The .Nm node type allows one to open a socket inside the kernel and have it appear as a Netgraph node. The .Nm node type is the reverse of the socket node type (see .Xr ng_socket 4 ) : whereas the socket node type enables the user-level manipulation (via a socket) of what is normally a kernel-level entity (the associated Netgraph node), the .Nm node type enables the kernel-level manipulation (via a Netgraph node) of what is normally a user-level entity (the associated socket). .Pp A .Nm node allows at most one hook connection. Connecting to the node is equivalent to opening the associated socket. The name given to the hook determines what kind of socket the node will open (see below). When the hook is disconnected and/or the node is shutdown, the associated socket is closed. .Sh HOOKS This node type supports a single hook connection at a time. The name of the hook must be of the form .Em // , where the .Em family , .Em type , and .Em proto are the decimal equivalent of the same arguments to .Xr socket 2 . Alternately, aliases for the commonly used values are accepted as well. For example .Dv inet/dgram/udp is a more readable but equivalent version of .Dv 2/2/17 . .Sh CONTROL MESSAGES This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following: .Bl -tag -width foo .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_BIND This functions exactly like the .Xr bind 2 system call. The .Dv "struct sockaddr" socket address parameter should be supplied as an argument. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_LISTEN This functions exactly like the .Xr listen 2 system call. The backlog parameter (a single 32 bit .Dv int ) should be supplied as an argument. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_CONNECT This functions exactly like the .Xr connect 2 system call. The .Dv "struct sockaddr" destination address parameter should be supplied as an argument. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_ACCEPT Currently unimplemented. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_GETNAME Equivalent to the .Xr getsockname 2 system call. The name is returned as a .Dv "struct sockaddr" in the arguments field of the reply. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_GETPEERNAME Equivalent to the .Xr getpeername 2 system call. The name is returned as a .Dv "struct sockaddr" in the arguments field of the reply. .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_SETOPT Equivalent to the .Xr setsockopt 2 system call, except that the option name, level, and value are passed in a .Dv "struct ng_ksocket_sockopt" . .It Dv NGM_KSOCKET_GETOPT Equivalent to the .Xr getsockopt 2 system call, except that the option is passed in a .Dv "struct ng_ksocket_sockopt" . When sending this command, the .Dv value field should be empty; upon return, it will contain the retrieved value. .El .Sh ASCII FORM CONTROL MESSAGES For control messages that pass a .Dv "struct sockaddr" in the argument field, the normal .Tn ASCII equivalent of the C structure is an acceptable form. For the .Dv PF_INET and .Dv PF_LOCAL address families, a more convenient form is also used, which is the protocol family name, followed by a slash, followed by the actual address. For .Dv PF_INET , the address is an IP address followed by an optional colon and port number. For .Dv PF_LOCAL , the address is the pathname as a doubly quoted string. .Pp Examples: .Bl -tag -width XXXXXXXXXX .It Dv PF_LOCAL local/"/tmp/foo.socket" .It Dv PF_INET inet/192.168.1.1:1234 .It Other .Dv "\&{ family=16 len=16 data=[0x70 0x00 0x01 0x23] \&}" .El .Pp For control messages that pass a .Dv "struct ng_ksocket_sockopt" , the normal .Tn ASCII form for that structure is used. In the future, more convenient encoding of the more common socket options may be supported. .Sh SHUTDOWN This node shuts down upon receipt of a .Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when the hook is disconnected. Shutdown of the node closes the associated socket. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr socket 2 , .Xr netgraph 4 , .Xr ng_socket 4 , .Xr ngctl 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm node type was implemented in .Fx 4.0 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Archie Cobbs Aq Mt archie@FreeBSD.org
