132.Sh DESCRIPTION
133The
134.Nm snmp_netgraph
135module implements a number of tables and scalars that enable remote access to
136the netgraph subsystem.
137It also exports a number of global variables and
138functions, that allow other modules to easily use the netgraph system.
139.Pp
140If upon start up of the module the variable
141.Va begemotNgControlNodeName
142is not empty the module opens a netgraph socket and names that socket node.
143If the variable is empty, the socket is created, as soon as the variable is
144written with a non-empty name.
145The socket can be closed by writing an empty
146string to the variable.
147The socket itself and its name are available in
148.Va snmp_node
149and
150.Va snmp_nodename .
151.Ss SENDING AND RECEIVING MESSAGES AND DATA
152There are three functions for sending control message:
153.Bl -tag -width ".It Fn ng_output_node"
154.It Fn ng_output
155sends a control message along the given
156.Fa path .
157.It Fn ng_output_node
158sends a control message to the node with name
159.Fa node
160and
161.It Fn ng_output_id
162sends a control message to the node with node id
163.Fa id .
164.El
165.Pp
166Each of these functions takes the following arguments:
167.Bl -tag -width ".It Fa cookie"
168.It Fa cookie
169is the node specific command cookie,
170.It Fa opcode
171is the node specific code for the operation to perform,
172.It Fa arg
173is a pointer to the message itself.
174This message must start with a
175.Vt struct ng_mesg .
176.It Fa arglen
177is the overall length of the message (header plus arguments).
178.El
179The functions return the message id that can be used to match incoming responses
180or -1 if an error occurs.
181.Pp
182Another class of functions is used to send a control message and to wait for
183a matching response.
184Note, that this operation blocks the daemon, so use it
185only if you are sure that the response will happen.
186There is a maximum timeout
187that is configurable in the MIB variable
188.Va begemotNgTimeout .
189Other messages arriving while the functions are waiting for the response are
190queued and delivered on the next call to the module's idle function.
191.Bl -tag -width ".It Fn ng_output_node"
192.It Fn ng_dialog
193sends a control message along the given
194.Fa path
195and waits for a matching response.
196.It Fn ng_dialog_node
197sends a control message to the node with name
198.Fa node
199and waits for a matching response.
200.It Fn ng_dialog_id
201sends a control message to the node with id
202.Fa id
203and waits for a matching response.
204.El
205.Pp
206All three functions take the same arguments as the
207.Fn ng_output*
208functions.
209The functions return the response message in a buffer allocated by
210.Xr malloc 3
211or NULL in case of an error.
212The maximum size of the response buffer can be
213configured in the variable
214.Va begemotNgResBufSiz .
215.Pp
216A data message can be send with the function
217.Fn ng_send_data .
218This function takes the name of the
219.Va snmp_node Ns 's
220hook through which to send the data, a pointer to the message buffer and
221the size of the message.
222It returns -1 if an error happens.
223.Ss ASYNCHRONOUS CONTROL AND DATA MESSAGES
224A module can register functions to asynchronously receive control and data
225message.
226.Pp
227The function
228.Fn ng_register_cookie
229registers a control message receive function.
230If a control message is
231received, that is not consumed by the dialog functions, the list of registered
232control message receive functions is scanned.
233If the cookie in the received
234message is the same as the
235.Fa cookie
236argument to the
237.Fn ng_register_cookie
238call and the
239.Fa id
240argument to the
241.Fn ng_register_cookie
242call was either 0 or equals the node id which sent the control message, the
243handler function
244.Fa func
245is called with a pointer to the received message, the hook on which the
246message was received (or NULL if it was received not on a hook), the id
247of the sender's node and the
248.Fa uarg
249argument of the registration call.
250The handler function should not modify
251the contents of the message, because more than one function may be registered
252to the same cookie and node id.
253.Pp
254A control message registration can be undone by calling
255.Fn ng_unregister_cookie
256with the return value of the registration call.
257If an error occurs while registering,
258.Fn ng_register_cookie
259returns NULL.
260.Pp
261A module can call
262.Fn ng_register_hook
263to register a callback for data messages on one of the
264.Va snmp_node Ns 's
265hooks.
266If a data message is received on that hook, the callback function
267.Fa func
268is called with the hook name, a pointer to the data message, the size of
269the message and the argument
270.Fa uarg
271to the registration function.
272The message should be treated as read-only.
273A data message registration can be undone by calling
274.Fn ng_unregister_hook
275with the return value of the registration call.
276If an error occurs while registering,
277.Fn ng_register_hook
278returns NULL.
279.Pp
280The function
281.Fn ng_unregister_module
282removes all control and data registrations for that module.
283.Ss FINDING NODES AND NODE CHARACTERISTICS
284The function
285.Fn ng_node_id
286returns the id of the node addressed by
287.Fa path
288or 0 if the node does not exists.
289.Pp
290The function
291.Fn ng_node_id_node
292returns the id of the node with name
293.Fa node
294or 0 if the node does not exist.
295.Pp
296The function
297.Fn ng_node_node
298retrieves the name of the node with id
299.Fa id
300and writes it to the buffer pointed to by
301.Fa name .
302This buffer should be at least
303.Li NG_NODESIZ
304bytes long.
305The function returns the node id or 0 if the
306node is not found.
307.Pp
308The function
309.Fn ng_node_type
310retrieves the name of the node with id
311.Fa id
312and writes it to the buffer pointed to by
313.Fa type .
314This buffer should be at least
315.Li NG_TYPESIZ
316bytes long.
317The function returns the node id or 0 if the
318node is not found.
319.Pp
320The function
321.Fn ng_peer_hook_id
322writes the name of the peer hook of the hook
323.Fa hook
324on the node with
325.Fa id
326to the buffer pointed to by
327.Fa peer_hook .
328The buffer should be at least
329.Li NG_HOOKSIZ
330bytes long.
331The function returns 0 if the node and the hook is found, -1
332otherwise.
333The function skips intermediate tee nodes (see
334.Xr ng_tee 4 ) .
335.Pp
336The function
337.Fn ng_next_node_id
338returns the node id of the peer node that is on the other side of hook
339.Fa hook
340of node
341.Fa id .
342If
343.Fa type
344is not NULL, the function checks, that the peer node's type is
345.Fa type .
346The function skips intermediate tee nodes (see
347.Xr ng_tee 4 ) .
348It returns the node id of the peer node or 0 if an error occurs or the
349types do not match.
350.Ss CHANGING THE GRAPH
351A number of functions can be used to create or destroy nodes and hooks.
352.Pp
353The function
354.Fn ng_mkpeer_id
355creates a new node of type
356.Fa type
357whose hook
358.Fa peerhook
359will be connected to
360.Fa hook
361of node
362.Fa id .
363If
364.Fa name
365is not NULL the new node is named with this name.
366The function returns
367The node id of the new node or 0 if an error happens.
368.Pp
369The functions
370.Fn ng_connect_node
371and
372.Fn ng_connect_id
373make a new hook connecting
374.Fa ourhook
375of the modules socket node
376.Va snmp_node
377to
378.Fa peerhook
379of the node identified by id
380.Fa id
381or name
382.Fa node .
383The functions return 0 on success or -1 otherwise.
384.Pp
385The function
386.Fn ng_connect2_id
387connects hook
388.Fa ourhook
389of the node with id
390.Fa id
391to hook
392.Fa peerhook
393of the node with id
394.Fa peer .
395The functions return 0 on success or -1 otherwise.
396The function
397.Fn ng_connect2_tee_id
398does the same as
399.Fn ng_connect2_id
400except, that it puts an unnamed tee node between the two nodes.
401.Pp
402The function
403.Fn ng_rmhook
404removes hook
405.Fa hook
406on the module's
407.Va snmp_node .
408The function
409.Fn ng_rmhook_id
410removes hook
411.Fa hook
412on the node with id
413.Fa id .
414The function
415.Fn ng_rmhook_tee_id
416additionally shuts down all tee nodes between the node and the first non-tee
417peer.
418.Pp
419The function
420.Fn ng_shutdown_id
421destroys the given node.
