45 #ifndef _NETGRAPH_NG_PARSE_H_
46 #define _NETGRAPH_NG_PARSE_H_
50 This defines a library of routines for converting between various C
51 language types in binary form and ASCII strings. Types are user
52 definable. Several pre-defined types are supplied, for some common
53 C types: structures, variable and fixed length arrays, integer types,
54 variable and fixed length strings, IP addresses, etc.
56 A netgraph node type may provide a list of types that correspond to
57 the structures it expects to send and receive in the arguments field
58 of a control message. This allows these messages to be converted
59 between their native binary form and the corresponding ASCII form.
61 A future use of the ASCII form may be for inter-machine communication
62 of control messages, because the ASCII form is machine independent
63 whereas the native binary form is not.
65 Syntax
66 ------
68 Structures:
70 '{' [ <name>=<value> ... ] '}'
72 Omitted fields have their default values by implication.
73 The order in which the fields are specified does not matter.
75 Arrays:
77 '[' [ [index=]<value> ... ] ']'
79 Element value may be specified with or without the "<index>=" prefix;
80 If omitted, the index after the previous element is used.
81 Omitted fields have their default values by implication.
83 Strings:
85 "foo bar blah\r\n"
87 That is, strings are specified just like C strings. The usual
88 backslash escapes are accepted.
90 Other simple types (integers, IP addresses) have their obvious forms.
92 Example
93 -------
95 Suppose we have a netgraph command that takes as an argument
96 a 'struct foo' shown below. Here is an example of a possible
97 value for the structure, and the corresponding ASCII encoding
98 of that value:
100 Structure Binary value
101 --------- ------------
103 struct foo {
104 struct in_addr ip; 01 02 03 04
105 int bar; 00 00 00 00
106 char label[8]; 61 62 63 0a 00 00 00 00
107 u_char alen; 03 00
108 short ary[]; 05 00 00 00 0a 00
111 ASCII value
112 -----------
114 { ip=1.2.3.4 label="abc\n" alen=3 ary=[ 5 2=10 ] }
116 Note that omitted fields and array elements get their default
117 values ("bar" and ary[2]), and that the alignment is handled
118 automatically (the extra 00 byte after "alen"). Also, since byte
119 order and alignment are inherently machine dependent, so is this
120 conversion process. The above example shows an x86 (little
121 endian) encoding. Also the above example is tricky because the
122 structure is variable length, depending on 'alen', the number of
123 elements in the array 'ary'.
125 Here is how one would define a parse type for the above structure,
126 subclassing the pre-defined types below. We construct the type in
127 a 'bottom up' fashion, defining each field's type first, then the
128 type for the whole structure ('//' comments used to avoid breakage).
130 // Super-type info for 'label' field
131 struct ng_parse_fixedstring_info foo_label_info = { 8 };
133 // Parse type for 'label' field
134 struct ng_parse_type foo_label_type = {
135 &ng_parse_fixedstring_type // super-type
136 &foo_label_info // super-type info
139 #define OFFSETOF(s, e) ((char *)&((s *)0)->e - (char *)((s *)0))
141 // Function to compute the length of the array 'ary', which
142 // is variable length, depending on the previous field 'alen'.
143 // Upon entry 'buf' will be pointing at &ary[0].
145 foo_ary_getLength(const struct ng_parse_type *type,
146 const u_char *start, const u_char *buf)
148 const struct foo *f;
150 f = (const struct foo *)(buf - OFFSETOF(struct foo, ary));
151 return f->alen;
154 // Super-type info for 'ary' field
155 struct ng_parse_array_info foo_ary_info = {
156 &ng_parse_int16_type, // element type
157 &foo_ary_getLength // func to get array length
160 // Parse type for 'ary' field
161 struct ng_parse_type foo_ary_type = {
162 &ng_parse_array_type, // super-type
163 &foo_ary_info // super-type info
166 // Super-type info for struct foo
167 struct ng_parse_struct_field foo_fields[] = {
168 { "ip", &ng_parse_ipaddr_type },
169 { "bar", &ng_parse_int32_type },
170 { "label", &foo_label_type },
171 { "alen", &ng_parse_uint8_type },
172 { "ary", &foo_ary_type },
173 { NULL }
176 // Parse type for struct foo
177 struct ng_parse_type foo_type = {
178 &ng_parse_struct_type, // super-type
179 &foo_fields // super-type info
182 To define a type, you can define it as a sub-type of a predefined
183 type as shown above, possibly overriding some of the predefined
184 type's methods, or define an entirely new syntax, with the restriction
185 that the ASCII representation of your type's value must not contain
186 any whitespace or any of these characters: { } [ ] = "
188 See ng_ksocket.c for an example of how to do this for 'struct sockaddr'.
189 See ng_parse.c to see implementations of the pre-defined types below.
