These routines are used to manage the low level I/O operations
performed by the Lightweight BER library. They are called
implicitly by the other libraries and usually do not need to be
called directly from applications. The I/O framework is
modularized and new transport layers can be supported by
appropriately defining a Sockbuf_IO structure and installing it
onto an existing Sockbuf. Sockbuf structures are allocated and
freed by ber_sockbuf_alloc() and ber_sockbuf_free(), respectively.
The ber_sockbuf_ctrl() function is used to get and set options
related to a Sockbuf or to a specific I/O layer of the Sockbuf.
The ber_sockbuf_add_io() and ber_sockbuf_remove_io() functions are
used to add and remove specific I/O layers on a Sockbuf.
Options for ber_sockbuf_ctrl() include:
LBER_SB_OPT_HAS_IO
Takes a Sockbuf_IO * argument and returns 1 if the given
handler is installed on the Sockbuf, otherwise returns 0.
LBER_SB_OPT_GET_FD
Retrieves the file descriptor associated to the Sockbuf;
arg must be a ber_socket_t *. The return value will be 1
if a valid descriptor was present, -1 otherwise.
LBER_SB_OPT_SET_FD
Sets the file descriptor of the Sockbuf to the descriptor
pointed to by arg; arg must be a ber_socket_t *. The
return value will always be 1.
LBER_SB_OPT_SET_NONBLOCK
Toggles the non-blocking state of the file descriptor
associated to the Sockbuf. arg should be NULL to disable
and non-NULL to enable the non-blocking state. The return
value will be 1 for success, -1 otherwise.
LBER_SB_OPT_DRAIN
Flush (read and discard) all available input on the
Sockbuf. The return value will be 1.
LBER_SB_OPT_NEEDS_READ
Returns non-zero if input is waiting to be read.
LBER_SB_OPT_NEEDS_WRITE
Returns non-zero if the Sockbuf is ready to be written.
LBER_SB_OPT_GET_MAX_INCOMING
Returns the maximum allowed size of an incoming message;
arg must be a ber_len_t *. The return value will be 1.
LBER_SB_OPT_SET_MAX_INCOMING
Sets the maximum allowed size of an incoming message; arg
must be a ber_len_t *. The return value will be 1.
Options not in this list will be passed down to each Sockbuf_IO
handler in turn until one of them processes it. If the option is
not handled ber_sockbuf_ctrl() will return 0.
Multiple Sockbuf_IO handlers can be stacked in multiple layers to
provide various functionality. Currently defined layers include
LBER_SBIOD_LEVEL_PROVIDER
the lowest layer, talking directly to a network
LBER_SBIOD_LEVEL_TRANSPORT
an intermediate layer
LBER_SBIOD_LEVEL_APPLICATION
a higher layer
Currently defined Sockbuf_IO handlers in liblber include
ber_sockbuf_io_tcp
The default stream-oriented provider
ber_sockbuf_io_fd
A stream-oriented provider for local IPC sockets
ber_sockbuf_io_dgram
A datagram-oriented provider. This handler is only present
if the liblber library was built with LDAP_CONNECTIONLESS
defined.
ber_sockbuf_io_readahead
A buffering layer, usually used with a datagram provider to
hide the datagram semantics from upper layers.
ber_sockbuf_io_debug
A generic handler that outputs hex dumps of all traffic.
This handler may be inserted multiple times at arbitrary
layers to show the flow of data between other handlers.
Additional handlers may be present in libldap if support for them
was enabled:
ldap_pvt_sockbuf_io_sasl
An application layer handler for SASL encoding/decoding.
sb_tls_sbio
A transport layer handler for SSL/TLS encoding/decoding.
Note that this handler is private to the library and is not
exposed in the API.
The provided handlers are all instantiated implicitly by libldap,
and applications generally will not need to directly manipulate
them.
