For specific (D)TLS library support, link with -lcoap-3-notls, -lcoap-3-gnutls, -lcoap-3-openssl, -lcoap-3-mbedtls or -lcoap-3-tinydtls. Otherwise, link with -lcoap-3 to get the default (D)TLS library support.

DESCRIPTION

There are 4 supported string/binary types as follows

/*
 * Coap string data definition
 */
typedef struct coap_string_t {
  size_t length;    /* length of string */
  uint8_t *s;       /* string data */
} coap_string_t;
/*
 * Coap string data definition with const data
 */
typedef struct coap_str_const_t {
  size_t length;    /* length of string */
  const uint8_t *s; /* read-only string data */
} coap_str_const_t;
/*
 * Coap binary data definition
 */
typedef struct coap_binary_t {
  size_t length;    /* length of binary data */
  uint8_t *s;       /* binary data */
} coap_binary_t;
/*
 * Coap binary data definition with const data
 */
typedef struct coap_bin_const_t {
  size_t length;    /* length of binary data */
  const uint8_t *s; /* read-only binary data */
} coap_bin_const_t;

The coap_new_string() function allocates a new coap_string_t of size where s points to uninitialized data of length size with an extra trailing NULL at size + 1. length is set to size.

The coap_delete_string() function is used to delete the coap_string_t created by coap_new_string().

The coap_new_str_const() function allocates a coap_str_const_t of size where s is filled in with data and has a trailing NULL added. length is set to size. s is read-only.

The coap_delete_str_const() function is used to delete the coap_str_const_t created by coap_new_str_const().

The coap_make_str_const() function is used to take some read-only text and uses a static coap_str_const_t for use in different function calls. There are two static entries that are cycled through so that a single function call can call coap_make_str_const() twice.

The coap_string_equal() function is used to compare two different string objects string1 and string2.

The coap_new_binary() function allocates a new coap_binary_t of size where s points to uninitialized data of length size. length is set to size.

The coap_resize_binary() function is used resize the size of s to the new size of new_size. The data between the old length and the new_size is unitialized. length is set to new_size.

The coap_delete_binary() function is used to delete the coap_binary_t created by coap_new_binary().

The coap_new_bin_const() function allocates a coap_bin_const_t of size where s is filled in with in with data and has a trailing NULL added. length is set to size. s is read-only.

The coap_delete_bin_const() function is used to delete the coap_bin_const_t created by coap_new_bin_const().

The coap_binary_equal() function is used to compare two different binary objects binary1 and binary2.

RETURN VALUES

The coap_new_str_const() function returns a pointer to an allocated coap_str_const_t or NULL if there was a failure.

The coap_new_binary() function returns a pointer to an allocated coap_binary_t or NULL if there was a failure.

The coap_resize_binary() function returns a pointer to an re-allocated coap_binary_t or NULL if there was a failure.

The coap_new_bin_const() function returns a pointer to an allocated coap_bin_const_t or NULL if there was a failure.
