    struct in6_addr * inet6_rth_getaddr (const void * int);
     

    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 ``segments'' to describe addresses and that is the term used here as well. All of the functions are defined in the    #include <netinet/in.h>
    header file. The functions described in this manual page all operate on routing header structures which are defined in    #include <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.

    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.  

    inet6_rth_space

    The 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 argument. When the type is IPV6_RTHDR_TYPE_0 the number of segments must be from 0 through 127. Routing headers of type 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.  

    inet6_rth_init

    The 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 inet6_rth_space ();
    described in the previous sections.

    The inet6_rth_init ();
    function returns a pointer to Fa bp on success and NULL when there is an error.  

    inet6_rth_add

    The inet6_rth_add ();
    function adds the IPv6 address pointed to by Fa addr to the end of the routing header being constructed.

    A successful addition results in the function returning 0, otherwise -1 is returned.  

    inet6_rth_reverse

    The 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.

    The return value of the function is 0 on success, or -1 when there is an error.

    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.  

    inet6_rth_segments

    The 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.  

    inet6_rth_getaddr

    The 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 inet6_rth_segments ();
    function, described in the last section, should be used to determine the total number of segments in the routing header. The inet6_rth_getaddr ();
    function returns a pointer to an IPv6 address on success or NULL when an error has occurred.  

    EXAMPLES

    RFC 3542 gives extensive examples in Section 21, Appendix B.

    KAME also provides examples in the advapitest directory of its kit.  

    DIAGNOSTICS

    The inet6_rth_space ();
    and inet6_rth_getaddr ();
    functions return 0 on errors.

    The inet6_rthdr_init ();
    function returns NULL on error. The inet6_rth_add ();
    and inet6_rth_reverse ();
    functions return 0 on success, or -1 upon an error.
