LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Security Library (libsecurity.so)

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Pointer to a list of escap_parse structures, terminated by
       an entry with a NULL fname field.  The size  of  the  data
       area  referenced  by the fieldptr, fieldptr2, srcfieldptr,
       dstfieldptr parameters.  Pointer to storage for the fixedlength
  data.   For example, when parsing an extended profile,
 this should be a pointer to an espw_field structure.
       Additional   pointer   (like  fieldptr)  for  comparisons.
       Source for data copying, otherwise  like  fieldptr.  Readonly.
  Destination for data copying, otherwise like fieldptr.
  Pointer to the storage  area  for  flags  associated
       with fieldptr.  For example, when parsing an extended profile,
 this should be a pointer to an espw_flag  structure.
       Additional pointer (like flagptr) for comparisons.  Source
       for data copying, otherwise like flagptr. Read-only.  Destination
   for   data  copying,  otherwise  like  flagptr.
       Pointer to a pointer to flag data, or pointer  to  a  NULL
       pointer to have escap_cmp_fields allocate storage, or NULL
       to indicate that the mask of which fields are different is
       not desired by the caller.  Pointer to an escap_pad structure
 that is used for storing variable-sized data elements
       which  are referenced by fieldptr (or dstfieldptr). If its
       area field is NULL, storage is allocated.  Pointer  to  an
       escap_pad   structure   used   for  holding  a  record  of
       unparsable fields.  If its area  field  is  NULL,  storage
       will be allocated.  pointer to a text record to be parsed.
       The  text  record  is  expected  to  meet  the  formatting
       requirements  for an authcap record.  Standard I/O control
       pointer for output  of  a  text  record  representing  the
       fields  and flags described by partab, fieldptr, and flagptr.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The escap_parse_fields() routine parses the text in buffer
       according  to the field information in partab, storing the
       results in the data area referenced by  fieldptr  and  the
       flags  for  which fields are parsed in the area referenced
       by flagptr.  This routine never writes to an offset in the
       field  data  area greater than fieldlen. Initialization of
       the field and flag data areas to zeros is the responsibility
    of    the    calling    routine,    and    not   of
       escap_parse_fields(). If the data areas of the scrpad  and
       unkpad  parameters are NULL on entry to this function, the
       scrpad area will be allocated an area  of  size  equal  to
       strlen(buffer)*2+2  and  the  unkpad  area will receive an
       allocation of strlen(buffer)+1. If the  first  element  of
       the  partab  parameter  has an fname field of zero length,
       then it is assumed that the first field is an unnamed copy
       of  the name of the entry (the portion preceding the first
       un-quoted  \  character).  The  :chkent:  field  which  is
       expected  at the end of any authcap buffer is not expected
       to be an element of partab, since there is usually no flag
       field associated with it.

   Structures for Reference    [Toc]    [Back]
       struct  escap_parse  {      const char *fname;  /* name of
       the field in  the  buffer  */       int  ptype;         /*
       parser       type      (from      above      list)      */
            uint_t    fmax;          /* field maximum, special in
       many  cases  */       size_t    where;         /*  how far
       into       the       field       to        store        */
            size_t    nmlen;         /*  strlen of fname field */
       };

       struct escap_pad {      char *area;         /*  where  the
       region  begins  */       char *next;         /* where next
       string will go */      char *aend;         /*  last  legal
       place  to write */      size_t size;        /* how big the
       last allocation was */ };

       extern    struct    escap_parse    const     espw_parse[],
       esdv_parse[],                                estc_parse[],
                           esfi_parse[], esdf_parse[];

       escap_parse_fields() checks each field-name  found  for  a
       matching  entry  in  partab,  adding the field to the data
       stored in unkpad if it can find no match for the name,  or
       if  the  fieldlen  parameter will not allow the data to be
       saved in the fields area, or if the routine  it  calls  to
       parse  the data fails. The length restrictions in the fmax
       field of the partab entry may be the cause  of  the  parse
       failure.   The  flags data storage is updated in the order
       in which the fields are listed in the partab parameter.

       This routine returns -1 if memory allocation fails  or  if
       storing the variable-length data in scrpad or unkpad fails
       because the allocation was not sufficient.  It  returns  0
       if  all fields were parsed and stored successfully (ignoring
 fields that have required a storage  offset  exceeding
       fieldlen).   It returns a count of the failed fields which
       were appended to the unkpad storage because of parse failure
 otherwise.

       The  escap_print_fields()  routine uses the fp argument to
       display the fields  described  by  partab,  fieldptr,  and
       flagptr.  It will reference no offset in the field storage
       area beyond fieldlen. For each field described by  partab,
       if its storage is within the limit imposed by fieldlen, if
       the corresponding bit is set in the flags  area,  then  an
       entry  for  that  field  is written to fp. It returns 0 on
       error (fprintf failure) or 1 on success.

       The  escap_cmp_fields()  routine  uses  the   partab   and
       fieldlen arguments to compare the data areas referenced by
       the fieldptr and fieldptr2 pointers  and  the  flag  areas
       referenced by the flagptr and flagptr2 pointers.  If diffptr
 is NULL, the return value is 0 if the flags masks  are
       equal  and the data elements which they represent as being
       present are equivalent.  If diffptr is not  NULL,  then  a
       flags  mask  indicating  which  fields  differed  will  be
       returned in *diffptr.  If *diffptr is NULL on entry,  this
       routine will allocate storage for this flag area.  If that
       allocation fails, the routine returns  -1.   A  difference
       will  be  recorded  if  the  flag bit for a given field in
       *flagptr is not the  same  as  the  corresponding  bit  in
       *flagptr2,  or  if both flag areas indicate that the field
       is present, but that a comparison of the  data  referenced
       by  fieldptr and fieldptr2 shows a difference. If *diffptr
       was non-NULL or successfully allocated, the  return  value
       of this routine is the same as when diffptr is NULL (0 for
       equal entries, 1 for unequal).

       The  escap_copy_fields()  routine  copies  data  and  flag
       information from srcfieldptr and srcflagptr to dstfieldptr
       and dstflagptr, limiting the data offset referenced in the
       field  storage areas to fieldlen as directed by the partab
       parameter. Variable-sized data is appended to scrpad.   If
       the  area and size fields of scrpad are NULL, this routine
       assigns  storage  to   scrpad   based   on   a   call   to
       escap_size_data().  Initialization of the destination flag
       values to zero is the responsibility of the  calling  routine.
  This  routine will only set bits in the destination
       flags area, not clear them. This routine  does  perform  a
       memcpy(dstfieldptr,  srcfieldptr, fieldlen).  This routine
       returns 0 if it could not append to the scrpad area or  if
       allocation of the scrpad area failed.  It returns 1 otherwise.


       The escap_size_data()  routine  evaluates  the  additional
       size  needed  beyond fieldlen bytes to store the variablesized
 data  associated  with  the  fieldptr  parameter  as
       described  by  partab  and  flagptr .  It returns only the
       size needed to store variable-sized  data,  and  does  not
       include  fieldlen in that calculation, so it can return 0.
