-.br -.B "size_t satoa(struct sa_id sa, int format," -.ti +1c -.B "char *dst, size_t dstlen);" -.sp -.B "struct sa_id {" -.ti +1c -.B "struct in_addr dst;" -.ti +1c -.B "ipsec_spi_t spi;" -.ti +1c -.B "int proto;" -.br -.B "};" -.SH DESCRIPTION -These functions are obsolete; see -.IR ipsec_ttosa (3) -for their replacements. -.PP -.I Atosa -converts an ASCII Security Association (SA) specifier into an -.B sa_id -structure (containing -a destination-host address -in network byte order, -an SPI number in network byte order, and -a protocol code). -.I Satoa -does the reverse conversion, back to an ASCII SA specifier. -.PP -An SA is specified in ASCII with a mail-like syntax, e.g. -.BR esp507@1.2.3.4 . -An SA specifier contains -a protocol prefix (currently -.BR ah , -.BR esp , -or -.BR tun ), -an unsigned integer SPI number, -and an IP address. -The SPI number can be decimal or hexadecimal -(with -.B 0x -prefix), as accepted by -.IR ipsec_atoul (3). -The IP address can be any form accepted by -.IR ipsec_atoaddr (3), -e.g. dotted-decimal address or DNS name. -.PP -As a special case, the SA specifier -.B %passthrough -signifies the special SA used to indicate that packets should be -passed through unaltered. -(At present, this is a synonym for -.BR tun0x0@0.0.0.0 , -but that is subject to change without notice.) -This form is known to both -.I atosa -and -.IR satoa , -so the internal form of -.B %passthrough -is never visible. -.PP -The -.B <freeswan.h> -header file supplies the -.B sa_id -structure, as well as a data type -.B ipsec_spi_t -which is an unsigned 32-bit integer. -(There is no consistency between kernel and user on what such a type -is called, hence the header hides the differences.) -.PP -The protocol code uses the same numbers that IP does. -For user convenience, given the difficulty in acquiring the exact set of -protocol names used by the kernel, -.B <freeswan.h> -defines the names -.BR SA_ESP , -.BR SA_AH , -and -.B SA_IPIP -to have the same values as the kernel names -.BR IPPROTO_ESP , -.BR IPPROTO_AH , -and -.BR IPPROTO_IPIP . -.PP -The -.I srclen -parameter of -.I atosa -specifies the length of the ASCII string pointed to by -.IR src ; -it is an error for there to be anything else -(e.g., a terminating NUL) within that length. -As a convenience for cases where an entire NUL-terminated string is -to be converted, -a -.I srclen -value of -.B 0 -is taken to mean -.BR strlen(src) . -.PP -The -.I dstlen -parameter of -.I satoa -specifies the size of the -.I dst -parameter; -under no circumstances are more than -.I dstlen -bytes written to -.IR dst . -A result which will not fit is truncated. -.I Dstlen -can be zero, in which case -.I dst -need not be valid and no result is written, -but the return value is unaffected; -in all other cases, the (possibly truncated) result is NUL-terminated. -The -.I freeswan.h -header file defines a constant, -.BR SATOA_BUF , -which is the size of a buffer just large enough for worst-case results. -.PP -The -.I format -parameter of -.I satoa -specifies what format is to be used for the conversion. -The value -.B 0 -(not the ASCII character -.BR '0' , -but a zero value) -specifies a reasonable default -(currently -lowercase protocol prefix, lowercase hexadecimal SPI, dotted-decimal address). -The value -.B d -causes the SPI to be generated in decimal instead. -.PP -.I Atosa -returns -.B NULL -for success and -a pointer to a string-literal error message for failure; -see DIAGNOSTICS. -.I Satoa -returns -.B 0 -for a failure, and otherwise -always returns the size of buffer which would -be needed to -accommodate the full conversion result, including terminating NUL; -it is the caller's responsibility to check this against the size of -the provided buffer to determine whether truncation has occurred. -.SH SEE ALSO -ipsec_atoul(3), ipsec_atoaddr(3), inet(3) -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -Fatal errors in -.I atosa -are: -empty input; -input too small to be a legal SA specifier; -no -.B @ -in input; -unknown protocol prefix; -conversion error in -.I atoul -or -.IR atoaddr . -.PP -Fatal errors in -.I satoa -are: -unknown format; unknown protocol code. -.SH HISTORY -Written for the FreeS/WAN project by Henry Spencer. -.SH BUGS -The -.B tun -protocol code is a FreeS/WANism which may eventually disappear. -.PP -The restriction of ASCII-to-binary error reports to literal strings -(so that callers don't need to worry about freeing them or copying them) -does limit the precision of error reporting. -.PP -The ASCII-to-binary error-reporting convention lends itself -to slightly obscure code, -because many readers will not think of NULL as signifying success. -A good way to make it clearer is to write something like: -.PP -.RS -.nf -.B "const char *error;" -.sp -.B "error = atoaddr( /* ... */ );" -.B "if (error != NULL) {" -.B " /* something went wrong */" -.fi -.RE |
