.Nd netgraph ATM utility module
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In netnatm/unimsg.h
.In netgraph/atm/ngatmbase.h
.Ft "struct mbuf *"
.Fn uni_msg_pack_mbuf "struct uni_msg *msg" "void *hdr" "size_t len"
.Ft "struct uni_msg *"
.Fn uni_msg_alloc "size_t len"
.Ft "struct uni_msg *"
.Fn uni_msg_build "void *buf" "..."

.Ft int
.Fn uni_msg_unpack_mbuf "struct mbuf *m" "struct uni_msg *msgp"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This module provides utility functions for the handling of signalling
messages to the NgATM modules.
.Pp
.Fn uni_msg_pack_mbuf
packs a message into one or several
.Vt mbuf Ns s
optionally prepending a header.
The header is given by its address
.Fa hdr
and length
.Fa len .
If
.Fa hdr
is
.Dv NULL
or
.Fa len
equals 0, no header is prepended.
Either
.Fa msg
or
.Fa hdr
may be
.Dv NULL
but not both.
.Fn uni_msg_pack_mbuf
returns a pointer to the allocated
.Vt mbuf
chain or
.Dv NULL
in the case of an error.
.Pp
.Fn uni_msg_alloc
allocates a new message with space for at least
.Fa len
bytes.
In the case of an error
.Dv NULL
is returned.
.Pp
.Fn uni_msg_build
constructs a message from pieces. Each piece is given by a pair of
arguments, the first of type
.Vt "void *
and the second a
.Vt "size_t" .
The list of pieces must be terminated by
.Vt "(void *)" Ns Dv NULL .
.Pp
.Fn uni_msg_destroy
destroyes the messages and frees all the messages's memory.
.Pp
.Fn uni_msg_unpack_mbuf
unpacks an
.Vt mbuf
chain info a
.Vt uni_msg .
A pointer to the newly allocated message is stored in
.Va msgp
and 0 is returned.
In the case of an error (either when no packet header is found
in the first mbuf or memory cannot be allocated) the function
returns an appropriate error code.
