.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvmsg
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvv
|
|
functions are used to receive a message from another SCTP endpoint.
|
|
They are used by one-to-one (SOCK_STREAM) type sockets after a successful
|
|
.Fn connect
|
|
call or after the application has performed a
|
|
.Fn listen
|
|
followed by a successful
|
|
.Fn accept .
|
|
For a one-to-many (SOCK_SEQPACKET) type socket, an endpoint may call
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvmsg
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvv
|
|
after having implicitly started an association via one
|
|
of the send calls including
|
|
.Fn sctp_sendmsg ,
|
|
.Fn sendto
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sendmsg .
|
|
Or, an application may also receive a message after having
|
|
called
|
|
.Fn listen
|
|
with a positive backlog to enable the reception of new associations.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The address of the sender is held in the
|
|
.Fa from
|
|
argument with
|
|
.Fa fromlen
|
|
specifying its size.
|
|
At the completion of a successful
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvmsg
|
|
call
|
|
.Fa from
|
|
will hold the address of the peer and
|
|
.Fa fromlen
|
|
will hold the length of that address.
|
|
Note that
|
|
the address is bounded by the initial value of
|
|
.Fa fromlen
|
|
which is used as an in/out variable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The length of the message
|
|
.Fa msg
|
|
to be received is bounded by
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
If the message is too long to fit in the users
|
|
receive buffer, then the
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument will
|
|
.Em not
|
|
have the
|
|
.Dv MSG_EOR
|
|
flag applied.
|
|
If the message is a complete message then
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument will have
|
|
.Dv MSG_EOR
|
|
set.
|
|
Locally detected errors are
|
|
indicated by a return value of -1 with
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
set accordingly.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument may also hold the value
|
|
.Dv MSG_NOTIFICATION .
|
|
When this
|
|
occurs it indicates that the message received is
|
|
.Em not
|
|
from
|
|
the peer endpoint, but instead is a notification from the
|
|
SCTP stack (see
|
|
.Xr sctp 4
|
|
for more details).
|
|
Note that no notifications are ever
|
|
given unless the user subscribes to such notifications using
|
|
the
|
|
.Dv SCTP_EVENTS
|
|
socket option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no messages are available at the socket then
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvmsg
|
|
normally blocks on the reception of a message or NOTIFICATION, unless the
|
|
socket has been placed in non-blocking I/O mode.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr select 2
|
|
system call may be used to determine when it is possible to
|
|
receive a message.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo
|
|
argument is defined as follows.
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct sctp_sndrcvinfo {
|
|
uint16_t sinfo_stream; /* Stream arriving on */
|
|
uint16_t sinfo_ssn; /* Stream Sequence Number */
|
|
uint16_t sinfo_flags; /* Flags on the incoming message */
|
|
uint32_t sinfo_ppid; /* The ppid field */
|
|
uint32_t sinfo_context; /* context field */
|
|
uint32_t sinfo_timetolive; /* not used by sctp_recvmsg */
|
|
uint32_t sinfo_tsn; /* The transport sequence number */
|
|
uint32_t sinfo_cumtsn; /* The cumulative acknowledgment point */
|
|
sctp_assoc_t sinfo_assoc_id; /* The association id of the peer */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_ppid
|
|
field is an opaque 32 bit value that is passed transparently
|
|
through the stack from the peer endpoint.
|
|
Note that the stack passes this value without regard to byte
|
|
order.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_flags
|
|
field may include the following:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
#define SCTP_UNORDERED 0x0400 /* Message is un-ordered */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SCTP_UNORDERED
|
|
flag is used to specify that the message arrived with no
|
|
specific order and was delivered to the peer application
|
|
as soon as possible.
|
|
When this flag is absent the message
|
|
was delivered in order within the stream it was received.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_stream
|
|
field is the SCTP stream that the message was received on.
|
|
Streams in SCTP are reliable (or partially reliable) flows of ordered
|
|
messages.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_context
|
|
field is used only if the local application set an association level
|
|
context with the
|
|
.Dv SCTP_CONTEXT
|
|
socket option.
|
|
Optionally a user process can use this value to index some application
|
|
specific data structure for all data coming from a specific
|
|
association.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_ssn
|
|
field will hold the stream sequence number assigned
|
|
by the peer endpoint if the message is
|
|
.Em not
|
|
unordered.
|
|
For unordered messages this field holds an undefined value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_tsn
|
|
field holds a transport sequence number (TSN) that was assigned
|
|
to this message by the peer endpoint.
|
|
For messages that fit in or less
|
|
than the path MTU this will be the only TSN assigned.
|
|
Note that for messages that span multiple TSNs this
|
|
value will be one of the TSNs that was used on the
|
|
message.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_cumtsn
|
|
field holds the current cumulative acknowledgment point of
|
|
the transport association.
|
|
Note that this may be larger
|
|
or smaller than the TSN assigned to the message itself.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_assoc_id
|
|
is the unique association identification that was assigned
|
|
to the association.
|
|
For one-to-many (SOCK_SEQPACKET) type
|
|
sockets this value can be used to send data to the peer without
|
|
the use of an address field.
|
|
It is also quite useful in
|
|
setting various socket options on the specific association
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr sctp 4 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->info_timetolive
|
|
field is not used by
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvmsg .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvv
|
|
function works as
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvmsg
|
|
with two differences.
|
|
Firstly, the receive buffer is passed as an array containing
|
|
.Vt iocnt
|
|
objects of type
|
|
.Vt struct iovec ,
|
|
where the received data will be scattered in the same manner as
|
|
.Xr readv 2 .
|
|
Secondly, the
|
|
.Fa sinfo
|
|
argument is replaced by the tuple
|
|
.Fa info ,
|
|
.Fa infolen ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa infotype ,
|
|
which allow different information to be received based on the socket options.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To receive an
|
|
.Vt sctp_rcvinfo
|
|
structure, set the
|
|
.Va SCTP_RECVRCVINFO
|
|
socket option, and pass a pointer to a
|
|
.Vt struct sctp_rcvinfo
|
|
structure in
|
|
.Fa info .
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt sctp_rcvinfo
|
|
structure has the following format:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct sctp_rcvinfo {
|
|
uint16_t rcv_sid; /* Stream arriving on */
|
|
uint16_t rcv_ssn; /* Stream Sequence Number */
|
|
uint16_t rcv_flags; /* Flags on the incoming message */
|
|
uint32_t rcv_ppid; /* The ppid field */
|
|
uint32_t rcv_tsn; /* The transport sequence number */
|
|
uint32_t rcv_cumtsn; /* The cumulative TSN */
|
|
uint32_t rcv_context; /* Opaque context field */
|
|
sctp_assoc_t rcv_assoc_id; /* Peer association id */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These fields have the same meaning as the equivalent fields in
|
|
.Vt struct sctp_sndrcvinfo ,
|
|
defined above.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To receive an
|
|
.Vt sctp_nxtinfo
|
|
structure, set the
|
|
.Va SCTP_RECVNXTINFO
|
|
socket option, and pass a pointer to a
|
|
.Vt struct sctp_nxtinfo
|
|
structure in
|
|
.Fa info .
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt struct sctp_nxtinfo
|
|
structure has the following format:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct sctp_nxtinfo {
|
|
uint16_t nxt_sid; /* Next message's stream number */
|
|
uint16_t nxt_flags; /* Flags (see below) */
|
|
uint32_t nxt_ppid; /* The ppid field */
|
|
uint32_t nxt_length; /* Length of next message */
|
|
sctp_assoc_t nxt_assoc_id; /* Peer association id */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The fields
|
|
.Va nxt_sid ,
|
|
.Va nxt_ppid ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Va nxt_assoc_id
|
|
have the same meaning as in
|
|
.Vt struct sctp_rcvinfo ,
|
|
except they refer to the next message rather than the message that was
|
|
received.
|
|
The field
|
|
.Va nxt_length
|
|
contains the length of the part of the next message currently available in
|
|
the socket buffer.
|
|
This may not represent the length of the entire message unless the
|
|
.Va SCTP_COMPLETE
|
|
flag is set in
|
|
.Va nxt_flags .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va nxt_flags
|
|
field is a bitmask which may contain any of the following values:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va SCTP_UNORDERED :
|
|
The next message was sent unordered.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va SCTP_COMPLETE :
|
|
The entirety of the next message has been received in the socket buffer.
|
|
In this case, the
|
|
.Va nxt_length
|
|
field contains the length of the entire message.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va SCTP_NOTIFICATION :
|
|
The next message is a notification, not a user message.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If both the
|
|
.Va SCTP_RECVRCVINFO
|
|
and
|
|
.Va SCTP_RECVNXTINFO
|
|
socket options are set, then pass a pointer to a
|
|
.Vt struct sctp_recvv_rn
|
|
structure in
|
|
.Fa info .
|
|
This struct has the following format:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct sctp_recvv_rn {
|
|
struct sctp_rcvinfo recvv_rcvinfo;
|
|
struct sctp_nxtinfo recvv_nxtinfo;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The value pointed to by
|
|
.Fa infolen
|
|
should initially contain the length of the structure to which
|
|
.Fa info
|
|
points.
|
|
When the function returns, it will be set to the length of the
|
|
returned structure.
|
|
Additionally,
|
|
.Fa *infotype
|
|
will be set to one of the following values depending on what type of info
|
|
was returned:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va SCTP_RECVV_NOINFO :
|
|
no information was returned.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va SCTP_RECVV_RCVINFO :
|
|
.Fa *info
|
|
contains an object of type
|
|
.Vt struct sctp_rcvinfo .
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va SCTP_RECVV_NXTINFO :
|
|
.Fa *info
|
|
contains an object of type
|
|
.Vt struct sctp_nxtinfo .
|
|
.It
|
|
.Va SCTP_RECVV_RN :
|
|
.Fa *info
|
|
contains an object of type
|
|
.Vt struct sctp_recvv_rn .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The call returns the number of bytes received, or -1
|
|
if an error occurred.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvmsg
|
|
system call
|
|
fails if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF
|
|
An invalid descriptor was specified.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTSOCK
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is not a socket.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
An invalid user space address was specified for an argument.
|
|
.It Bq Er EMSGSIZE
|
|
The socket requires that message be sent atomically,
|
|
and the size of the message to be sent made this impossible.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
The socket is marked non-blocking and the requested operation
|
|
would block.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
|
|
The system was unable to allocate an internal buffer.
|
|
The operation may succeed when buffers become available.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
|
|
The output queue for a network interface was full.
|
|
This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending,
|
|
but may be caused by transient congestion.
|
|
.It Bq Er EHOSTUNREACH
|
|
The remote host was unreachable.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTCONN
|
|
On a one-to-one style socket no association exists.
|
|
.It Bq Er ECONNRESET
|
|
An abort was received by the stack while the user was
|
|
attempting to send data to the peer.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOENT
|
|
On a one to many style socket no address is specified
|
|
so that the association cannot be located or the
|
|
SCTP_ABORT flag was specified on a non-existing association.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPIPE
|
|
The socket is unable to send anymore data
|
|
.Dv ( SBS_CANTSENDMORE
|
|
has been set on the socket).
|
|
This typically means that the socket
|
|
is not connected and is a one-to-one style socket.
