63 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
64 | .\" | ||
65 | Building and parsing the Hop-by-Hop and Destination options is | ||
66 | complicated due to alignment constranints, padding and | ||
67 | ancillary data manipulation. | ||
68 | RFC2292 defines a set of functions to help the application. | ||
69 | The function prototypes for | ||
70 | these functions are all in the | ||
71 | .Aq Li netinet/in.h | ||
72 | header. | ||
73 | .\" | ||
74 | .Ss inet6_option_space | ||
75 | .Fn inet6_option_space | ||
76 | returns the number of bytes required to hold an option when it is stored as | ||
77 | ancillary data, including the | ||
78 | .Li cmsghdr | ||
79 | structure at the beginning, | ||
80 | and any padding at the end | ||
81 | .Po | ||
82 | to make its size a multiple of 8 bytes | ||
83 | .Pc . | ||
84 | The argument is the size of the structure defining the option, | ||
85 | which must include any pad bytes at the beginning | ||
86 | .Po | ||
87 | the value | ||
88 | .Li y | ||
89 | in the alignment term | ||
90 | .Dq Li xn + y | ||
91 | .Pc , | ||
92 | the type byte, the length byte, and the option data. | ||
93 | .Pp | ||
94 | Note: If multiple options are stored in a single ancillary data | ||
95 | object, which is the recommended technique, this function | ||
96 | overestimates the amount of space required by the size of | ||
97 | .Li N-1 | ||
98 | .Li cmsghdr | ||
99 | structures, | ||
100 | where | ||
101 | .Li N | ||
102 | is the number of options to be stored in the object. | ||
103 | This is of little consequence, since it is assumed that most | ||
104 | Hop-by-Hop option headers and Destination option headers carry only | ||
105 | one option | ||
106 | .Pq appendix B of [RFC-2460] . | ||
107 | .\" | ||
108 | .Ss inet6_option_init | ||
109 | .Fn inet6_option_init | ||
110 | is called once per ancillary data object that will | ||
111 | contain either Hop-by-Hop or Destination options. | ||
112 | It returns | ||
113 | .Li 0 | ||
114 | on success or | ||
115 | .Li -1 | ||
116 | on an error. | ||
117 | .Pp | ||
118 | .Fa bp | ||
119 | is a pointer to previously allocated space that will contain the | ||
120 | ancillary data object. | ||
121 | It must be large enough to contain all the | ||
122 | individual options to be added by later calls to | ||
123 | .Fn inet6_option_append | ||
124 | and | ||
125 | .Fn inet6_option_alloc . | ||
126 | .Pp | ||
127 | .Fa cmsgp | ||
128 | is a pointer to a pointer to a | ||
129 | .Li cmsghdr | ||
130 | structure. | ||
131 | .Fa *cmsgp | ||
132 | is initialized by this function to point to the | ||
133 | .Li cmsghdr | ||
134 | structure constructed by this function in the buffer pointed to by | ||
135 | .Fa bp . | ||

137 | .Fa type | ||
138 | is either | ||

144 | is stored in the | ||

148 | structure pointed to by | ||
149 | .Fa *cmsgp . | ||
150 | .\" | ||
151 | .Ss inet6_option_append | ||
152 | This function appends a Hop-by-Hop option or a Destination option | ||
153 | into an ancillary data object that has been initialized by | ||
154 | .Fn inet6_option_init . | ||
155 | This function returns | ||
156 | .Li 0 | ||
157 | if it succeeds or | ||
158 | .Li -1 | ||
159 | on an error. | ||
160 | .Pp | ||
161 | .Fa cmsg | ||
162 | is a pointer to the | ||
163 | .Li cmsghdr | ||
164 | structure that must have been | ||
165 | initialized by | ||
166 | .Fn inet6_option_init . | ||
167 | .Pp | ||
168 | .Fa typep | ||
169 | is a pointer to the 8-bit option type. | ||
170 | It is assumed that this | ||
171 | field is immediately followed by the 8-bit option data length field, | ||
172 | which is then followed immediately by the option data. | ||
173 | The caller | ||
174 | initializes these three fields | ||
175 | .Pq the type-length-value, or TLV | ||
176 | before calling this function. | ||
177 | .Pp | ||
178 | The option type must have a value from | ||
179 | .Li 2 | ||
180 | to | ||
181 | .Li 255 , | ||
182 | inclusive. | ||
183 | .Po | ||
184 | .Li 0 | ||
185 | and | ||
186 | .Li 1 | ||
187 | are reserved for the | ||
188 | .Li Pad1 | ||
189 | and | ||
190 | .Li PadN | ||
191 | options, respectively. | ||
192 | .Pc | ||
193 | .Pp | ||
194 | The option data length must have a value between | ||
195 | .Li 0 | ||
196 | and | ||
197 | .Li 255 , | ||
198 | inclusive, and is the length of the option data that follows. | ||
199 | .Pp | ||
200 | .Fa multx | ||
201 | is the value | ||
202 | .Li x | ||
203 | in the alignment term | ||
204 | .Dq Li xn + y . | ||
205 | It must have a value of | ||
206 | .Li 1 , | ||
207 | .Li 2 , | ||
208 | .Li 4 , | ||
209 | or | ||
210 | .Li 8 . | ||
211 | .Pp | ||
212 | .Fa plusy | ||
213 | is the value | ||
214 | .Li y | ||
215 | in the alignment term | ||
216 | .Dq Li xn + y . | ||
217 | It must have a value between | ||
218 | .Li 0 | ||
219 | and | ||
220 | .Li 7 , | ||
221 | inclusive. | ||
222 | .\" | ||
223 | .Ss inet6_option_alloc | ||
224 | This function appends a Hop-by-Hop option or a Destination option | ||
225 | into an ancillary data object that has been initialized by | ||
226 | .Fn inet6_option_init . | ||
227 | This function returns a pointer to the 8-bit | ||
228 | option type field that starts the option on success, or | ||
229 | .Dv NULL | ||
230 | on an error. | ||
231 | .Pp | ||
232 | The difference between this function and | ||
233 | .Fn inet6_option_append | ||
234 | is that the latter copies the contents of a previously built option into | ||
235 | the ancillary data object while the current function returns a | ||
236 | pointer to the space in the data object where the option's TLV must | ||
237 | then be built by the caller. | ||
238 | .Pp | ||
239 | .Fa cmsg | ||
240 | is a pointer to the | ||
241 | .Li cmsghdr | ||
242 | structure that must have been | ||
243 | initialized by | ||
244 | .Fn inet6_option_init . | ||
245 | .Pp | ||
246 | .Fa datalen | ||
247 | is the value of the option data length byte for this option. | ||
248 | This value is required as an argument to allow the function to | ||
249 | determine if padding must be appended at the end of the option. | ||
250 | .Po | ||
251 | The | ||
252 | .Fn inet6_option_append | ||
253 | function does not need a data length argument | ||
254 | since the option data length must already be stored by the caller. | ||
255 | .Pc | ||
256 | .Pp | ||
257 | .Fa multx | ||
258 | is the value | ||
259 | .Li x | ||
260 | in the alignment term | ||
261 | .Dq Li xn + y . | ||
262 | It must have a value of | ||
263 | .Li 1 , | ||
264 | .Li 2 , | ||
265 | .Li 4 , | ||
266 | or | ||
267 | .Li 8 . | ||
268 | .Pp | ||
269 | .Fa plusy | ||
270 | is the value | ||
271 | .Li y | ||
272 | in the alignment term | ||
273 | .Dq Li xn + y . | ||
274 | It must have a value between | ||
275 | .Li 0 | ||
276 | and | ||
277 | .Li 7 , | ||
278 | inclusive. | ||
279 | .\" | ||
280 | .Ss inet6_option_next | ||
281 | This function processes the next Hop-by-Hop option or Destination | ||
282 | option in an ancillary data object. | ||
283 | If another option remains to be | ||
284 | processed, the return value of the function is | ||
285 | .Li 0 | ||
286 | and | ||
287 | .Fa *tptrp | ||
288 | points to | ||
289 | the 8-bit option type field | ||
290 | .Po | ||
291 | which is followed by the 8-bit option | ||
292 | data length, followed by the option data | ||
293 | .Pc . | ||
294 | If no more options remain | ||
295 | to be processed, the return value is | ||
296 | .Li -1 | ||
297 | and | ||
298 | .Fa *tptrp | ||
299 | is | ||
300 | .Dv NULL . | ||
301 | If an error occurs, the return value is | ||
302 | .Li -1 | ||
303 | and | ||
304 | .Fa *tptrp | ||
305 | is not | ||
306 | .Dv NULL . | ||
307 | .Pp | ||

309 | is a pointer to | ||

312 | .Li cmsg_level | ||
313 | equals | ||
314 | .Dv IPPROTO_IPV6 | ||
315 | and | ||
316 | .Li cmsg_type | ||
317 | equals either | ||
318 | .Dv IPV6_HOPOPTS | ||
319 | or | ||
320 | .Dv IPV6_DSTOPTS . | ||
321 | .Pp | ||
322 | .Fa tptrp | ||
323 | is a pointer to a pointer to an 8-bit byte and | ||
324 | .Fa *tptrp | ||
325 | is used | ||
326 | by the function to remember its place in the ancillary data object | ||
327 | each time the function is called. | ||
328 | The first time this function is | ||
329 | called for a given ancillary data object, | ||

337 | option type field for the next option to be processed. | ||
338 | .\" | ||
339 | .Ss inet6_option_find | ||
340 | This function is similar to the previously described | ||
341 | .Fn inet6_option_next | ||
342 | function, except this function lets the caller | ||
343 | specify the option type to be searched for, instead of always | ||
344 | returning the next option in the ancillary data object. | ||
345 | .Fa cmsg | ||
346 | is a | ||
