53 This defines a library of routines for converting between various C
54 language types in binary form and ASCII strings. Types are user
55 definable. Several pre-defined types are supplied, for some common
56 C types: structures, variable and fixed length arrays, integer types,
57 variable and fixed length strings, IP addresses, etc.
59 A netgraph node type may provide a list of types that correspond to
60 the structures it expects to send and receive in the arguments field
61 of a control message. This allows these messages to be converted
62 between their native binary form and the corresponding ASCII form.
64 A future use of the ASCII form may be for inter-machine communication
65 of control messages, because the ASCII form is machine independent
66 whereas the native binary form is not.
68 Syntax
69 ------
71 Structures:
73 '{' [ <name>=<value> ... ] '}'
75 Omitted fields have their default values by implication.
76 The order in which the fields are specified does not matter.
78 Arrays:
80 '[' [ [index=]<value> ... ] ']'
82 Element value may be specified with or without the "<index>=" prefix;
83 If omitted, the index after the previous element is used.
84 Omitted fields have their default values by implication.
86 Strings:
88 "foo bar blah\r\n"
90 That is, strings are specified just like C strings. The usual
91 backslash escapes are accepted.
93 Other simple types (integers, IP addresses) have their obvious forms.
95 Example
96 -------
98 Suppose we have a netgraph command that takes as an argument
99 a 'struct foo' shown below. Here is an example of a possible
100 value for the structure, and the corresponding ASCII encoding
101 of that value:
103 Structure Binary value
104 --------- ------------
106 struct foo {
107 struct in_addr ip; 01 02 03 04
108 int bar; 00 00 00 00
109 char label[8]; 61 62 63 0a 00 00 00 00
110 u_char alen; 03 00
111 short ary[0]; 05 00 00 00 0a 00
114 ASCII value
115 -----------
117 { ip=1.2.3.4 label="abc\n" alen=3 ary=[ 5 2=10 ] }
119 Note that omitted fields and array elements get their default
120 values ("bar" and ary[2]), and that the alignment is handled
121 automatically (the extra 00 byte after "num"). Also, since byte
122 order and alignment are inherently machine dependent, so is this
123 conversion process. The above example shows an x86 (little
124 endian) encoding. Also the above example is tricky because the
125 structure is variable length, depending on 'alen', the number of
126 elements in the array 'ary'.
128 Here is how one would define a parse type for the above structure,
129 subclassing the pre-defined types below. We construct the type in
130 a 'bottom up' fashion, defining each field's type first, then the
131 type for the whole structure ('//' comments used to avoid breakage).
133 // Super-type info for 'label' field
134 struct ng_parse_fixedstring_info foo_label_info = { 8 };
136 // Parse type for 'label' field
137 struct ng_parse_type foo_label_type = {
138 &ng_parse_fixedstring_type // super-type
139 &foo_label_info // super-type info
142 #define OFFSETOF(s, e) ((char *)&((s *)0)->e - (char *)((s *)0))
144 // Function to compute the length of the array 'ary', which
145 // is variable length, depending on the previous field 'alen'.
146 // Upon entry 'buf' will be pointing at &ary[0].
148 foo_ary_getLength(const struct ng_parse_type *type,
149 const u_char *start, const u_char *buf)
151 const struct foo *f;
153 f = (const struct foo *)(buf - OFFSETOF(struct foo, ary));
154 return f->alen;
157 // Super-type info for 'ary' field
158 struct ng_parse_array_info foo_ary_info = {
159 &ng_parse_int16_type, // element type
160 &foo_ary_getLength // func to get array length
163 // Parse type for 'ary' field
164 struct ng_parse_type foo_ary_type = {
165 &ng_parse_array_type, // super-type
166 &foo_ary_info // super-type info
169 // Super-type info for struct foo
170 struct ng_parse_struct_field foo_fields[] = {
171 { "ip", &ng_parse_ipaddr_type },
172 { "bar", &ng_parse_int32_type },
173 { "label", &foo_label_type },
174 { "alen", &ng_parse_uint8_type },
175 { "ary", &foo_ary_type },
176 { NULL }
179 // Parse type for struct foo
180 struct ng_parse_type foo_type = {
181 &ng_parse_struct_type, // super-type
182 &foo_fields // super-type info
185 To define a type, you can define it as a sub-type of a predefined
186 type as shown above, possibly overriding some of the predefined
187 type's methods, or define an entirely new syntax, with the restriction
188 that the ASCII representation of your type's value must not contain
189 any whitespace or any of these characters: { } [ ] = "
191 See ng_ksocket.c for an example of how to do this for 'struct sockaddr'.
192 See ng_parse.c to see implementations of the pre-defined types below.

201 * Three methods are required for a type. These may be given explicitly

213 * 'start' points to the first byte output by ng_parse() (ie, start <= buf).
215 * Upon return, *buflen contains the length of the new binary data, and
216 * *off is updated to point just past the end of the parsed range of
217 * characters, or, in the case of an error, to the offending character(s).

224 * E2BIG Array or character string overflow
225 * ERANGE Output was longer than *buflen bytes
