28 ;; Packing and unpacking of (binary) data structures.
30 ;; The data formats used in binary files and network protocols are
31 ;; often structed data which can be described by a C-style structure
32 ;; such as the one shown below. Using the bindat package, decoding
33 ;; and encoding binary data formats like these is made simple using a
34 ;; structure specification which closely resembles the C style
35 ;; structure declarations.
37 ;; Encoded (binary) data is stored in a unibyte string or vector,
38 ;; while the decoded data is stored in an alist with (FIELD . VALUE)
43 ;; Consider the following C structures:
46 ;; unsigned long dest_ip;
47 ;; unsigned long src_ip;
48 ;; unsigned short dest_port;
49 ;; unsigned short src_port;
53 ;; unsigned char type;
54 ;; unsigned char opcode;
55 ;; unsigned long length; /* In little endian order */
56 ;; unsigned char id[8]; /* nul-terminated string */
57 ;; unsigned char data[/* (length + 3) & ~3 */];
61 ;; struct header header;
62 ;; unsigned char items;
63 ;; unsigned char filler[3];
64 ;; struct data item[/* items */];
67 ;; The corresponding Lisp bindat specification looks like this:
69 ;; (setq header-bindat-spec
75 ;; (setq data-bindat-spec
78 ;; (length u16r) ;; little endian order
80 ;; (data vec (length))
83 ;; (setq packet-bindat-spec
84 ;; '((header struct header-bindat-spec)
87 ;; (item repeat (items)
88 ;; (struct data-bindat-spec))))
91 ;; A binary data representation may look like
92 ;; [ 192 168 1 100 192 168 1 101 01 28 21 32 2 0 0 0
93 ;; 2 3 5 0 ?A ?B ?C ?D ?E ?F 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 0
94 ;; 1 4 7 0 ?B ?C ?D ?E ?F ?G 0 0 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 0 ]
96 ;; The corresponding decoded structure looks like
99 ;; (dest-ip . [192 168 1 100])
100 ;; (src-ip . [192 168 1 101])
102 ;; (src-port . 5408))
104 ;; (item ((data . [1 2 3 4 5])
109 ;; ((data . [6 7 8 9 10 11 12])
115 ;; To access a specific value in this structure, use the function
116 ;; bindat-get-field with the structure as first arg followed by a list
117 ;; of field names and array indexes, e.g. using the data above,
118 ;; (bindat-get-field decoded-structure 'item 1 'id)
121 ;; Binary Data Structure Specification Format
122 ;; ------------------------------------------
124 ;; We recommend using names that end in `-bindat-spec'; such names
125 ;; are recognized automatically as "risky" variables.
127 ;; The data specification is formatted as follows:
129 ;; SPEC ::= ( ITEM... )
131 ;; ITEM ::= ( [FIELD] TYPE )
132 ;; | ( [FIELD] eval FORM ) -- eval FORM for side-effect only
133 ;; | ( [FIELD] fill LEN ) -- skip LEN bytes
134 ;; | ( [FIELD] align LEN ) -- skip to next multiple of LEN bytes
135 ;; | ( [FIELD] struct SPEC_NAME )
136 ;; | ( [FIELD] union TAG_VAL (TAG SPEC)... [(t SPEC)] )
137 ;; | ( [FIELD] repeat COUNT ITEM... )
139 ;; -- In (eval EXPR), the value of the last field is available in
140 ;; the dynamically bound variable `last'.
142 ;; TYPE ::= ( eval EXPR ) -- interpret result as TYPE
143 ;; | u8 | byte -- length 1
144 ;; | u16 | word | short -- length 2, network byte order
145 ;; | u24 -- 3-byte value
146 ;; | u32 | dword | long -- length 4, network byte order
147 ;; | u16r | u24r | u32r -- little endian byte order.
148 ;; | str LEN -- LEN byte string
149 ;; | strz LEN -- LEN byte (zero-terminated) string
150 ;; | vec LEN -- LEN byte vector
151 ;; | ip -- 4 byte vector
152 ;; | bits LEN -- List with bits set in LEN bytes.
154 ;; -- Note: 32 bit values may be limited by emacs' INTEGER
155 ;; implementation limits.
157 ;; -- Example: `bits 2' will unpack 0x28 0x1c to (2 3 4 11 13)
158 ;; and 0x1c 0x28 to (3 5 10 11 12).
160 ;; FIELD ::= ( eval EXPR ) -- use result as NAME
164 ;; | <omitted> | nil -- LEN = 1
169 ;; TAG ::= LISP_CONSTANT
170 ;; | ( eval EXPR ) -- return non-nil if tag match;
171 ;; current TAG_VAL in `tag'.
173 ;; ARG ::= ( eval EXPR ) -- interpret result as ARG
174 ;; | INTEGER_CONSTANT
177 ;; DEREF ::= ( [NAME | INTEGER]... ) -- Field NAME or Array index relative
178 ;; to current structure spec.
179 ;; -- see bindat-get-field
181 ;; A `union' specification
182 ;; ([FIELD] union TAG_VAL (TAG SPEC) ... [(t SPEC)])
183 ;; is interpreted by evalling TAG_VAL and then comparing that to
184 ;; each TAG using equal; if a match is found, the corresponding SPEC
186 ;; If TAG is a form (eval EXPR), EXPR is evalled with `tag' bound to the
187 ;; value of TAG_VAL; the corresponding SPEC is used if the result is non-nil.
188 ;; Finally, if TAG is t, the corresponding SPEC is used unconditionally.
190 ;; An `eval' specification
191 ;; ([FIELD] eval FORM)
192 ;; is interpreted by evalling FORM for its side effects only.
193 ;; If FIELD is specified, the value is bound to that field.
194 ;; The FORM may access and update `bindat-raw' and `bindat-idx' (see `bindat-unpack').
198 ;; Helper functions for structure unpacking.
199 ;; Relies on dynamic binding of BINDAT-RAW and BINDAT-IDX
