134.Sh DESCRIPTION
135The
136.Nm snmp_netgraph
137module implements a number of tables and scalars that enable remote access to
138the netgraph subsystem.
139It also exports a number of global variables and
140functions, that allow other modules to easily use the netgraph system.
141.Pp
142If upon start up of the module the variable
143.Va begemotNgControlNodeName
144is not empty the module opens a netgraph socket and names that socket node.
145If the variable is empty, the socket is created, as soon as the variable is
146written with a non-empty name.
147The socket can be closed by writing an empty
148string to the variable.
149The socket itself and its name are available in
150.Va snmp_node
151and
152.Va snmp_nodename .
153.Ss SENDING AND RECEIVING MESSAGES AND DATA
154There are three functions for sending control message:
155.Bl -tag -width ".It Fn ng_output_node"
156.It Fn ng_output
157sends a control message along the given
158.Fa path .
159.It Fn ng_output_node
160sends a control message to the node with name
161.Fa node
162and
163.It Fn ng_output_id
164sends a control message to the node with node id
165.Fa id .
166.El
167.Pp
168Each of these functions takes the following arguments:
169.Bl -tag -width ".It Fa cookie"
170.It Fa cookie
171is the node specific command cookie,
172.It Fa opcode
173is the node specific code for the operation to perform,
174.It Fa arg
175is a pointer to the message itself.
176This message must start with a
177.Vt struct ng_mesg .
178.It Fa arglen
179is the overall length of the message (header plus arguments).
180.El
181The functions return the message id that can be used to match incoming responses
182or -1 if an error occurs.
183.Pp
184Another class of functions is used to send a control message and to wait for
185a matching response.
186Note, that this operation blocks the daemon, so use it
187only if you are sure that the response will happen.
188There is a maximum timeout
189that is configurable in the MIB variable
190.Va begemotNgTimeout .
191Other messages arriving while the functions are waiting for the response are
192queued and delivered on the next call to the module's idle function.
193.Bl -tag -width ".It Fn ng_output_node"
194.It Fn ng_dialog
195sends a control message along the given
196.Fa path
197and waits for a matching response.
198.It Fn ng_dialog_node
199sends a control message to the node with name
200.Fa node
201and waits for a matching response.
202.It Fn ng_dialog_id
203sends a control message to the node with id
204.Fa id
205and waits for a matching response.
206.El
207.Pp
208All three functions take the same arguments as the
209.Fn ng_output*
210functions.
211The functions return the response message in a buffer allocated by
212.Xr malloc 3
213or NULL in case of an error.
214The maximum size of the response buffer can be
215configured in the variable
216.Va begemotNgResBufSiz .
217.Pp
218A data message can be send with the function
219.Fn ng_send_data .
220This function takes the name of the
221.Va snmp_node Ns 's
222hook through which to send the data, a pointer to the message buffer and
223the size of the message.
224It returns -1 if an error happens.
225.Ss ASYNCHRONOUS CONTROL AND DATA MESSAGES
226A module can register functions to asynchronously receive control and data
227message.
228.Pp
229The function
230.Fn ng_register_cookie
231registers a control message receive function.
232If a control message is
233received, that is not consumed by the dialog functions, the list of registered
234control message receive functions is scanned.
235If the cookie in the received
236message is the same as the
237.Fa cookie
238argument to the
239.Fn ng_register_cookie
240call and the
241.Fa id
242argument to the
243.Fn ng_register_cookie
244call was either 0 or equals the node id which sent the control message, the
245handler function
246.Fa func
247is called with a pointer to the received message, the hook on which the
248message was received (or NULL if it was received not on a hook), the id
249of the sender's node and the
250.Fa uarg
251argument of the registration call.
252The handler function should not modify
253the contents of the message, because more than one function may be registered
254to the same cookie and node id.
255.Pp
256A control message registration can be undone by calling
257.Fn ng_unregister_cookie
258with the return value of the registration call.
259If an error occurs while registering,
260.Fn ng_register_cookie
261returns NULL.
262.Pp
263A module can call
264.Fn ng_register_hook
265to register a callback for data messages on one of the
266.Va snmp_node Ns 's
267hooks.
268If a data message is received on that hook, the callback function
269.Fa func
270is called with the hook name, a pointer to the data message, the size of
271the message and the argument
272.Fa uarg
273to the registration function.
274The message should be treated as read-only.
275A data message registration can be undone by calling
276.Fn ng_unregister_hook
277with the return value of the registration call.
278If an error occurs while registering,
279.Fn ng_register_hook
280returns NULL.
281.Pp
282The function
283.Fn ng_unregister_module
284removes all control and data registrations for that module.
285.Ss FINDING NODES AND NODE CHARACTERISTICS
286.Pp
287The function
288.Fn ng_node_id
289returns the id of the node addressed by
290.Fa path
291or 0 if the node does not exists.
292.Pp
293The function
294.Fn ng_node_id_node
295returns the id of the node with name
296.Fa node
297or 0 if the node does not exist.
298.Pp
299The function
300.Fn ng_node_node
301retrieves the name of the node with id
302.Fa id
303and writes it to the buffer pointed to by
304.Fa name .
305This buffer should be at least
306.Li NG_NODESIZ
307bytes long.
308The function returns the node id or 0 if the
309node is not found
310.Pp
311The function
312.Fn ng_node_type
313retrieves the name of the node with id
314.Fa id
315and writes it to the buffer pointed to by
316.Fa type .
317This buffer should be at least
318.Li NG_TYPESIZ
319bytes long.
320The function returns the node id or 0 if the
321node is not found.
322.Pp
323The function
324.Fn ng_peer_hook_id
325writes the name of the peer hook of the hook
326.Fa hook
327on the node with
328.Fa id
329to the buffer pointed to by
330.Fa peer_hook .
331The buffer should be at least
332.Li NG_HOOKSIZ
333bytes long.
334The function returns 0 if the node and the hook is found, -1
335otherwise.
336The function skips intermediate tee nodes (see
337.Xr ng_tee 4 ) .
338.Pp
339The function
340.Fn ng_next_node_id
341returns the node id of the peer node that is on the other side of hook
342.Fa hook
343of node
344.Fa id .
345If
346.Fa type
347is not NULL, the function checks, that the peer node's type is
348.Fa type .
349The function skips intermediate tee nodes (see
350.Xr ng_tee 4 ) .
351It returns the node id of the peer node or 0 if an error occurs or the
352types do not match.
353.Ss CHANGING THE GRAPH
354A number of functions can be used to create or destroy nodes and hooks.
355.Pp
356The function
357.Fn ng_mkpeer_id
358creates a new node of type
359.Fa type
360whose hook
361.Fa peerhook
362will be connected to
363.Fa hook
364of node
365.Fa id .
366If
367.Fa name
368is not NULL the new node is named with this name.
369The function returns
370The node id of the new node or 0 if an error happens.
371.Pp
372The functions
373.Fn ng_connect_node
374and
375.Fn ng_connect_id
376make a new hook connecting
377.Fa ourhook
378of the modules socket node
379.Va snmp_node
380to
381.Fa peerhook
382of the node identified by id
383.Fa id
384or name
385.Fa node .
386The functions return 0 on success or -1 otherwise.
387.Pp
388The function
389.Fn ng_connect2_id
390connects hook
391.Fa ourhook
392of the node with id
393.Fa id
394to hook
395.Fa peerhook
396of the node with id
397.Fa peer .
398The functions return 0 on success or -1 otherwise.
399The function
400.Fn ng_connect2_tee_id does the same as
401.Fn ng_connect2_id
402except, that it puts an unnamed tee node between the two nodes.
403.Pp
404The function
405.Fn ng_rmhook
406removes hook
407.Fa hook
408on the module's
409.Va snmp_node .
410The function
411.Fn ng_rmhook_id
412removes hook
413.Fa hook
414on the node with id
415.Fa id .
416The function
417.Fn ng_rmhook_tee_id
418additionally shuts down all tee nodes between the node and the first non-tee
419peer.
420.Pp
421The function
422.Fn ng_shutdown_id
423destroys the given node.
