39.Dt NG_KSOCKET 4
40.Os
41.Sh NAME
42.Nm ng_ksocket
43.Nd kernel socket netgraph node type
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.In netgraph/ksocket/ng_ksocket.h
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47A
48.Nm ksocket
49node is both a netgraph node and a
50.Bx
51socket.  The
52.Nm
53node type allows one to open a socket inside the kernel and have
54it appear as a Netgraph node.  The
55.Nm
56node type is the reverse of the socket node type (see
57.Xr ng_socket 4 ) :
58whereas the socket node type enables the user-level manipulation (via
59a socket) of what is normally a kernel-level entity (the associated
60Netgraph node), the
61.Nm
62node type enables the kernel-level manipulation (via a Netgraph node) of
63what is normally a user-level entity (the associated socket).
64.Pp
65A
66.Nm
67node allows at most one hook connection.  Connecting to the node is
68equivalent to opening the associated socket.  The name given to the hook
69determines what kind of socket the node will open (see below).
70When the hook is disconnected and/or the node is shutdown, the
71associated socket is closed.
72.Sh HOOKS
73This node type supports a single hook connection at a time.
74The name of the hook must be of the form
75.Em <family>/<type>/<proto> ,
76where the
77.Em family ,
78.Em type ,
79and
80.Em proto
81are the decimal equivalent of the same arguments to
82.Xr socket 2 .
83Alternately, aliases for the commonly used values are accepted as
84well.  For example
85.Dv inet/dgram/udp
86is a more readable but equivalent version of
87.Dv 2/2/17 .
88.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
89This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
90.Bl -tag -width foo
91.It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_BIND
92This functions exactly like the
93.Xr bind 2
94system call.  The
95.Dv "struct sockaddr"
96socket address parameter should be supplied as an argument.
97.It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_LISTEN
98This functions exactly like the
99.Xr listen 2
100system call.  The backlog parameter (a single 32 bit
101.Dv int )
102should be supplied as an argument.
103.It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_CONNECT
104This functions exactly like the
105.Xr connect 2
106system call.  The
107.Dv "struct sockaddr"
108destination address parameter should be supplied as an argument.
109.It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_ACCEPT
110Currently unimplemented.
111.It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_GETNAME
112Equivalent to the
113.Xr getsockname 2
114system call.  The name is returned as a
115.Dv "struct sockaddr"
116in the arguments field of the reply.
117.It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_GETPEERNAME
118Equivalent to the
119.Xr getpeername 2
120system call.  The name is returned as a
121.Dv "struct sockaddr"
122in the arguments field of the reply.
123.It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_SETOPT
124Equivalent to the
125.Xr setsockopt 2
126system call, except that the option name, level, and value are passed in a
127.Dv "struct ng_ksocket_sockopt" .
128.It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_GETOPT
129Equivalent to the
130.Xr getsockopt 2
131system call, except that the option is passed in a
132.Dv "struct ng_ksocket_sockopt" .
133When sending this command, the
134.Dv value
135field should be empty; upon return, it will contain the
136retrieved value.
137.El
138.Sh ASCII FORM CONTROL MESSAGES
139For control messages that pass a
140.Dv "struct sockaddr"
141in the argument field, the normal
142.Tn ASCII
143equivalent of the C structure
144is an acceptable form.  For the
145.Dv PF_INET
146and
147.Dv PF_LOCAL
148address families, a more convenient form is also used, which is
149the protocol family name, followed by a slash, followed by the actual
150address.  For
151.Dv PF_INET ,
152the address is an IP address followed by an optional colon and port number.
153For
154.Dv PF_LOCAL ,
155the address is the pathname as a doubly quoted string.
156.Pp
157Examples:
158.Bl -tag -width XXXXXXXXXX
159.It Dv PF_LOCAL
160local/"/tmp/foo.socket"
161.It Dv PF_INET
162inet/192.168.1.1:1234
163.It Other
164.Dv "\&{ family=16 len=16 data=[0x70 0x00 0x01 0x23] \&}"
165.El
166.Pp
167For control messages that pass a
168.Dv "struct ng_ksocket_sockopt" ,
169the normal
170.Tn ASCII
171form for that structure is used.  In the future, more
172convenient encoding of the more common socket options may be supported.
173.Sh SHUTDOWN
174This node shuts down upon receipt of a
175.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
176control message, or when the hook is disconnected.
177Shutdown of the node closes the associated socket.

183.Sh HISTORY
184The
185.Nm
186node type was implemented in
187.Fx 4.0 .
