| 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 . | ||
| 136 | .Pp | ||

| 138 | is either | ||
| 139 | .Dv IPV6_HOPOPTS | ||
| 140 | or | ||
| 141 | .Dv IPV6_DSTOPTS . | ||
| 142 | This | ||
| 143 | .Fa type | ||
| 144 | is stored in the | ||
| 145 | .Li cmsg_type | ||
| 146 | member of the | ||

| 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 | ||

| 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 | ||

| 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 . | ||

| 305 | is not | ||

| 326 | by the function to remember its place in the ancillary data object | ||
