.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/socket.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <net/route.h>
|
|

|

.Ft void

|
|
.Fn rtalloc1 "struct sockaddr *sa" "int report" "u_long flags"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The kernel uses a radix tree structure to manage routes for the
|
|
networking subsystem. The
|
|
.Fn rtalloc
|
|
family of routines is used by protocols to query this structure for a
|
|
route corresponding to a particular end-node address, and to cause
|
|
certain protocol\- and interface-specific actions to take place.
|
|
.\" XXX - -mdoc should contain a standard request for getting em and
|
|
.\" en dashes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When a route with the flag
|
|
.Dv RTF_CLONING
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv RTF_PRCLONING
|
|
is retrieved, and the action of those flags is not masked, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
facility automatically generates a new route using information in the
|
|
old route as a template, and in the case of
|
|
.Dv RTF_CLONING ,
|
|
sends an
|
|
.Dv RTM_RESOLVE
|
|
message to the appropriate interface-address route-management routine
|
|
.Pq Fn ifa->ifa_rtrequest .
|
|
.Dv RTF_PRCLONING
|
|
routes are assumed to be managed by the protocol family and no
|
|
resolution requests are made, but all routes generated by the cloning
|
|
process retain a reference to the route from which they were
|
|
generated.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dv RTF_XRESOLVE
|
|
flag is set, then the
|
|
.Dv RTM_RESOLVE
|
|
message is sent instead on the
|
|
.Xr route 4
|
|
socket interface, requesting that an external program resolve the
|
|
address in question and modify the route appropriately.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The default interface is
|
|
.Fn rtalloc .
|
|
Its only argument is
|
|
.Ar ro ,
|
|
a pointer to a
|
|
.Dq Li "struct route" ,
|
|
which is defined as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct route {
|
|
struct sockaddr ro_dst;
|
|
struct rtentry *ro_rt;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
Thus, this function can only be used for address families which are
|
|
smaller than the default
|
|
.Dq Li "struct sockaddr" .
|
|
Before calling
|
|
.Fn rtalloc
|
|
for the first time, callers should ensure that unused bits of the
|
|
structure are set to zero. On subsequent calls,
|
|
.Fn rtalloc
|
|
returns without performing a lookup if
|
|
.Ar ro->ro_rt
|
|
is non-null and the
|
|
.Dv RTF_UP
|
|
flag is set in the route's
|
|
.Li rt_flags
|
|
field.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rtalloc_ign
|
|
interface can be used when the default actions of
|
|
.Fn rtalloc
|
|
in the presence of the
|
|
.Dv RTF_CLONING
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv RTF_PRCLONING
|
|
flags are undesired. The
|
|
.Ar ro
|
|
argument is the same as
|
|
.Fn rtalloc ,
|
|
but there is additionally a
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|
argument, which lists the flags in the route which are to be
|
|
.Em ignored
|
|
(ordinarily, one or both of
|
|
.Dv RTF_CLONING
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv RTF_PRCLONING ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rtalloc1
|
|
function is the most general form of
|
|
.Fn rtalloc
|
|
(and both of the other forms are implemented as calls to rtalloc1).
|
|
It does not use the
|
|
.Dq Li "struct route" ,
|
|
and is therefore suitable for address families which require more
|
|
space than is in a traditional
|
|
.Dq Li "struct sockaddr" .
|
|
Instead, it takes a
|
|
.Dq Li "struct sockaddr *"
|
|
directly as the
|
|
.Ar sa
|
|
argument. The second argument,
|
|
.Ar report ,
|
|
controls whether
|
|
.Dv RTM_RESOLVE
|
|
requests are sent to the lower layers when an
|
|
.Dv RTF_CLONING
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv RTF_PRCLONING
|
|
route is cloned. Ordinarily a value of one should be passed, except
|
|
in the processing of those lower layers which use the cloning
|
|
facility.
|
|
The third argument,
|
|
.Ar flags ,
|
|
is a set of flags to ignore, as in
|
|
.Fn rtalloc_ign .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rtalloc
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn rtalloc_ign
|
|
functions do not return a value. The
|
|
.Fn rtalloc1
|
|
function returns a pointer to a routing-table entry if it succeeds,
|
|
otherwise a null pointer. Lack of a route should in most cases be
|
|
translated to the
|
|
.Xr errno 2
|
|
value
|
|
.Er EHOSTUNREACH .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
facility first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.2 ,
|
|
although with much different internals. The
|
|
.Fn rtalloc_ign
|
|
function and the
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|
argument to
|
|
.Fn rtalloc1
|
|
first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 2.0 .
