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

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions are used to decompose mbuf chains to various data types.
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt mdchain
|
|
structure is used as a working context
|
|
and should be initialized through a call of the
|
|
.Fn mb_initm
|
|
function.
|
|
It has the following fields:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "md_top"
|
|
.It Va "md_top"
|
|
.Pq Vt "struct mbuf *"
|
|
A pointer to the top of the parsed mbuf chain.
|
|
.It Va md_cur
|
|
.Pq Vt "struct mbuf *"
|
|
A pointer to the currently parsed mbuf.
|
|
.It Va md_pas
|
|
.Pq Vt int
|
|
Offset in the current mbuf.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn md_done
|
|
function disposes of an mbuf chain pointed to by the
|
|
.Fa mdp->md_top
|
|
field and sets the field to
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn md_append_record
|
|
appends a new mbuf chain using
|
|
.Va m_nextpkt
|
|
field to form a single linked list of mbuf chains.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa mdp->md_top
|
|
field is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
then this function behaves exactly as the
|
|
.Fn md_initm
|
|
function.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn md_next_record
|
|
function extracts the next mbuf chain and disposes the current one, if any.
|
|
For a new mbuf chain it calls the
|
|
.Fn md_initm
|
|
function.
|
|
If there is no data left the function returns
|
|
.Er ENOENT .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All
|
|
.Fn md_get_*
|
|
functions perform an actual copy of the data from an mbuf chain.
|
|
Functions which have
|
|
.Cm le
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm be
|
|
suffixes will perform conversion to the little\- or big\-endian data formats.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn md_get_mem
|
|
function copies
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
bytes of data specified by the
|
|
.Fa source
|
|
argument from an mbuf chain.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument specifies the method used to perform a copy,
|
|
and can be one of the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv MB_MINLINE"
|
|
.It Dv MB_MSYSTEM
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Fn bcopy
|
|
function.
|
|
.It Dv MB_MUSER
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Xr copyin 9
|
|
function.
|
|
.It Dv MB_MINLINE
|
|
Use an
|
|
.Dq inline
|
|
loop which does not call any function.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa target
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
an actual copy is not performed
|
|
and the function just skips the given number of bytes.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
All
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
functions return zero if successful,
|
|
otherwise an error code is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em Note :
|
|
after failure of any function,
|
|
an mbuf chain is left in the broken state and only the
|
|
.Fn md_done
|
|
function can safely be called to destroy it.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct mdchain *mdp;
|
|
struct mbuf *m;
|
|
uint16_t length;
|
|
uint8_t byte;
|
|
|
|
receive(so, &m);
|
|
md_initm(mdp, m);
|
|
if (md_get_uint8(mdp, &byte) != 0 ||
|
|
md_get_uint16le(mdp, &length) != 0)
|
|
error = EBADRPC;
|
|
mb_done(mdp);
