Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text. Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the entire enclosed block.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
RFC2292 IPv6 advanced API defines eight
|
|
functions that the application calls to build and examine a Routing
|
|
header. Four functions build a Routing header:
|
|
.Bl -hang
|
|
.It Fn inet6_rthdr_space
|
|
return #bytes required for ancillary data
|
|
.It Fn inet6_rthdr_init
|
|
initialize ancillary data for Routing header
|
|
.It Fn inet6_rthdr_add
|
|
add IPv6 address & flags to Routing header
|
|
.It Fn inet6_rthdr_lasthop
|
|
specify the flags for the final hop
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Four functions deal with a returned Routing header:
|
|
.Bl -hang
|
|
.It Fn inet6_rthdr_reverse
|
|
reverse a Routing header
|
|
.It Fn inet6_rthdr_segments
|
|
return #segments in a Routing header
|
|
.It Fn inet6_rthdr_getaddr
|
|
fetch one address from a Routing header
|
|
.It Fn inet6_rthdr_getflags
|
|
fetch one flag from a Routing header
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function prototypes for these functions are all in the
|
|
.Aq Li netinet/in.h
|
|
header.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_rthdr_space
|
|
This function returns the number of bytes required to hold a Routing
|
|
header of the specified
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
containing the specified number of
|
|
.Fa segments
|
|
(addresses).
|
|
For an IPv6 Type 0 Routing header, the number
|
|
of segments must be between 1 and 23, inclusive. The return value
|
|
includes the size of the cmsghdr structure that precedes the Routing
|
|
header, and any required padding.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the return value is 0, then either the type of the Routing header
|
|
is not supported by this implementation or the number of segments is
|
|
invalid for this type of Routing header.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note: This function returns the size but does not allocate the space
|
|
required for the ancillary data.
|
|
This allows an application to
|
|
allocate a larger buffer, if other ancillary data objects are
|
|
desired, since all the ancillary data objects must be specified to
|
|
.Xr sendmsg 2
|
|
as a single
|
|
.Li msg_control
|
|
buffer.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_rthdr_init
|
|
This function initializes the buffer pointed to by
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
to contain a
|
|
.Li cmsghdr
|
|
structure followed by a Routing header of the specified
|
|
.Fa type .
|
|
The
|
|
.Li cmsg_len
|
|
member of the
|
|
.Li cmsghdr
|
|
structure is initialized to the
|
|
size of the structure plus the amount of space required by the
|
|
Routing header.
|
|
The
|
|
.Li cmsg_level
|
|
and
|
|
.Li cmsg_type
|
|
members are also initialized as required.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The caller must allocate the buffer and its size can be determined by
|
|
calling
|
|
.Fn inet6_rthdr_space .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon success the return value is the pointer to the
|
|
.Li cmsghdr
|
|
structure, and this is then used as the first argument to the next
|
|
two functions.
|
|
Upon an error the return value is
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_rthdr_add
|
|
This function adds the address pointed to by
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
to the end of the
|
|
Routing header being constructed and sets the type of this hop to the
|
|
value of
|
|
.Fa flags .
|
|
For an IPv6 Type 0 Routing header,
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
must be
|
|
either
|
|
.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_LOOSE
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_STRICT .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Li cmsg_len
|
|
member of the
|
|
.Li cmsghdr
|
|
structure is
|
|
updated to account for the new address in the Routing header and the
|
|
return value of the function is 0.
|
|
Upon an error the return value of
|
|
the function is -1.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_rthdr_lasthop
|
|
This function specifies the Strict/Loose flag for the final hop of a
|
|
Routing header.
|
|
For an IPv6 Type 0 Routing header,
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
must be either
|
|
.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_LOOSE
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_STRICT .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The return value of the function is 0 upon success, or -1 upon an error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Notice that a Routing header specifying
|
|
.Li N
|
|
intermediate nodes requires
|
|
.Li N+1
|
|
Strict/Loose flags.
|
|
This requires
|
|
.Li N
|
|
calls to
|
|
.Fn inet6_rthdr_add
|
|
followed by one call to
|
|
.Fn inet6_rthdr_lasthop .
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_rthdr_reverse
|
|
This function is not yet implemented.
|
|
When implemented, this should behave as follows.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This function takes a Routing header that was received as ancillary
|
|
data
|
|
(pointed to by the first argument,
|
|
.Fa in )
|
|
and writes a new Routing
|
|
header that sends datagrams along the reverse of that route.
|
|
Both
|
|
arguments are allowed to point to the same buffer
|
|
(that is, the reversal can occur in place).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The return value of the function is 0 on success, or -1 upon an
|
|
error.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_rthdr_segments
|
|
This function returns the number of segments
|
|
(addresses)
|
|
contained in
|
|
the Routing header described by
|
|
.Fa cmsg .
|
|
On success the return value is
|
|
between 1 and 23, inclusive.
|
|
The return value of the function is -1 upon an error.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_rthdr_getaddr
|
|
This function returns a pointer to the IPv6 address specified by
|
|
.Fa index
|
|
(which must have a value between 1 and the value returned by
|
|
.Fn inet6_rthdr_segments )
|
|
in the Routing header described by
|
|
.Fa cmsg .
|
|
An
|
|
application should first call
|
|
.Fn inet6_rthdr_segments
|
|
to obtain the number of segments in the Routing header.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon an error the return value of the function is
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_rthdr_getflags
|
|
This function returns the flags value specified by
|
|
.Fa index
|
|
(which must
|
|
have a value between 0 and the value returned by
|
|
.Fn inet6_rthdr_segments )
|
|
in the Routing header described by
|
|
.Fa cmsg .
|
|
For an IPv6 Type 0 Routing header the return value will be either
|
|
.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_LOOSE
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_STRICT .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon an error the return value of the function is -1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note: Addresses are indexed starting at 1, and flags starting at 0,
|
|
to maintain consistency with the terminology and figures in RFC2460.
