.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Building and parsing the Hop-by-Hop and Destination options is
|
|
complicated.
|
|
The advanced API therefore defines a set
|
|
of functions to help applications.
|
|
These functions assume the
|
|
formatting rules specified in Appendix B in RFC2460, i.e., that the
|
|
largest field is placed last in the option.
|
|
The function prototypes for
|
|
these functions are all in the
|
|
.In netinet/in.h
|
|
header.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_opt_init
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_init
|
|
function
|
|
returns the number of bytes needed for the empty
|
|
extension header, i.e., without any options.
|
|
If
|
|
.Va extbuf
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
it also initializes the extension header to have the correct length
|
|
field.
|
|
In that case if the
|
|
.Fa extlen
|
|
value is not a positive
|
|
(i.e., non-zero)
|
|
multiple of 8 the function fails and returns \-1.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_opt_append
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_append
|
|
function
|
|
returns the updated total length taking into account
|
|
adding an option with length
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
and alignment
|
|
.Fa align .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
argument
|
|
should be the length returned by
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_init
|
|
or a previous
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_append .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa extbuf
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
then, in addition to returning the length,
|
|
the function inserts any needed pad option, initializes the option
|
|
(setting the type and length fields)
|
|
and returns a pointer to the location for the option content in
|
|
.Fa databufp .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument
|
|
is the 8-bit option type.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
argument
|
|
is the length of the option data
|
|
(i.e., excluding the option type and option length fields).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_append
|
|
has been called, the application can use the
|
|
databuf directly, or use
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_set_val
|
|
to specify the content of the option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The option type must have a value from 2 to 255, inclusive.
|
|
(0 and 1 are reserved for the Pad1 and PadN options, respectively.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The option data length must have a value between 0 and 255,
|
|
inclusive, and is the length of the option data that follows.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa align
|
|
parameter must have a value of 1, 2, 4, or 8.
|
|
The align value can not exceed the value of
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_opt_finish
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_finish
|
|
function
|
|
returns the updated total length
|
|
taking into account the final padding of the extension header to make
|
|
it a multiple of 8 bytes.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
argument
|
|
should be the length returned by
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_init
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_append .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa extbuf
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
the function also
|
|
initializes the option by inserting a Pad1 or PadN option of the
|
|
proper length.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the necessary pad does not fit in the extension header buffer the
|
|
function returns \-1.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_opt_set_val
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_set_val
|
|
function
|
|
inserts data items of various sizes in the data portion of the option.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa databuf
|
|
argument
|
|
should be a pointer returned by
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_append .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa val
|
|
argument
|
|
should point to the data to be
|
|
inserted.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
argument
|
|
specifies where in the data portion of the option
|
|
the value should be inserted; the first byte after the option type
|
|
and length is accessed by specifying an offset of zero.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The caller should ensure that each field is aligned on its natural
|
|
boundaries as described in Appendix B of RFC2460, but the function
|
|
must not rely on the caller's behavior.
|
|
Even when the alignment requirement is not satisfied,
|
|
the function should just copy the data as required.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function returns the offset for the next field
|
|
(i.e.,
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
+
|
|
.Fa vallen )
|
|
which can be used when composing option content with multiple fields.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_opt_next
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_next
|
|
function
|
|
parses received extension headers returning the next
|
|
option.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa extbuf
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa extlen
|
|
arguments specify the extension header.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
argument
|
|
should either be zero (for the first option), or the length returned
|
|
by a previous call to
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_next
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_find .
|
|
It specifies the position where to continue scanning the extension
|
|
buffer.
|
|
The next option is returned by updating
|
|
.Fa typep , lenp ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa databufp .
|
|
This function returns the updated
|
|
.Dq previous
|
|
length
|
|
computed by advancing past the option that was returned.
|
|
This returned
|
|
.Dq previous
|
|
length can then be passed to subsequent calls to
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_next .
|
|
This function does not return any PAD1 or PADN options.
|
|
When there are no more options the return value is \-1.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_opt_get_val
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_get_val
|
|
function extracts data items of various sizes
|
|
in the data portion of the option.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa databuf
|
|
argument
|
|
should be a pointer returned by
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_next
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn inet6_opt_find .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa val
|
|
argument
|
|
should point to the destination for the extracted data.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
argument
|
|
specifies from where in the data portion of the option the value should be
|
|
extracted; the first byte after the option type and length is
|
|
accessed by specifying an offset of zero.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is expected that each field is aligned on its natural boundaries
|
|
as described in Appendix B of RFC2460, but the function must not
|
|
rely on the alignment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function returns the offset for the next field
|
|
(i.e.,
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
+
|
|
.Fa vallen )
|
|
which can be used when extracting option content with
|
|
multiple fields.
|
|
Robust receivers might want to verify alignment before calling
|
|
this function.
|
|

|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS

All the functions return

\-1

on an error.
