISDN devices (controllers, in CAPI
lingo) with Kernel CAPI to indicate their readiness to provide their service

corresponding hardware driver. Kernel CAPI then forwards CAPI messages in both
directions between the application and the hardware driver.
Format and semantics of CAPI messages are specified in the CAPI 2.0 standard.
This standard is freely available from http://www.capi.org.

After a successful return from register_appl(), CAPI messages from the
application may be passed to the driver for the device via calls to the
send_message() callback function. The CAPI message to send is stored in the
data portion of a skb. Conversely, the driver may call Kernel CAPI's
data portion of an skb. Conversely, the driver may call Kernel CAPI's
capi_ctr_handle_message() function to pass a received CAPI message to Kernel
CAPI for forwarding to an application, specifying its ApplID.
Format and semantics of CAPI messages are specified in the CAPI 2.0 standard.
Deregistration requests (CAPI operation CAPI_RELEASE) from applications are
forwarded as calls to the release_appl() callback function, passing the same
ApplID as with register_appl(). After return from release_appl(), no CAPI
