They are called implicitly by the other libraries and usually do not need to be called directly from applications. The I/O framework is modularized and new transport layers can be supported by appropriately defining a .B Sockbuf_IO structure and installing it onto an existing .BR Sockbuf . .B Sockbuf structures are allocated and freed by .BR ber_sockbuf_alloc () and .BR ber_sockbuf_free (), respectively. The .BR ber_sockbuf_ctrl () function is used to get and set options related to a .B Sockbuf or to a specific I/O layer of the .BR Sockbuf . The .BR ber_sockbuf_add_io () and .BR ber_sockbuf_remove_io () functions are used to add and remove specific I/O layers on a .BR Sockbuf . Options for .BR ber_sockbuf_ctrl () include: .TP .B LBER_SB_OPT_HAS_IO Takes a .B Sockbuf_IO * argument and returns 1 if the given handler is installed on the .BR Sockbuf , otherwise returns 0. .TP .B LBER_SB_OPT_GET_FD Retrieves the file descriptor associated to the .BR Sockbuf ; .B arg must be a .BR "ber_socket_t *" . The return value will be 1 if a valid descriptor was present, \-1 otherwise. .TP .B LBER_SB_OPT_SET_FD Sets the file descriptor of the .B Sockbuf to the descriptor pointed to by .BR arg ; .B arg must be a .BR "ber_socket_t *" . The return value will always be 1. .TP .B LBER_SB_OPT_SET_NONBLOCK Toggles the non-blocking state of the file descriptor associated to the .BR Sockbuf . .B arg should be NULL to disable and non-NULL to enable the non-blocking state. The return value will be 1 for success, \-1 otherwise. .TP .B LBER_SB_OPT_DRAIN Flush (read and discard) all available input on the .BR Sockbuf . The return value will be 1. .TP .B LBER_SB_OPT_NEEDS_READ Returns non-zero if input is waiting to be read. .TP .B LBER_SB_OPT_NEEDS_WRITE Returns non-zero if the .B Sockbuf is ready to be written. .TP .B LBER_SB_OPT_GET_MAX_INCOMING Returns the maximum allowed size of an incoming message; .B arg must be a .BR "ber_len_t *" . The return value will be 1. .TP .B LBER_SB_OPT_SET_MAX_INCOMING Sets the maximum allowed size of an incoming message; .B arg must be a .BR "ber_len_t *" . The return value will be 1. .LP Options not in this list will be passed down to each .B Sockbuf_IO handler in turn until one of them processes it. If the option is not handled .BR ber_sockbuf_ctrl () will return 0. .LP Multiple .B Sockbuf_IO handlers can be stacked in multiple layers to provide various functionality. Currently defined layers include .TP .B LBER_SBIOD_LEVEL_PROVIDER the lowest layer, talking directly to a network .TP .B LBER_SBIOD_LEVEL_TRANSPORT an intermediate layer .TP .B LBER_SBIOD_LEVEL_APPLICATION a higher layer .LP Currently defined .B Sockbuf_IO handlers in liblber include .TP .B ber_sockbuf_io_tcp The default stream-oriented provider .TP .B ber_sockbuf_io_fd A stream-oriented provider for local IPC sockets .TP .B ber_sockbuf_io_dgram A datagram-oriented provider. This handler is only present if the liblber library was built with LDAP_CONNECTIONLESS defined. .TP .B ber_sockbuf_io_readahead A buffering layer, usually used with a datagram provider to hide the datagram semantics from upper layers. .TP .B ber_sockbuf_io_debug A generic handler that outputs hex dumps of all traffic. This handler may be inserted multiple times at arbitrary layers to show the flow of data between other handlers. .LP Additional handlers may be present in libldap if support for them was enabled: .TP .B ldap_pvt_sockbuf_io_sasl An application layer handler for SASL encoding/decoding. .TP .B sb_tls_sbio A transport layer handler for SSL/TLS encoding/decoding. Note that this handler is private to the library and is not exposed in the API. .LP The provided handlers are all instantiated implicitly by libldap, and applications generally will not need to directly manipulate them. .SH SEE ALSO .BR lber-decode (3), .BR lber-encode (3), .BR lber-types (3), .BR ldap_get_option (3) .LP .SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .lf 1 ./../Project .\" Shared Project Acknowledgement Text .B "OpenLDAP Software" is developed and maintained by The OpenLDAP Project <http://www.openldap.org/>. .B "OpenLDAP Software" is derived from the University of Michigan LDAP 3.3 Release. .lf 200 stdin
