From bf519367fb335793f2ca63a1ef765ca398602d45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duncan Roe Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2019 14:36:37 +1100 Subject: src: doc: Major re-work of user packet buffer documentation Divide functions into a hierarchy: top-level: Functions all programs that modify data will use 2nd-level: Rarely-used functions 3rd-level: Functions not to use (should have been declared static) Only the top-level functions appear on the "User-space network packet buffer" page, which looks a lot less daunting than it used to. Parameter descriptions all match prototypes All non-void functions have a "Returns" paragraph Code change: pktb_alloc: set errno to EPROTONOSUPPORT before doing error return because protocol is not supported Detailed other updates (top-level) pktb_alloc: - Add "Errors" para - Add "See also" para pktb_data, pktb_len: Add "appropriate use" line pktb_mangle: Add warning to use a different function unless mangling MAC hddr pktb_mangled: Add usage hint line Detailed other updates (2nd-level) pktb_mac_header: Point out only for AF_BRIDGE pktb_tailroom: Point out no dynamic expansion pktb_transport_header: Add note that programmer must code to set this Signed-off-by: Duncan Roe Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso --- src/extra/pktbuff.c | 154 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 117 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/extra/pktbuff.c') diff --git a/src/extra/pktbuff.c b/src/extra/pktbuff.c index f1f8323..26d7ca8 100644 --- a/src/extra/pktbuff.c +++ b/src/extra/pktbuff.c @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ * This code has been sponsored by Vyatta Inc. */ +#include #include #include /* for memcpy */ #include @@ -30,7 +31,8 @@ /** * pktb_alloc - allocate a new packet buffer - * \param family Indicate what family, eg.
