It uses a very simple textual protocol over a stream + * connection provided by the platform dependent code (on UNIX systems, + * it's a UNIX domain socket). + * + * Each session of the CLI consists of a sequence of request and replies, + * slightly resembling the FTP and SMTP protocols. + * Requests are commands encoded as a single line of text, replies are + * sequences of lines starting with a four-digit code followed by either + * a space (if it's the last line of the reply) or a minus sign (when the + * reply is going to continue with the next line), the rest of the line + * contains a textual message semantics of which depends on the numeric + * code. If a reply line has the same code as the previous one and it's + * a continuation line, the whole prefix can be replaced by a single + * white space character. + * + * Reply codes starting with 0 describe `action successfully completed' messages, + * 1 means `table entry', 8 `runtime error' and 9 `syntax error'. + * + * Each CLI session is internally represented by a &cli structure and a + * resource pool containing all resources associated with the connection, + * so that it can be easily freed whenever the connection closes, not depending + * on the current state of command processing. + * + * The CLI commands are declared as a part of the configuration grammar + * by using the CF_CLI() macro. When a command is received, it's processed + * by the same lexical analyser and parser as used for the configuration, but + * it's switched to a special mode by prepending a fake token to the text, + * so that it uses only the CLI command rules. Then the parser invokes + * an execution routine corresponding to the command, which either constructs + * the whole reply and returns or (in case it expects the reply will be long) + * it prints a partial reply and asks the CLI module (using the @cont hook) + * to call it again when the output will be transferred to the user. + * + * The @this_cli variable points to a &cli structure of the session being + * currently parsed, but it's of course available only in command handlers + * not entered using the @cont hook. + */ + #include "nest/bird.h" #include "nest/cli.h" #include "conf/conf.h" @@ -41,6 +84,24 @@ cli_alloc_out(cli *c, int size) return o->wpos - size; } +/** + * cli_printf - send reply to a CLI connection + * @c: CLI connection + * @code: numeric code of the reply, negative for continuation lines + * @msg: a printf()-like formatting string. + * + * This function send a single line of reply to a given CLI connection. + * In works in all aspects like bsprintf() except that it automatically + * prepends the reply line prefix. + * + * Please note that if the connection can be already busy sending some + * data in which case cli_printf() stores the output to a temporary buffer, + * so please avoid sending a large batch of replies without waiting + * for the buffers to be flushed. + * + * If you want to write to the current CLI output, you can use the cli_msg() + * macro instead. + */ void cli_printf(cli *c, int code, char *msg, ...) { @@ -320,6 +381,12 @@ cli_free(cli *c) rfree(c->pool); } +/** + * cli_init - initialize the CLI module + * + * This function is called during BIRD startup to initialize + * the internal data structures of the CLI module. + */ void cli_init(void) { diff --git a/nest/iface.c b/nest/iface.c index 16961bf..e6adc08 100644 --- a/nest/iface.c +++ b/nest/iface.c @@ -6,6 +6,23 @@ * Can be freely distributed and used under the terms of the GNU GPL. */ +/** + * DOC: Interfaces + * + * The interface module keeps track of all network interfaces in the + * system and their addresses. + * + * Each interface is represented by an &iface structure which carries + * interface capability flags (%IF_MULTIACCESS, %IF_BROADCAST etc.), + * MTU, interface name and index and finally a linked list of network + * prefixes assigned to the interface, each one represented by + * struct &ifa. + * + * The interface module keeps a `soft-up' state for each &iface which + * is a conjunction of link being up, the interface being of a `sane' + * type and at least one IP address assigned to it. + */ + #undef LOCAL_DEBUG #include "nest/bird.h" @@ -22,6 +39,12 @@ static void auto_router_id(void); list iface_list; +/** + * ifa_dump - dump interface address + * @a: interface address descriptor + * + * This function dumps contents of an &ifa to the debug output. + */ void ifa_dump(struct ifa *a) { @@ -31,6 +54,13 @@ ifa_dump(struct ifa *a) (a->flags & IA_UNNUMBERED) ?
