The .Vt cmsghdr structure, described in .Xr recvmsg 2 , is used to specify a chain of control messages. .Pp These routines should be used instead of directly accessing the control message header members and data buffers as they ensure that necessary alignment constraints are met. .Pp The following routines are provided: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fn CMSG_DATA cmsg This routine accesses the data portion of the control message header .Fa cmsg . It ensures proper alignment constraints on the beginning of ancillary data are met. -.It Fn CMSG_FIRSTHDR mhdr +.It Fn CMSG_FIRSTHDR msghdr This routine accesses the first control message attached to the message -.Fa msg . +.Fa msghdr . If no control messages are attached to the message, this routine returns .Dv NULL . .It Fn CMSG_LEN len This routine determines the size in bytes of a control message, which includes the control message header. .Fa len specifies the length of the data held by the control message. This value is what is normally stored in the .Fa cmsg_len of each control message. This routine accounts for any alignment constraints on the beginning of ancillary data. -.It Fn CMSG_NXTHDR mhdr cmsg +.It Fn CMSG_NXTHDR msghdr cmsg This routine returns the location of the control message following .Fa cmsg in the message -.Fa mhdr . +.Fa msghdr . If .Fa cmsg is the last control message in the chain, this routine returns .Dv NULL . .It Fn CMSG_SPACE len This routine determines the size in bytes needed to hold a control message and its contents of length .Fa len , which includes the control message header. This value is what is normally stored in .Fa msg_msgcontrollen . This routine accounts for any alignment constraints on the beginning of ancillary data as well as any needed to pad the next control message. .El .Sh EXAMPLES The following example constructs a control message containing a file descriptor in the parent process and passes it over a pre-shared socket over the child process. Then the child process sends a "hello" string to the parent process using the received file descriptor. .Bd -literal #include #include #include #include #include #include #define HELLOLEN sizeof("hello") int main() { struct msghdr msg; union { struct cmsghdr hdr; unsigned char buf[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(int))]; } cmsgbuf; char buf[HELLOLEN]; int hellofd[2]; int presharedfd[2]; struct cmsghdr *cmsg; if (socketpair(PF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0, presharedfd) == -1) err(EX_OSERR, "failed to create a pre-shared socket pair"); memset(&msg, 0, sizeof(msg)); msg.msg_control = &cmsgbuf.buf; msg.msg_controllen = sizeof(cmsgbuf.buf); msg.msg_iov = NULL; msg.msg_iovlen = 0; switch (fork()) { case -1: err(EX_OSERR, "fork"); case 0: close(presharedfd[0]); strlcpy(buf, "hello", HELLOLEN); if (recvmsg(presharedfd[1], &msg, 0) == -1) err(EX_IOERR, "failed to receive a message"); if (msg.msg_flags & (MSG_CTRUNC | MSG_TRUNC)) errx(EX_IOERR, "control message truncated"); for (cmsg = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg); cmsg != NULL; cmsg = CMSG_NXTHDR(&msg, cmsg)) { if (cmsg->cmsg_len == CMSG_LEN(sizeof(int)) && cmsg->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET && cmsg->cmsg_type == SCM_RIGHTS) { hellofd[1] = *(int *)CMSG_DATA(cmsg); printf("child: sending '%s'\n", buf); if (write(hellofd[1], buf, HELLOLEN) == -1) err(EX_IOERR, "failed to send 'hello'"); } } break; default: close(presharedfd[1]); if (socketpair(PF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0, hellofd) == -1) err(EX_OSERR, "failed to create a 'hello' socket pair"); cmsg = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg); cmsg->cmsg_len = CMSG_LEN(sizeof(int)); cmsg->cmsg_level = SOL_SOCKET; cmsg->cmsg_type = SCM_RIGHTS; *(int *)CMSG_DATA(cmsg) = hellofd[1]; if (sendmsg(presharedfd[0], &msg, 0) == -1) err(EX_IOERR, "sendmsg"); close(hellofd[1]); if (read(hellofd[0], buf, HELLOLEN) == -1) err(EX_IOERR, "faild to receive 'hello'"); printf("parent: received '%s'\n", buf); break; } return (0); } .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr recvmsg 2 , .Xr sendmsg 2 , .Xr socket 2 , .Xr ip 4 , .Xr ip6 4 , .Xr unix 4 .Sh STANDARDS .Bl -item .It .Rs .%A W.
