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:- md_top
- (Vt struct mbuf * ) A pointer to the top of the parsed mbuf chain.
- md_cur
- (Vt struct mbuf * ) A pointer to the currently parsed mbuf.
- md_pas
- (Vt int ) Offset in the current mbuf.
The Fn md_done function disposes of an mbuf chain pointed to by the Fa mdp->md_top field and sets the field to NULL
The Fn md_append_record appends a new mbuf chain using m_nextpkt field to form a single linked list of mbuf chains. If the Fa mdp->md_top field is NULL then this function behaves exactly as the Fn md_initm function.
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 .
All Fn md_get_* functions perform an actual copy of the data from an mbuf chain. Functions which have le or be suffixes will perform conversion to the little- or big-endian data formats.
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:
- MB_MSYSTEM
- Use the Fn bcopy function.
- MB_MUSER
- Use the copyin(9) function.
- MB_MINLINE
- Use an ``inline'' loop which does not call any function.
If Fa target is NULL an actual copy is not performed and the function just skips the given number of bytes.
RETURN VALUES
All Ft int functions return zero if successful, otherwise an error code is returned.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.
EXAMPLES
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);
