4# This is an example that shows how to send ASCII formatted control
5# messages to a node using ngctl(8).
6#
7# What we will do here create a divert(4) tap.  This simply dumps
8# out all packets diverted by some ipfw(8) divert rule to the console.
9#
10# Lines that begin with ``$'' (shell prompt) or ``+'' (ngctl prompt)
11# indicate user input
12#
13
14# First, start up ngctl in interactive mode:
15
16    $ ngctl
17    Available commands:
18      connect    Connects hook <peerhook> of the node at <relpath> to <hook>
19      debug      Get/set debugging verbosity level
20      help       Show command summary or get more help on a specific command
21      list       Show information about all nodes
22      mkpeer     Create and connect a new node to the node at "path"
23      msg        Send a netgraph control message to the node at "path"
24      name       Assign name <name> to the node at <path>
25      read       Read and execute commands from a file
26      rmhook     Disconnect hook "hook" of the node at "path"
27      show       Show information about the node at <path>
28      shutdown   Shutdown the node at <path>
29      status     Get human readable status information from the node at <path>
30      types      Show information about all installed node types
31      quit       Exit program
32    +
33
34# Now let's create a ng_ksocket(4) node, in the family PF_DIVERT,
35# of type SOCK_RAW:
36
37    + mkpeer ksocket foo divert/raw/0
38
39# Note that ``foo'' is the hook name on the socket node, which can be
40# anything.  The ``inet/raw/divert'' is the hook name on the ksocket
41# node, which tells it what kind of socket to create.
42
43# Lets give our ksocket node a global name.  How about ``fred'':
44
45    + name foo fred
46
47# Note that we used ngctl's ``name'' command to do this.  However,
48# the following manually constructed netgraph message would have
49# accomplished the exact same thing:
50
51    + msg foo name { name="fred" }
52
53# Here we are using the ASCII <-> binary control message conversion
54# routines.  ngctl does this for us automatically when we use the
55# ``msg'' command.
56
57# Now lets bind the socket associated with the ksocket node to a port
58# supplied by the system.  We do this by sending the ksocket node a
59# ``bind'' control message.  Again, ngctl does the conversion of the
60# control message from ASCII to binary behind the scenes.
61
62    + msg fred: bind inet/192.168.1.1
63
64# The ksocket accepts arbitrary sockaddr structures, but also has
65# special support for the PF_LOCAL and PF_INET protocol families.
66# That is why we can specify the struct sockaddr argument to the
67# ``bind'' command as ``inet/192.168.1.1'' (since we didn't specify
68# a port number, it's assumed to be zero).  We could have also
69# relied on the generic sockaddr syntax and instead said this:
70
71    + msg fred: bind { family=2 len=16 data=[ 2=192 168 1 1 ] }
72
73# This is what you would have to do for protocol families other
74# that PF_INET and PF_LOCAL, at least until special handling for
75# new ones is added.
76
77# The reason for the ``2=192'' is to skip the two byte IP port number,
78# which causes it to be set to zero, the default value for integral
79# types when parsing.  Now since we didn't ask for a specific port
80# number, we need to do a ``getname'' to see what port number we got:
81
82    + msg fred: getname
83    Rec'd response "getname" (5) from "fred:":
84    Args:   inet/192.168.1.1:1029
85
86# As soon as we sent the message, we got back a response.  Here
87# ngctl is telling us that it received a control message with the
88# NGF_RESP (response) flag set, the response was to a prior ``getname''
89# control message, that the originator was the node addressable
90# as ``fred:''.  The message arguments field is then displayed to
91# us in its ASCII form.  In this case, what we get back is a struct
92# sockaddr, and there we see that our port number is 1029.
93
94# So now let's add the ipfw divert rule for whatever packets we
95# want to see.  How about anything from 192.168.1.129.
96
97    + ^Z
98    Suspended
99    $ ipfw add 100 divert 1029 ip from 192.168.1.129 to any
100    00100 divert 1029 ip from 192.168.1.129 to any
101    $ fg
102
103# Now watch what happens when we try to ping from that machine:

124
125# So we're seeing the output from the ksocket socket appear on the ``foo''
126# hook of ngctl's socket node.  Since the packets are getting diverted,
127# the 192.168.1.129 machine doesn't see any response from us.
128

132    + msg bar connect inet/192.168.1.33:13
133    ngctl: send msg: Operation now in progress

143    + msg bar bind local/"/tmp/bar.socket"
144    +
145
146# Here's an example of a more complicated ASCII control message argument.
147# If you look in /sys/netgraph/ng_message.h, you will see that a node
148# responds to a NGM_LISTHOOKS with a struct hooklist, which contains
149# an array of struct linkinfo:
150#
151#     /* Structure used for NGM_LISTHOOKS */
152#     struct linkinfo {
153#             char            ourhook[NG_HOOKSIZ];        /* hook name */
154#             char            peerhook[NG_HOOKSIZ];       /* peer hook */
155#             struct nodeinfo nodeinfo;
156#     };
157#
158#     struct hooklist {
159#             struct nodeinfo nodeinfo;               /* node information */
160#             struct linkinfo link[0];                /* info about each hook */
161#     };
162#
163# By sending a node the ``listhooks'' command using ngctl, we can see
164# this structure in ASCII form (lines wrapped for readability):
165
166    + msg bar bind local/"/tmp/bar.socket"
167    + msg bar listhooks
168    Rec'd response "listhooks" (7) from "bar":
169    Args:   { nodeinfo={ type="ksocket" id=9 hooks=1 }
170	    linkinfo=[ { ourhook="local/stream/0" peerhook="bar"
171	    nodeinfo={ name="ngctl1327" type="socket" id=8 hooks=1 } } ] }
