DESCRIPTION

route_msg_create() creates a new, empty route_msg object.

route_msg_destroy() destroys the object pointed to by *msgp. Upon return, *msgp will be set to NULL. If *msgp is already NULL when route_msg_destroy() is invoked, nothing happens.

The route_msg_get_XXX() and route_msg_set_XXX() routines allow reading and changing the attributes associated with a route_msg object.

route_msg_decode() decodes routing messages from data encoded in the format used when communicating over kernel routing sockets. The encoded data is pointed to by data and has length dlen. Zero or more route_msg objects are constructed and pointed to by the elements of a newly allocated array of pointers. The length of the array is returned by route_msg_decode() and a pointer to the array is stored in *listp. The array itself is allocated with typed_mem(3) type mtype, and the caller is responsible for eventually freeing it (as well as destroying the individudal route_msg objects). If the encoded data is invalid, -1 is returned with errno set to EINVAL.

route_msg_encode() encodes a route_msg object into the format used when communicating over kernel routing sockets. The resulting data is stored in the buffer pointed to by data, which must have length at least dlen. If the encoding does not fit in dlen bytes, -1 is returned with errno set to EMSGSIZE. Otherwise, the number of bytes actually written into data is returned.

route_msg_print() prints out a route_msg object to the stream fp for debugging purposes.

route_msg_send() encodes and writes the route_msg object to the routing socket descriptor sock.

route_msg_recv reads the next packet from the routing socket descriptor sock and decodes route_msg objects from the data read. The listp and mtype parameters are the same as with route_msg_decode().
