Socket control messages


package unix

import (
	"unsafe"
)

CmsgLen returns the value to store in the Len field of the Cmsghdr structure, taking into account any necessary alignment.

func CmsgLen(datalen int) int {
	return cmsgAlignOf(SizeofCmsghdr) + datalen
}

CmsgSpace returns the number of bytes an ancillary element with payload of the passed data length occupies.

func CmsgSpace(datalen int) int {
	return cmsgAlignOf(SizeofCmsghdr) + cmsgAlignOf(datalen)
}

func (h *Cmsghdr) data(offset uintptr) unsafe.Pointer {
	return unsafe.Pointer(uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(h)) + uintptr(cmsgAlignOf(SizeofCmsghdr)) + offset)
}

SocketControlMessage represents a socket control message.

type SocketControlMessage struct {
	Header Cmsghdr
	Data   []byte
}

ParseSocketControlMessage parses b as an array of socket control messages.

func ParseSocketControlMessage(b []byte) ([]SocketControlMessage, error) {
	var msgs []SocketControlMessage
	i := 0
	for i+CmsgLen(0) <= len(b) {
		h, dbuf, err := socketControlMessageHeaderAndData(b[i:])
		if err != nil {
			return nil, err
		}
		m := SocketControlMessage{Header: *h, Data: dbuf}
		msgs = append(msgs, m)
		i += cmsgAlignOf(int(h.Len))
	}
	return msgs, nil
}

func socketControlMessageHeaderAndData(b []byte) (*Cmsghdr, []byte, error) {
	h := (*Cmsghdr)(unsafe.Pointer(&b[0]))
	if h.Len < SizeofCmsghdr || uint64(h.Len) > uint64(len(b)) {
		return nil, nil, EINVAL
	}
	return h, b[cmsgAlignOf(SizeofCmsghdr):h.Len], nil
}

UnixRights encodes a set of open file descriptors into a socket control message for sending to another process.

func UnixRights(fds ...int) []byte {
	datalen := len(fds) * 4
	b := make([]byte, CmsgSpace(datalen))
	h := (*Cmsghdr)(unsafe.Pointer(&b[0]))
	h.Level = SOL_SOCKET
	h.Type = SCM_RIGHTS
	h.SetLen(CmsgLen(datalen))
	for i, fd := range fds {
		*(*int32)(h.data(4 * uintptr(i))) = int32(fd)
	}
	return b
}

ParseUnixRights decodes a socket control message that contains an integer array of open file descriptors from another process.

func ParseUnixRights(m *SocketControlMessage) ([]int, error) {
	if m.Header.Level != SOL_SOCKET {
		return nil, EINVAL
	}
	if m.Header.Type != SCM_RIGHTS {
		return nil, EINVAL
	}
	fds := make([]int, len(m.Data)>>2)
	for i, j := 0, 0; i < len(m.Data); i += 4 {
		fds[j] = int(*(*int32)(unsafe.Pointer(&m.Data[i])))
		j++
	}
	return fds, nil
