  38. .Dt NG_KSOCKET 4
  39. .Os
  40. .Sh NAME
  41. .Nm ng_ksocket
  42. .Nd kernel socket netgraph node type
  43. .Sh SYNOPSIS
  44. .In sys/types.h
  45. .In netgraph/ng_ksocket.h
  46. .Sh DESCRIPTION
  47. A
  48. .Nm ksocket
  49. node is both a netgraph node and a
  50. .Bx
  51. socket.
  52. The
  53. .Nm
  54. node type allows one to open a socket inside the kernel and have
  55. it appear as a Netgraph node.
  56. The
  57. .Nm
  58. node type is the reverse of the socket node type (see
  59. .Xr ng_socket 4 ) :
  60. whereas the socket node type enables the user-level manipulation (via
  61. a socket) of what is normally a kernel-level entity (the associated
  62. Netgraph node), the
  63. .Nm
  64. node type enables the kernel-level manipulation (via a Netgraph node) of
  65. what is normally a user-level entity (the associated socket).
  66. .Pp
  67. A
  68. .Nm
  69. node allows at most one hook connection.
  70. Connecting to the node is
  71. equivalent to opening the associated socket.
  72. The name given to the hook
  73. determines what kind of socket the node will open (see below).
  74. When the hook is disconnected and/or the node is shutdown, the
  75. associated socket is closed.
  76. .Sh HOOKS
  77. This node type supports a single hook connection at a time.
  78. The name of the hook must be of the form
  79. .Em <family>/<type>/<proto> ,
  80. where the
  81. .Em family ,
  82. .Em type ,
  83. and
  84. .Em proto
  85. are the decimal equivalent of the same arguments to
  86. .Xr socket 2 .
  87. Alternately, aliases for the commonly used values are accepted as
  88. well.
  89. For example
  90. .Dv inet/dgram/udp
  91. is a more readable but equivalent version of
  92. .Dv 2/2/17 .
  93. .Pp
  94. Data received into socket is sent out via hook.
  95. Data received on hook is sent out from socket, if the latter is
  96. connected (an
  97. .Dv NGM_KSOCKET_CONNECT
  98. was sent to node before).
  99. If socket is not connected, destination
  100. .Vt "struct sockaddr"
  101. must be supplied in an mbuf tag with cookie
  102. .Dv NGM_KSOCKET_COOKIE
  103. and type
  104. .Dv NG_KSOCKET_TAG_SOCKADDR
  105. attached to data.
  106. Otherwise
  107. .Nm
  108. will return
  109. .Er ENOTCONN
  110. to sender.
  111. .Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
  112. This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
  113. .Bl -tag -width foo
  114. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_BIND
  115. This functions exactly like the
  116. .Xr bind 2
  117. system call.
  118. The
  119. .Vt "struct sockaddr"
  120. socket address parameter should be supplied as an argument.
  121. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_LISTEN
  122. This functions exactly like the
  123. .Xr listen 2
  124. system call.
  125. The backlog parameter (a single 32 bit
  126. .Dv int )
  127. should be supplied as an argument.
  128. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_CONNECT
  129. This functions exactly like the
  130. .Xr connect 2
  131. system call.
  132. The
  133. .Vt "struct sockaddr"
  134. destination address parameter should be supplied as an argument.
  135. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_ACCEPT
  136. Equivalent to the
  137. .Xr accept 2
  138. system call on a non-blocking socket.
  139. If there is a pending connection on the queue,
  140. a new socket and a corresponding cloned node are created.
  141. Returned are the cloned node's ID and a peer name (as
  142. .Vt "struct sockaddr" ) .
  143. If there are no pending connections,
  144. this control message returns nothing,
  145. and a connected node will receive the above message asynchronously,
  146. when a connection is established.
  147. .Pp
  148. A cloned node supports a single hook with an arbitrary name.
  149. If not connected, a node disappears when its parent node is destroyed.
  150. Once connected, it becomes an independent node.
  151. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_GETNAME
  152. Equivalent to the
  153. .Xr getsockname 2
  154. system call.
  155. The name is returned as a
  156. .Vt "struct sockaddr"
  157. in the arguments field of the reply.
  158. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_GETPEERNAME
  159. Equivalent to the
  160. .Xr getpeername 2
  161. system call.
  162. The name is returned as a
  163. .Vt "struct sockaddr"
  164. in the arguments field of the reply.
  165. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_SETOPT
  166. Equivalent to the
  167. .Xr setsockopt 2
  168. system call, except that the option name, level, and value are passed in a
  169. .Vt "struct ng_ksocket_sockopt" .
  170. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_GETOPT
  171. Equivalent to the
  172. .Xr getsockopt 2
  173. system call, except that the option is passed in a
  174. .Vt "struct ng_ksocket_sockopt" .
  175. When sending this command, the
  176. .Dv value
  177. field should be empty; upon return, it will contain the
  178. retrieved value.
  179. .El
  180. .Sh ASCII FORM CONTROL MESSAGES
  181. For control messages that pass a
  182. .Vt "struct sockaddr"
  183. in the argument field, the normal
  184. .Tn ASCII
  185. equivalent of the C structure
  186. is an acceptable form.
  187. For the
  188. .Dv PF_INET
  189. and
  190. .Dv PF_LOCAL
  191. address families, a more convenient form is also used, which is
  192. the protocol family name, followed by a slash, followed by the actual
  193. address.
  194. For
  195. .Dv PF_INET ,
  196. the address is an IP address followed by an optional colon and port number.
  197. For
  198. .Dv PF_LOCAL ,
  199. the address is the pathname as a doubly quoted string.
  200. .Pp
  201. Examples:
  202. .Bl -tag -width "PF_LOCAL"
  203. .It Dv PF_LOCAL
  204. local/"/tmp/foo.socket"
  205. .It Dv PF_INET
  206. inet/192.168.1.1:1234
  207. .It Other
  208. .Dv "\&{ family=16 len=16 data=[0x70 0x00 0x01 0x23] \&}"
  209. .El
  210. .Pp
  211. For control messages that pass a
  212. .Vt "struct ng_ksocket_sockopt" ,
  213. the normal
  214. .Tn ASCII
  215. form for that structure is used.
  216. In the future, more
  217. convenient encoding of the more common socket options may be supported.
  218. .Pp
  219. Setting socket options example:
  220. .Bl -tag -width "PF_LOCAL"
  221. .It Set FIB 2 for a socket (SOL_SOCKET, SO_SETFIB):
  222. .Dv "setopt \&{ level=0xffff name=0x1014 data=[ 2 ] \&}"
  223. .El
  224. .Sh SHUTDOWN
  225. This node shuts down upon receipt of a
  226. .Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
  227. control message, or when the hook is disconnected.
  228. Shutdown of the node closes the associated socket.
