+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+.B dcb pfc
+is used to configure Priority-based Flow Control attributes through Linux
+DCB (Data Center Bridging) interface. PFC permits marking flows with a
+certain priority as lossless, and holds related configuration, as well as
+PFC counters.
+
+.SH PARAMETERS
+
+For read-write parameters, the following describes only the write direction,
+i.e. as used with the \fBset\fR command. For the \fBshow\fR command, the
+parameter name is to be used as a simple keyword without further arguments. This
+instructs the tool to show the value of a given parameter. When no parameters
+are given, the tool shows the complete PFC configuration.
+
+.TP
+.B pfc-cap
+A read-only property that shows the number of traffic classes that may
+simultaneously support PFC.
+
+.TP
+.B requests
+A read-only count of the sent PFC frames per traffic class. Only shown when
+-s is given, or when requested explicitly.
+
+.TP
+.B indications
+A read-only count of the received PFC frames per traffic class. Only shown
+when -s is given, or when requested explicitly.
+
+.TP
+.B macsec-bypass \fR{ \fBon\fR | \fBoff\fR }
+Whether the sending station is capable of bypassing MACsec processing when
+MACsec is disabled.
+
+.TP
+.B prio-pfc \fIPFC-MAP
+\fIPFC-MAP\fR uses the array parameter syntax, see
+.BR dcb (8)
+for details. Keys are priorities, values are on / off indicators of whether
+PFC is enabled for a given priority.
+
+.TP
+.B delay \fIINTEGER
+The allowance made for round-trip propagation delay of the link in bits.
+The value shall be 0..65535.
+
+.SH EXAMPLE & USAGE
+
+Enable PFC on priorities 6 and 7, leaving the rest intact:
+
+.P
+# dcb pfc set dev eth0 prio-pfc 6:on 7:on
+
+Disable PFC of all priorities except 6 and 7, and configure delay to 4096
+bits:
+
+.P
+# dcb pfc set dev eth0 prio-pfc all:off 6:on 7:on delay 0x1000
+
+Show what was set:
+
+.P
+# dcb pfc show dev eth0
+.br
+pfc-cap 8 macsec-bypass off delay 4096
+.br
+prio-pfc 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:on 7:on
+
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer upon failure.

+.SH REPORTING BUGS
+Report any bugs to the Network Developers mailing list
+.B <netdev@vger.kernel.org>
+where the development and maintenance is primarily done.
+You do not have to be subscribed to the list to send a message there.
