DESCRIPTION

These functions are used to compose mbuf chains from various data types. The Vt mbchain structure is used as a working context and should be initialized with a call to either Fn mb_init or Fn mb_initm . It has the following fields:

mb_top

(Vt struct mbuf * ) A pointer to the top of constructed mbuf chain.

mb_cur

(Vt struct mbuf * ) A pointer to the currently filled mbuf.

mb_mleft

(Vt int ) Number of bytes left in the current mbuf.

mb_count

(Vt int ) Total number of bytes placed in the mbuf chain.

mb_copy

(Vt mb_copy_t * ) User-defined function to perform a copy into mbuf; useful if any unusual data conversion is necessary.

mb_udata

(Vt void * ) User-supplied data which can be used in the mb_copy function.

Fn mb_done function disposes an mbuf chain pointed to by Fa mbp->mb_top field and sets the field to NULL

Fn mb_detach function returns the value of Fa mbp->mb_top field and sets its value to NULL

Fn mb_fixhdr recalculates the length of an mbuf chain and updates the m_pkthdr.len field of the first mbuf in the chain. It returns the calculated length.

Fn mb_reserve ensures that the object of the length specified by the Fa size argument will fit in the current mbuf (mbuf allocation is performed if necessary), and advances all pointers as if the real data was placed. Returned value will point to the beginning of the reserved space. Note that the size of the object should not exceed MLEN bytes.

All Fn mb_put_* functions perform an actual copy of the data into mbuf chain. Functions which have le or be suffixes will perform conversion to the little- or big-endian data formats.

Fn mb_put_mem function copies Fa size bytes of data specified by the Fa source argument to 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 Fn bcopy function.

MB_MUSER

Use copyin(9) function.

MB_MINLINE

Use an ``inline'' loop which does not call any function.

MB_MZERO

Do not copy any data, but just fill the destination with zero bytes.

MB_MCUSTOM

Call function specified by the Fa mbp->mb_copy field.

RETURN VALUES

All Ft int functions except Fn mb_fixhdr return zero if successful and an error code otherwise.

Note after failure of any function, an mbuf chain is left in the broken state, and only Fn mb_done function can safely be called to destroy it.

EXAMPLES

 struct mbchain *mbp;
 struct mbuf *m;
 
 mb_init(mbp);
 mb_put_uint8(mbp, 33);
 mb_put_uint16le(mbp, length);
 m = m_copym(mbp->mb_top, 0, M_COPYALL, M_WAIT);
 send(m);
 mb_done(mbp);
