CONTENTS

LIBRARY

libcasper

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/nv.h>
#include <libcasper.h>
#include <libcasper_service.h>
typedef int service_limit_func_t(const nvlist_t *, const nvlist_t *);


typedef int service_command_func_t(const char *, const nvlist_t *, nvlist_t *,
    nvlist_t *);

CREATE_SERVICE(name, limit_func, command_func, flags);

DESCRIPTION

The CREATE_SERVICE macro to create a new Casper service. The name is a string containing the service name, which will be used in the cap_service_open(3), function to identify it.

The limit_func is a function of type service_limit_func_t. The first argument of the function contains nvlist(9), old service limits and second one the new limits. If the services wasn't limited the old limits will be set to NULL. This function should not allow to extend service limits and only limit it further. The command_func is a function of type service_command_func_t. First argument is the name of the command that should be executed. The first nvlist(9) contains the current limits. Next one contains a nvlist(9) with current request. The last one contains an output nvlist(9) which contains the response from Casper.

The flags argument defines limits of the service. The supported flags are:
CASPER_SERVICE_STDIO The Casper service has access to the stdio descriptors from the process it was spawned from.
CASPER_SERVICE_FD The Casper service has access to all descriptors besides stdio descriptors from the process it was spawned from.
CASPER_SERVICE_NO_UNIQ_LIMITS The whole Casper communication is using nvlist(9) with NVLIST_NO_UNIQ(9) flag.
