-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 satot -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 -.B <freeswan.h> -header file defines a constant, -.BR SATOT_BUF , -which is the size of a buffer just large enough for worst-case results. -.PP -The -.I format -parameter of -.I satot -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 or colon-hex address). -The value -.B 'f' -is similar except that the SPI is padded with -.BR 0 s -to a fixed 32-bit width, to ease aligning displayed tables. -.PP -.I Ttosa -returns -.B NULL -for success and -a pointer to a string-literal error message for failure; -see DIAGNOSTICS. -.I Satot -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. -.PP -There is also, temporarily, support for some obsolete -forms of SA specifier which lack the address-family indicator. -.SH SEE ALSO -ipsec_ttoul(3), ipsec_ttoaddr(3), ipsec_samesaid(3), inet(3) -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -Fatal errors in -.I ttosa -are: -empty input; -input too small to be a legal SA specifier; -no -.B @ -in input; -unknown protocol prefix; -conversion error in -.I ttoul -or -.IR ttoaddr . -.PP -Fatal errors in -.I satot -are: -unknown format. -.SH HISTORY -Written for the FreeS/WAN project by Henry Spencer. -.SH BUGS -The restriction of text-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 text-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 = ttosa( /* ... */ );" -.B "if (error != NULL) {" -.B " /* something went wrong */" -.fi -.RE |
