There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The IPv6 Advanced API, RFC 3542, defines the functions that an
|
|
application calls to build and examine IPv6 Routing headers.
|
|
Routing headers are used to perform source routing in IPv6 networks.
|
|
The RFC uses the word
|
|
.Dq segments
|
|
to describe addresses and that is the term used here as well.
|
|
All of the functions are defined in the
|
|
.In netinet/in.h
|
|
header file.
|
|
The functions described in this manual page all operate
|
|
on routing header structures which are defined in
|
|
.In netinet/ip6.h
|
|
but which should not need to be modified outside the use of this API.
|
|
The size and shape of the route header structures may change, so using
|
|
the APIs is a more portable, long term, solution.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The functions in the API are split into two groups, those that build a
|
|
routing header and those that parse a received routing header.
|
|
We will describe the builder functions followed by the parser functions.
|
|
.Ss inet6_rth_space
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_space
|
|
function returns the number of bytes required to hold a Routing Header
|
|
of the type, specified in the
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument and containing the number of addresses specified in the
|
|
.Fa segments
|
|
argumment.
|
|
When the type is
|
|
.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_TYPE_0
|
|
the number of segments must be from 0 through 127.
|
|
Routing headers of type
|
|
.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_TYPE_2
|
|
contain only one segment, and are only used with Mobile IPv6.
|
|
The return value from this function is the number of bytes required to
|
|
store the routing header.
|
|
If the value 0 is returned then either the
|
|
route header type was not recognized or another error occurred.
|
|
.Ss inet6_rth_init
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_init
|
|
function initializes the pre-allocated buffer pointed to by
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
to contain a routing header of the specified type The
|
|
.Fa bp_len
|
|
argument is used to verify that the buffer is large enough.
|
|
The caller must allocate the buffer pointed to by bp.
|
|
The necessary buffer size should be determined by calling
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_space
|
|
described in the previous sections.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_init
|
|
function returns a pointer to
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
on success and
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
when there is an error.
|
|
.Ss inet6_rth_add
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_add
|
|
function adds the IPv6 address pointed to by
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
to the end of the routing header being constructed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A successful addition results in the function returning 0, otherwise
|
|
\-1 is returned.
|
|
.Ss inet6_rth_reverse
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_reverse
|
|
function takes a routing header, pointed to by the
|
|
argument
|
|
.Fa in ,
|
|
and writes a new routing header into the argument pointed to by
|
|
.Fa out .
|
|
The routing header at that sends datagrams along the reverse of that
|
|
route.
|
|
Both arguments are allowed to point to the same buffer meaning
|
|
that the reversal can occur in place.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The return value of the function is 0 on success, or \-1 when
|
|
there is an error.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The next set of functions operate on a routing header that the
|
|
application wants to parse.
|
|
In the usual case such a routing header
|
|
is received from the network, although these functions can also be
|
|
used with routing headers that the application itself created.
|
|
.Ss inet6_rth_segments
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_segments
|
|
function returns the number of segments contained in the
|
|
routing header pointed to by
|
|
.Fa bp .
|
|
The return value is the number of segments contained in the routing
|
|
header, or \-1 if an error occurred.
|
|
It is not an error for 0 to be
|
|
returned as a routing header may contain 0 segments.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Ss inet6_rth_getaddr
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_getaddr
|
|
function is used to retrieve a single address from a routing header.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa index
|
|
is the location in the routing header from which the application wants
|
|
to retrieve an address.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa index
|
|
parameter must have a value between 0 and one less than the number of
|
|
segments present in the routing header.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_segments
|
|
function, described in the last section, should be used to determine
|
|
the total number of segments in the routing header.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_getaddr
|
|
function returns a pointer to an IPv6 address on success or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
when an error has occurred.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_space
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_getaddr
|
|
functions return 0 on errors.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rthdr_init
|
|
function returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on error.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_add
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn inet6_rth_reverse
|
|
functions return 0 on success, or \-1 upon an error.
