* doxygen: fix a variable name.Eric Leblond2013-03-141-1/+1
| | | | | | Variable name in doxygen description was not correct. Signed-off-by: Eric Leblond <eric@regit.org>
* parse: add mnl_attr_for_each_payloadlibmnl-1.0.3Pablo Neira Ayuso2012-05-182-4/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | This function allows you to parse the payload of the Netlink message. Thus, you can skip the headers and go down to the part of the message you want to parse. This patch has updated the LIBVERSION and it also bumps the version to 1.0.3, in case that someone wants to package some snapshot, not to mess with the new symbol we have added. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* nlmsg: fix valgrind warnings about paddingStephen Hemminger2012-04-191-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | When using mnl_nlmsg_put_extra_header() it pads out the addtional header but only zeros the original size not the padded value. Which cause valgrind to complain about sendto() with uninitialized byte. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* doc: fix wrong comment describing mnl_nlmsg_batch_stop()Sean Robinson2011-03-171-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Sean says: "I did find a discrepancy in the comments versus practice in one function and I have attached a patch fixing those comments to this message." Sligtly mangled by myself. Signed-off-by: Sean Robinson <seankrobinson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: use limits.h headerJan Engelhardt2011-03-051-2/+1
| | | | | | | | values.h is not present on other systems, and the glibc copy reads right away: Old compatibility names for <limits.h> and <float.h> constants. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
* doc: don't show up EXPORT_SYMBOL in doxygenPablo Neira Ayuso2011-02-035-86/+135
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patrick reports that the doxygen output shows up EXPORT_SYMBOL and tells how to fix this: > I just noticed the EXPORT_SYMBOLs in libmnl showing up in > the doxygen output. Just in case you want to avoid this, > what I'm doing in libdect is (besides the appopriate linker > flags): > > #define __visible __attribute__((visibility("default"))) > > #define EXPORT_SYMBOL(x) typeof(x) (x) __visible > > > This allows to use EXPORT_SYMBOL as in the kernel, IOW > after the function definition. This patch also removes -Wredundant-decls to avoid a warning in every single use of this new approach. Now, this looks more like the Linux kernel way of exporting symbols.

* nlmsg: add new message batching infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso2010-12-172-0/+193
| | | | | | | | | This patch adds the new message batching infrastructure that allows to store several messages into one single datagram. This patch includes an example for ctnetlink. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* attr: add put function that allows to check buffer sizePablo Neira Ayuso2010-12-172-0/+182
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a set of function that allows to check the size of the buffer. This is useful for attribute batching. This is strongly based on a patch from Jozsef. Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* callback: use of inline in mnl_cb_run*() functionPablo Neira Ayuso2010-12-121-35/+44
| | | | | | | | | This patch defines a new function __mnl_cb_run() which is inlined in mnl_cb_run() and mnl_cb_run2(). This patch increases the size of the library in ~1KB. IIRC, Davem suggested this during the Netfilter Workshop. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* attr: add mnl_attr_nest_cancel()Pablo Neira Ayuso2010-11-222-0/+14
| | | | | | | This patch adds mnl_attr_nest_cancel() that allows to cancel the current nest that we are building. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* add libmnl.map file to src/Makefile.amPablo Neira Ayuso2010-11-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | This fixes `make distcheck'. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* nlmsg: remove unused function mnl_nlmsg_aligned_size()Jan Engelhardt2010-11-191-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | With the new CFLAGS, a notification pops up: nlmsg.c:64:8: warning: no previous prototype for "mnl_nlmsg_aligned_size" Marking it thus as static reveals it can be removed. nlmsg.c:64:15: warning: "mnl_nlmsg_aligned_size" defined but not used Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

* nlmsg: remove unexisting mnl_nlmsg_total_sizePablo Neira Ayuso2010-11-191-1/+0
| | | | | | | Remove function whose implementation does not exist. It seems to me like a leftover from the early days of the library. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* license: change licensing terms from GPLv2+ to LGPLv2.1+Pablo Neira Ayuso2010-11-194-8/+11

* socket: propagate sendto/recvmsg's return typesJan Engelhardt2010-11-161-3/+5
| | | | | | | sendto/recvfrom return ssize_t, so libmnl should not truncate the result range. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
* attr: avoid multiple definition of hidden variableJan Engelhardt2010-11-161-12/+5
| | | | | | | | | | When nesting two mnl_attr_for_each loops, the __len__ variable will be declared twice, eliciting a warning when -Wshadow is turned on. There can also be warnings in pre-C99 because declarations and code are mixed. Do without any temporaries that are not explicitly specified as macro parameters. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
* src: implement both GCC visibility support and export scriptCristian Rodríguez2010-11-152-2/+61

* attr: remove redundant check for NULLJan Engelhardt2010-11-111-2/+2

* nlmsg: rework mnl_nlmsg_fprintfPablo Neira Ayuso2010-11-071-24/+132
| | | | | | | | This patch reworks mnl_nlmsg_fprintf. It breaks backward compatibility of this function, there was no way to improve it without doing so (and we are still in time to break thing, BTW). Signed-off-bu: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* attr: rename str_null from NULL awayJan Engelhardt2010-10-251-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | A small little pedantism: NULL (as in, the pointer) isn't NUL (as in, the character with value zero, '\0'). I propose to rename it to strz, for the zero-terminated string (sometimes referred to as ASCIZ string, but of course C isn't tied to ASCII).

* socket: use more appropriate types for mnl_socket_bindJan Engelhardt2010-10-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | groups, being a bitmask, should be unsigned; and let's also use pid_t for pid. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
* callback: mnl_cb_run should use a void *Jan Engelhardt2010-10-221-3/+3
| | | | | | Because in most cases, it won't be a nul-terminated string :) Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
* attr: string functions should take char *Jan Engelhardt2010-10-221-2/+2
| | | | | | | | I do not quite see the point of using strlen in conjunction with non-string data; so let's use char * as argument types to catch misuses. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>

* doc: git tree update (now at netfilter.org) and fix listing in doxygenPablo Neira Ayuso2010-10-211-7/+7
| | | | | | | | This patch update the git tree address (now at netfilter.org) and it also fixes a minor problem with the doxygen output in one of the socket helpers. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: define MNL_SOCKET_BUFFER_SIZE to 8192ULPablo Neira Ayuso2010-10-211-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Davem spotted during the Netfilter Workshop that user-space applications should use 8KB buffers for recv(). I accidentally found that NFLOG is not following this approach (in this case we're using 131072 bytes messages), we have to document this. Anyway, according to linux/netlink.h (and to complete this log message): "skb should fit one page. This choice is good for headerless malloc. But we should limit to 8K so that userspace does not have to use enormous buffer sizes on recvmsg() calls just to avoid MSG_TRUNC when PAGE_SIZE is very large." Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* build: remove unneeded -dynamic -ldl -nostartfiles flagsJan Engelhardt2010-10-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Besides that -ldl should be in _LDADD (not _LDFLAGS), I do not see any dlopen calls at all that would make the library a requirement. I also see no reason to use -Wc,-nostartfiles. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
* build: resolve compiler warningsJan Engelhardt2010-10-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | nlmsg.c: In function "mnl_nlmsg_fprintf": nlmsg.c:260:4: warning: format "%.3d" expects type "int", but argument 3 has type "size_t" Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
* build: run autoupdateJan Engelhardt2010-10-191-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Macro usage has changed over the last few years. Update it to the current specification using autoupdate(1). Manually update INCLUDES -> CPPFLAGS, because autoupdate did not catch that. Remove $(all_includes) and $(LIBS) because it is not used anywhere. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>

* skip PortID and sequence checking if zeroPablo Neira Ayuso2010-09-081-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | If the portID/sequence number that we specify is zero, we skip the sequence tracking. This is useful if we use the same socket to listen to events and to send commands and receive their result. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* socket: remove mnl_socket_sendmsg() and mnl_socket_recvmsg()Pablo Neira Ayuso2010-06-251-30/+0
| | | | | | | | These functions are too simple wrappers that bloat the library. We can use mnl_socket_get_fd() to obtain the file descriptor and invoke message-oriented system call instead. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

* relax mnl_attr_type_valid() checkings and change errno valuePablo Neira Ayuso2010-05-091-1/+6
| | | | | | | | This patch relaxes strict attribute checkings in the example files. I have also changed the errno value, now it's EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* change errno values for mnl_cb_run[2]()Pablo Neira Ayuso2010-05-071-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the errno value of mnl_cb_run[2]() in the following two cases: * Invalid expected portID: ESRCH. * Invalid sequence number: EPROTO. I didn't find any better generic errno value. EINVAL is reserved for malformed messages, to avoid confusions. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
