.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The Berkeley Packet Filter provides a raw interface,
|
|
that is protocol independent,
|
|
to data link layers.
|
|
It allows all packets on the network,
|
|
even those destined for other hosts,
|
|
to be passed from a network interface to user programs.
|
|
Each program may specify a filter,
|
|
in the form of a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
filter machine program.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr bpf 4
|
|
manual page
|
|
describes the interface used by user programs.
|
|
This manual page describes the functions used by interfaces to pass packets to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and the functions for testing and running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
filter machine programs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpfattach
|
|
function
|
|
attaches a network interface to
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa ifp
|
|
argument
|
|
is a pointer to the structure that defines the interface to be
|
|
attached to an interface.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa dlt
|
|
argument
|
|
is the data link-layer type:
|
|
.Dv DLT_NULL
|
|
(no link-layer encapsulation),
|
|
.Dv DLT_EN10MB
|
|
(Ethernet),
|
|
.Dv DLT_IEEE802_11
|
|
(802.11 wireless networks),
|
|
etc.
|
|
The rest of the link layer types can be found in
|
|
.In net/bpf.h .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa hdrlen
|
|
argument
|
|
is the fixed size of the link header;
|
|
variable length headers are not yet supported.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
system will hold a pointer to
|
|
.Fa ifp->if_bpf .
|
|
This variable will set to a
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL
|
|
value when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
requires packets from this interface to be tapped using the functions below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpfattach2
|
|
function
|
|
allows multiple
|
|
.Nm
|
|
instances to be attached to a single interface,
|
|
by registering an explicit
|
|
.Fa if_bpf
|
|
rather than using
|
|
.Fa ifp->if_bpf .
|
|
It is then possible to run
|
|
.Xr tcpdump 1
|
|
on the interface for any data link-layer types attached.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpfdetach
|
|
function detaches a
|
|
.Nm
|
|
instance from an interface,
|
|
specified by
|
|
.Fa ifp .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpfdetach
|
|
function
|
|
should be called once for each
|
|
.Nm
|
|
instance attached.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpf_tap
|
|
function
|
|
is used by an interface to pass the packet to
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
The packet data (including link-header),
|
|
pointed to by
|
|
.Fa pkt ,
|
|
is of length
|
|
.Fa pktlen ,
|
|
which must be a contiguous buffer.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa ifp
|
|
argument
|
|
is a pointer to the structure that defines the interface to be tapped.
|
|
The packet is parsed by each processes filter,
|
|
and if accepted,
|
|
it is buffered for the process to read.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpf_mtap
|
|
function is like
|
|
.Fn bpf_tap
|
|
except that it is used to tap packets that are in an
|
|
.Vt mbuf
|
|
chain,
|
|
.Fa m .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa ifp
|
|
argument
|
|
is a pointer to the structure that defines the interface to be tapped.
|
|
Like
|
|
.Fn bpf_tap ,
|
|
.Fn bpf_mtap
|
|
requires a link-header for whatever data link layer type is specified.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
only reads from the
|
|
.Vt mbuf
|
|
chain,
|
|
it does not free it or keep a pointer to it.
|
|
This means that an
|
|
.Vt mbuf
|
|
containing the link-header
|
|
can be prepended to the chain if necessary.
|
|
A cleaner interface to achieve this is provided by
|
|
.Fn bpf_mtap2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpf_mtap2
|
|
function
|
|
allows the user to pass a link-header
|
|
.Fa data ,
|
|
of length
|
|
.Fa dlen ,
|
|
independent of the
|
|
.Vt mbuf
|
|
.Fa m ,
|
|
containing the packet.
|
|
This simplifies the passing of some link-headers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpf_filter
|
|
function
|
|
executes the filter program starting at
|
|
.Fa pc
|
|
on the packet
|
|
.Fa pkt .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa wirelen
|
|
argument
|
|
is the length of the original packet and
|
|
.Fa buflen
|
|
is the amount of data present.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa buflen
|
|
value of 0 is special; it indicates that the
|
|
.Fa pkt
|
|
is actually a pointer to an mbuf chain
|
|
.Pq Vt "struct mbuf *" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpf_validate
|
|
function
|
|
checks that the filter code
|
|
.Fa fcode ,
|
|
of length
|
|
.Fa flen ,
|
|
is valid.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpf_filter
|
|
function returns \-1
|
|
(cast to an unsigned integer)
|
|
if there is no filter.
|
|
Otherwise, it returns the result of the filter program.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn bpf_validate
|
|
function
|
|
returns 0 when the program is not a valid filter program.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The Enet packet filter was created in 1980 by Mike Accetta and
|
|
Rick Rashid at Carnegie-Mellon University.
|
|
Jeffrey Mogul,
|
|
at Stanford,
|
|
ported the code to
|
|
.Bx
|
|
and continued its development from 1983 on.
|
|
Since then,
|
|
it has evolved into the Ultrix Packet Filter at
|
|
.Tn DEC ,
|
|
a
|
|
.Tn STREAMS
|
|
.Tn NIT
|
|
module under
|
|
.Tn SunOS
|
|
4.1, and
|
|
.Tn BPF .
