The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to write new code that uses the non-standard types. I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected. MFC after: 1 month

.Nd Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/socket.h
|
|
.In netinet/in.h
|
|
.In netinet/icmp6.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn socket AF_INET6 SOCK_RAW IPPROTO_ICMPV6
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
ICMPv6 is the error and control message protocol used by IPv6 and the
|
|
IPv6 protocol family (see
|
|
.Xr ip6 4
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr inet6 4 ) .
|
|
It may be accessed through a
|
|
.Dq raw socket
|
|
for network monitoring and diagnostic functions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa proto
|
|
parameter to the
|
|
.Xr socket 2
|
|
call to create an ICMPv6 socket may be obtained from
|
|
.Xr getprotobyname 3 .
|
|
ICMPv6 sockets are connectionless, and are normally used with the
|
|
.Xr sendto 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr recvfrom 2
|
|
calls, though the
|
|
.Xr connect 2
|
|
call may also be used to fix the destination for future packets
|
|
(in which case
|
|
.Xr read 2
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr recv 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr write 2
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr send 2
|
|
system calls may be used).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Outgoing packets automatically have an IPv6 header prepended to them
|
|
(based on the destination address).
|
|
Incoming packets on the socket are received with the IPv6 header and any
|
|
extension headers removed.
|
|
.Ss Types
|
|
ICMPv6 messages are classified according to the type and code fields
|
|
present in the ICMPv6 header.
|
|
The abbreviations for the types and codes may be used in rules in
|
|
.Xr pf.conf 5 .
|
|
The following types are defined:
|
|
.Bl -column x xxxxxxxxxxxx -offset indent

.Ss Headers
|
|
All ICMPv6 messages are prefixed with an ICMPv6 header.
|
|
This header corresponds to the
|
|
.Vt icmp6_hdr
|
|
structure and has the following definition:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct icmp6_hdr {
|
|
uint8_t icmp6_type; /* type field */
|
|
uint8_t icmp6_code; /* code field */
|
|
uint16_t icmp6_cksum; /* checksum field */
|
|
union {
|
|
uint32_t icmp6_un_data32[1]; /* type-specific */
|
|
uint16_t icmp6_un_data16[2]; /* type-specific */
|
|
uint8_t icmp6_un_data8[4]; /* type-specific */
|
|
} icmp6_dataun;
|
|
} __packed;
|
|
|
|
#define icmp6_data32 icmp6_dataun.icmp6_un_data32
|
|
#define icmp6_data16 icmp6_dataun.icmp6_un_data16
|
|
#define icmp6_data8 icmp6_dataun.icmp6_un_data8
|
|
#define icmp6_pptr icmp6_data32[0] /* parameter prob */
|
|
#define icmp6_mtu icmp6_data32[0] /* packet too big */
|
|
#define icmp6_id icmp6_data16[0] /* echo request/reply */
|
|
#define icmp6_seq icmp6_data16[1] /* echo request/reply */
|
|
#define icmp6_maxdelay icmp6_data16[0] /* mcast group membership*/
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Va icmp6_type
|
|
describes the type of the message.
|
|
Suitable values are defined in
|
|
.Aq Pa netinet/icmp6.h .
|
|
.Va icmp6_code
|
|
describes the sub-type of the message and depends on
|
|
.Va icmp6_type .
|
|
.Va icmp6_cksum
|
|
contains the checksum for the message and is filled in by the
|
|
kernel on outgoing messages.
|
|
The other fields are used for type-specific purposes.
|
|
.Ss Filters
|
|
Because of the extra functionality of ICMPv6 in comparison to ICMPv4,
|
|
a larger number of messages may be potentially received on an ICMPv6
|
|
socket.
|
|
Input filters may therefore be used to restrict input to a subset of the
|
|
incoming ICMPv6 messages so only interesting messages are returned by the
|
|
.Xr recv 2
|
|
family of calls to an application.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt icmp6_filter
|
|
structure may be used to refine the input message set according to the
|
|
ICMPv6 type.
|
|
By default, all messages types are allowed on newly created raw ICMPv6
|
|
sockets.
|
|
The following macros may be used to refine the input set:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fn "void ICMP6_FILTER_SETPASSALL" "struct icmp6_filter *filterp"
|
|
Allow all incoming messages.
|
|
.Va filterp
|
|
is modified to allow all message types.
|
|
.It Fn "void ICMP6_FILTER_SETBLOCKALL" "struct icmp6_filter *filterp"
|
|
Ignore all incoming messages.
|
|
.Va filterp
|
|
is modified to ignore all message types.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn ICMP6_FILTER_SETPASS "int type" "struct icmp6_filter *filterp"
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Allow ICMPv6 messages with the given
|
|
.Fa type .
|
|
.Va filterp
|
|
is modified to allow such messages.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn ICMP6_FILTER_SETBLOCK" "int type" "struct icmp6_filter *filterp"
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Ignore ICMPv6 messages with the given
|
|
.Fa type .
|
|
.Va filterp
|
|
is modified to ignore such messages.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn ICMP6_FILTER_WILLPASS" "int type" "const struct icmp6_filter *filterp"
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Determine if the given filter will allow an ICMPv6 message of the given
|
|
type.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn ICMP6_FILTER_WILLBLOCK" "int type" "const struct icmp6_filter *filterp"
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Determine if the given filter will ignore an ICMPv6 message of the given
|
|
type.
|
|
.El

|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr getsockopt 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr setsockopt 2
|
|
calls may be used to obtain and install the filter on ICMPv6 sockets at
|
|
option level
|
|
.Dv IPPROTO_ICMPV6
|
|
and name
|
|
.Dv ICMPV6_FILTER
|
|
with a pointer to the
|
|
.Vt icmp6_filter
|
|
structure as the option value.
