| 62 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
| 63 | Building and parsing the Hop-by-Hop and Destination options is | ||
| 64 | complicated. | ||
| 65 | The advanced sockets API defines a set of functions to | ||
| 66 | help applications create and manipulate Hop-by-Hop and Destination | ||
| 67 | options. | ||
| 68 | .\"This man page describes the functions specified in | ||
| 69 | .\"IETF Draft RFC 3542 while the | ||
| 70 | .\".Xr inet6_options_space 3 | ||
| 71 | .\"man page documents the functions defined in RFC 2292. | ||
| 72 | .\"It is expected | ||
| 73 | .\"that this set of functions will supersede those in RFC 2292 but for | ||
| 74 | .\"the time being both APIs are retained. | ||
| 75 | These functions use the | ||
| 76 | formatting rules specified in Appendix B in RFC 2460, i.e. that the | ||
| 77 | largest field is placed last in the option. | ||
| 78 | The function prototypes | ||
| 79 | for these functions are all contained in the header file | ||
| 80 | .Aq Pa netinet/in.h . | ||
| 81 | .\" | ||
| 82 | .Ss inet6_opt_init | ||
| 83 | The | ||
| 84 | .Fn inet6_opt_init | ||
| 85 | function | ||
| 86 | returns the number of bytes needed for an empty | ||
| 87 | extension header, one without any options. | ||
| 88 | If the | ||
| 89 | .Va extbuf | ||
| 90 | argument points to a valid section of memory | ||
| 91 | then the | ||
| 92 | .Fn inet6_opt_init | ||
| 93 | function also initializes the extension header's length field. | ||
| 94 | When attempting to initialize an extension buffer passed in the | ||
| 95 | .Va extbuf | ||
| 96 | argument, | ||
| 97 | .Fa extlen | ||
| 98 | must be a positive multiple of 8 or else the function fails and | ||
| 99 | returns \-1 to the caller. | ||
| 100 | .\" | ||
| 101 | .Ss inet6_opt_append | ||
| 102 | The | ||
| 103 | .Fn inet6_opt_append | ||
| 104 | function can perform different jobs. | ||
| 105 | When a valid | ||
| 106 | .Fa extbuf | ||
| 107 | argument is supplied it appends an option to the extension buffer and | ||
| 108 | returns the updated total length as well as a pointer to the newly | ||
| 109 | created option in | ||
| 110 | .Fa databufp . | ||
| 111 | If the value | ||
| 112 | of | ||
| 113 | .Fa extbuf | ||
| 114 | is | ||
| 115 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 116 | then the | ||
| 117 | .Fn inet6_opt_append | ||
| 118 | function only reports what the total length would | ||
| 119 | be if the option were actually appended. | ||
| 120 | The | ||
| 121 | .Fa len | ||
| 122 | and | ||
| 123 | .Fa align | ||
| 124 | arguments specify the length of the option and the required data | ||
| 125 | alignment which must be used when appending the option. | ||
| 126 | The | ||
| 127 | .Fa offset | ||
| 128 | argument should be the length returned by the | ||
| 129 | .Fn inet6_opt_init | ||
| 130 | function or a previous call to | ||
| 131 | .Fn inet6_opt_append . | ||
| 132 | .Pp | ||
| 133 | The | ||
| 134 | .Fa type | ||
| 135 | argument is the 8-bit option type. | ||
| 136 | .Pp | ||
| 137 | After | ||
| 138 | .Fn inet6_opt_append | ||
| 139 | has been called, the application can use the buffer pointed to by | ||
| 140 | .Fa databufp | ||
| 141 | directly, or use | ||
| 142 | .Fn inet6_opt_set_val | ||
| 143 | to specify the data to be contained in the option. | ||
| 144 | .Pp | ||
| 145 | Option types of | ||
| 146 | .Li 0 | ||
| 147 | and | ||
| 148 | .Li 1 | ||
| 149 | are reserved for the | ||
| 150 | .Li Pad1 | ||
| 151 | and | ||
| 152 | .Li PadN | ||
| 153 | options. | ||
| 154 | All other values from 2 through 255 may be used by applications. | ||
| 155 | .Pp | ||
| 156 | The length of the option data is contained in an 8-bit value and so | ||
| 157 | may contain any value from 0 through 255. | ||
| 158 | .Pp | ||
| 159 | The | ||
| 160 | .Fa align | ||
| 161 | parameter must have a value of 1, 2, 4, or 8 and cannot exceed the | ||
| 162 | value of | ||
| 163 | .Fa len . | ||
| 164 | The alignment values represent no alignment, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit | ||
| 165 | alignments respectively. | ||
| 166 | .\" | ||
| 167 | .Ss inet6_opt_finish | ||
| 168 | The | ||
| 169 | .Fn inet6_opt_finish | ||
| 170 | calculates the final padding necessary to make the extension header a | ||
| 171 | multiple of 8 bytes, as required by the IPv6 extension header | ||
| 172 | specification, and returns the extension header's updated total | ||
| 173 | length. | ||
| 174 | The | ||
| 175 | .Fa offset | ||
| 176 | argument should be the length returned by | ||
| 177 | .Fn inet6_opt_init | ||
| 178 | or | ||
| 179 | .Fn inet6_opt_append . | ||
| 180 | When | ||
| 181 | .Fa extbuf | ||
| 182 | is not | ||
| 183 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 184 | the function also sets up the appropriate padding bytes by inserting a | ||
| 185 | Pad1 or PadN option of the proper length. | ||
| 186 | .Pp | ||
| 187 | If the extension header is too small to contain the proper padding | ||
| 188 | then an error of \-1 is returned to the caller. | ||
| 189 | .\" | ||
| 190 | .Ss inet6_opt_set_val | ||
| 191 | The | ||
| 192 | .Fn inet6_opt_set_val | ||
| 193 | function inserts data items of various sizes into the data portion of | ||
| 194 | the option. | ||
| 195 | The | ||
| 196 | .Fa databuf | ||
| 197 | argument is a pointer to memory that was returned by the | ||
| 198 | .Fn inet6_opt_append | ||
| 199 | call and the | ||
| 200 | .Fa offset | ||
| 201 | argument specifies where the option should be placed in the | ||
| 202 | data buffer. | ||
| 203 | The | ||
| 204 | .Fa val | ||
| 205 | argument points to an area of memory containing the data to be | ||
| 206 | inserted into the extension header, and the | ||
| 207 | .Fa vallen | ||
| 208 | argument indicates how much data to copy. | ||
| 209 | .Pp | ||
| 210 | The caller should ensure that each field is aligned on its natural | ||
| 211 | boundaries as described in Appendix B of RFC 2460. | ||
| 212 | .Pp | ||
| 213 | The function returns the offset for the next field which is calculated as | ||
| 214 | .Fa offset | ||
| 215 | + | ||
| 216 | .Fa vallen | ||
| 217 | and is used when composing options with multiple fields. | ||
| 218 | .\" | ||
| 219 | .Ss inet6_opt_next | ||
| 220 | The | ||
| 221 | .Fn inet6_opt_next | ||
| 222 | function parses received extension headers. | ||
| 223 | The | ||
| 224 | .Fa extbuf | ||
| 225 | and | ||
| 226 | .Fa extlen | ||
| 227 | arguments specify the location and length of the extension header | ||
| 228 | being parsed. | ||
| 229 | The | ||
| 230 | .Fa offset | ||
| 231 | argument should either be zero, for the first option, or the length value | ||
| 232 | returned by a previous call to | ||
| 233 | .Fn inet6_opt_next | ||
| 234 | or | ||
| 235 | .Fn inet6_opt_find . | ||
| 236 | The return value specifies the position where to continue scanning the | ||
| 237 | extension buffer. | ||
| 238 | The option is returned in the arguments | ||
| 239 | .Fa typep , lenp , | ||
| 240 | and | ||
| 241 | .Fa databufp . | ||
| 242 | .Fa typep , lenp , | ||
| 243 | and | ||
| 244 | .Fa databufp | ||
| 245 | point to the 8-bit option type, the 8-bit option length and the option | ||
| 246 | data respectively. | ||
| 247 | This function does not return any PAD1 or PADN options. | ||
| 248 | When an error occurs or there are no more options the return | ||
| 249 | value is \-1. | ||
| 250 | .\" | ||
| 251 | .Ss inet6_opt_find | ||
| 252 | The | ||
| 253 | .Fn inet6_opt_find | ||
| 254 | function searches the extension buffer for a particular option type, | ||
| 255 | passed in through the | ||
| 256 | .Fa type | ||
| 257 | argument. | ||
| 258 | If the option is found then the | ||
| 259 | .Fa lenp | ||
| 260 | and | ||
| 261 | .Fa databufp | ||
| 262 | arguments are updated to point to the option's length and data | ||
| 263 | respectively. | ||
| 264 | .Fa extbuf | ||
| 265 | and | ||
| 266 | .Fa extlen | ||
| 267 | must point to a valid extension buffer and give its length. | ||
| 268 | The | ||
| 269 | .Fa offset | ||
| 270 | argument can be used to search from a location anywhere in the | ||
| 271 | extension header. | ||
| 272 | .Ss inet6_opt_get_val | ||
| 273 | The | ||
| 274 | .Fn inet6_opt_get_val | ||
| 275 | function extracts data items of various sizes in the data portion of | ||
| 276 | the option. | ||
| 277 | The | ||
| 278 | .Fa databuf | ||
| 279 | is a pointer returned by the | ||
| 280 | .Fn inet6_opt_next | ||
| 281 | or | ||
| 282 | .Fn inet6_opt_find | ||
| 283 | functions. | ||
| 284 | The | ||
| 285 | .Fa val | ||
| 286 | argument points to where the data will be extracted. | ||
| 287 | The | ||
| 288 | .Fa offset | ||
| 289 | argument specifies from where in the data portion of the option the | ||
| 290 | value should be extracted; the first byte of option data is specified | ||
| 291 | by an offset of zero. | ||
| 292 | .Pp | ||
| 293 | It is expected that each field is aligned on its natural boundaries as | ||
| 294 | described in Appendix B of RFC 2460. | ||
| 295 | .Pp | ||
| 296 | The function returns the offset for the next field | ||
| 297 | by calculating | ||
| 298 | .Fa offset | ||
| 299 | + | ||
| 300 | .Fa vallen | ||
| 301 | which can be used when extracting option content with multiple fields. | ||
| 302 | Robust receivers must verify alignment before calling this function. | ||
