.if n .sp
..
The
.BR ip* ,
.BR eth* ,
.BR psip* ,
.BR tcp* ,
and
.B udp*
devices give access to the Internet Protocol (IP) services in Minix.
There are 16 such devices for four different networks, and four
different ways of accessing them. The
.B eth*
and
.B psip*
devices give direct access to the network packets at the lowest level.
The
.BR ip* ,
.BR tcp* ,
and
.B udp*
devices give access to IP, TCP, or UDP services. See
.BR set_net_default (8)
for a description of the default network devices and environment
variables. The proper TCP device to use for instance is found by:
.PP
.RS
.nf
if ((tcp_device= getenv("TCP_DEVICE")) == NULL)
tcp_device= "/dev/tcp";
.fi
.RE
.PP
Access to the IP services is provided using filedescriptors to open IP
devices. These open IP channels can be configured with
.BR ioctl (2)
calls, and data can be transferred by calls to
.BR read (2),
and
.BR write (2).
.SS "Types (general)"
.IP <sys/types.h>
.br
defines

(\fBudp_io_hdr_t\fP).
.SS "Byte Order Conversion"
All 16-bit and 32-bit quantities in IP headers must be in network byte
order. The macros described in
.BR hton (3)
can be used to convert these values to and from the byte order used by
the host machine.
.SS "The Internet Checksum"
The
.B OneC_sum
function (see
.BR oneC_sum (3))
is used to calculate the one's complement checksum needed for IP network
packets.
.SS "General Functions"
.PP
.ft B
\fIfd\fP = open(\fItcpip_device\fP, O_RDWR)
.ft R
.PP
This is how one normally obtains a filedescriptor for a new TCP/IP channel.
.I tcpip_device
names one of the TCP/IP devices. The channel may be used both to send or to
receive data.
.PP
.ft B
\fIn\fP = read(\fIfd\fP, \fIbuf\fP, \fIsize\fP)
.ft R
.PP
Receives one packet (low level devices) or a number of bytes (TCP stream).
Returns the the number of bytes placed into
.IR buf ,
or returns -1 with an error code placed into
.BR errno .
.PP
.ft B
\fIn\fP = write(\fIfd\fP, \fIbuf\fP, \fIsize\fP)
.ft R
.PP
Sends one packet (low level devices) or a number of bytes (TCP stream).
Returns
.I size
or -1 with the error code placed into
.BR errno .
The TCP/IP
.B read
and
.B write
functions behave like reads and writes on pipes when it comes to signals.

The configuration is divided in a number of section (covered by the xx_MASK
macros).
Options can be set in the
.B nweo_flags
field.
The first section (\fBNWEO_ACC_MASK\fP) controls the access to a certain
Ethernet packet type.
If
.B NWEO_EXCL
is selected then this is the only channel that can send or
receive Ethernet packets of the selected type.
If
.B NWEO_SHARED
is selected then multiple channels (which all have to
select
.BR NWEO_SHARED )
can use the same Ethernet type, they all can send
packets but incoming packets will be delivered to at most one of them.
If
.B NWEO_COPY
is selected then multiple channels have access to the same
Ethernet type and all receive a copy of an incoming packet.
.LP
The
.B NWEO_LOC_MASK
flags control the delivery of packets with a destination
address equal to the Ethernet address of the machine.
If
.B NWEO_EN_LOC
is selected then these packets will be delivered and with
.B NWEO_DI_LOC
they will be discarded.
.PP
.BR NWEO_BROAD_MASK ,
.BR NWEO_MULTI_MASK ,
and
.B NWEO_PROMISC_MASK
do the same to broadcast packets,
multicast packets and promiscuous mode packets as
.B NWEO_LOC_MASK
does for local packets.
Except that the precise multicast address is taken from the \fBnweo_multi\fP
field.
.LP
The
.B NWEO_REM_MASK
flags control whether communication is restricted to
single destination or not.
.B NWEO_REMSPEC
restricts sending and receiving of packets to the single
remote computer specified in the \fBnweo_rem\fP field.
.B NWEO_REMANY
allows sending to and receiving from any remote computer.
.PP
.B NWEO_TYPESPEC
restricts sending and receiving of packets to the type
specified in \fBnweo_type\fP.
The type has to be in network byte order (using
.BR hton (3)).
.B NWEO_TYPEANY
allows any type.
.PP
If the Ethernet header is completely specified by the
.B nweo_flags
i.e., all of
.BR NWEO_EN_LOC ,
.BR NWEO_DI_BROAD ,
.BR NWEO_DI_MULTI ,
.BR NWEO_DI_PROMISC ,
.BR NWEO_REMSPEC
and
.B NWEO_TYPESPEC
are
specified, then
.B NWEO_RWDATONLY
can be used to send and receive only the data part of an Ethernet packet.
If
.B NWEO_RWDATALL
is specified then both Ethernet header and data are used.

The requested entry is taken from \fBnwr_ent_no\fP.
Entries are counted from 0, so the value 0 can be used for an initial query.
The size of the routing table is returned in \fBnwr_ent_count\fP.
The \fBnwr_flags\fP indicates if the entry is in use (\fBNWRF_INUSE\fP) and
if the entry was inserted manually (using \fBNWIOSIPOROUTE\fP) or generated
by the IP server itself.
The route is described by
.BR nwr_dest ,
.BR nwr_netmask ,
.BR nwr_gateway ,
.BR nwr_dist ,

\fBNwr_dest\fP and \fBnwr_netmask\fP select the destination addresses.
A value of 0.0.0.0 (0x0) in both \fBnwr_dest\fP and \fBnwr_netmask\fP means
every host.
A value of 255.255.255.255 (0xffffffff) in \fBnwr_netmask\fP means a single
host.
Other values of \fBnwr_netmask\fP are netmasks for the network specified
by \fBnwr_dest\fP.
\fBNwr_gateway\fP is gateway that should be used.
\fBNwr_dist\fP is a minimal distance.
Packets with a time to live smaller than \fBnwr_dist\fP will not reach the
destination.
If two routes have equal netmask and distance fields but different
gateways then the gateway with highest value in \fBnwr_pref\fP is used.

A tcp channel is considered configured when one flag in each category has
been selected.
Thus one of

.PP
The acc flags control the access to a certain TCP port.
.B NWTC_EXCL
means exclusive access.
An attempt to configure a channel will be denied if the same port is specified
as that of a channel that requested exclusive access.
.B NWTC_SHARED
indicates that several channels use the same port but cooperate.
If the shared mode is specified for one channel than all other channel that
use the same port should also be configured with the
.B NWTC_SHARED
flag.
.B NWTC_COPY
is specified when the programmer does not care about other channels.
This is the default.
.PP
The locport flags control which TCP port is used for communication.
.B NWTC_LP_UNSET
indicates the absence of a local port.
This is the default.
.B NWTC_LP_SET
means that the
.B nwtc_locport
field contains the local port to be used by TCP.
This value must be in network byte order (see
.BR hton (3).)
.B NWTC_LP_SEL
requests the TCP server to pick a port.
This port will be in the range from 32768 to 65535 and will be unique.
.LP
The
.B remaddr
flags specify which hosts are acceptable for connections.
.B NWTC_SET_RA
indicates that only connection to the host specified in
.B nwtc_remaddr
are acceptable.
.B Nwtc_remaddr
should be in network byte order (see
.BR hton (3).)
.B NWTC_UNSET_RA
allows every host on the other side of a connection.
This is the default.
.PP
The
.B remport
flags specify which remote ports are acceptable for connections.
.B NWTC_SET_RP

The
.B NWTO_SND_URG
option causes bytes written to the channel to be send out as urgent data.
On receiving an
.B EURG
error the
.B NWTO_RCV_URG
option must be set to switch over to reading urgent data. When all urgent
data has been read an
.B ENOURG
error will follow,
indicating that the option must be cleared with
.BR NWTO_RCV_NOTURG .
Alas the BSD implementation of urgent data disagrees with the RFC's, so to
be BSD compatible one must set the
.B NWTO_BSD_URG
option beforehand on a channel that is to send or receive urgent data.
Given that the BSD implementation is the regarded as the TCP/IP standard one
should always use the BSD style. The
.B NWTO_DEL_RST
option delays a failure response on a connect to the same port as the
current open connection. Without this option a connect would fail if
a server is not yet listening. With this option a connect will linger
on until the server starts listening. This option is useful for a server
that opens a connection, tells the remote end the local port number and
then listens (FTP), or for a program that forks off servers for incoming
connections (TELNET). A new connection may come in before a new listen
can be started, so it is nice if the new connect doesn't fail. Use this
option only when it is clearly needed.

If \fIdstport\fP is non-zero then communication will be restricted to remote ports
that equal to \fIdstport\fP, otherwise any data can be sent to or received from
any remote port.

Several errors may be returned by the TCP/IP server. The error code
is found in the
.B errno
variable if the
.BR read ,
.BR write ,
or
.B ioctl
call returns -1. The TCP/IP error codes defined in <errno.h> are:
.IP EPACKSIZE 5c
This indicates an attempt to read or write with a buffer that is too
large or too small.
.IP EOUTOFBUFS
The TCP/IP server has insufficient memory to execute the request.
.IP EBADIOCTL
This indicates an attempt to execute a command the particular server
does not understand.
For example, a
.B NWIOGTCPCONF
on an ETH channel.
.IP EBADMODE
The request is refused because the channel is not fully configured, in the
wrong state or the parameters are invalid.
.IP EBADDEST
This indicates an illegal destination address for a packet.
.IP EDSTNORCH
The destination is not reachable.
.IP EISCONN
The channel is already connected so a second request is refused.
.IP EADDRINUSE
This address is in use.
.IP ECONNREFUSED
The connection is refused by the other side.
.IP ECONNRESET
The connection is reset (non-gracefully terminated) by the other side.
.IP ETIMEDOUT
The connection is terminated due to an expired timer.
.IP EURG
Urgent data is present and the current receive mode does not allow urgent data
to be transferred.
.IP ENOURG
No urgent data is present and a request came for urgent data.
.IP ENOTCONN
The request requires a connected channel and the channel is not connected.
.IP ESHUTDOWN
The connection is shut down.
That is, a
.B NWIOTCPSHUTDOWN
has been executed so no more data can be transmitted.
.IP ENOCONN
The connection does not exist.
.IP EGENERIC
A generic error code for extremely weird cases.
