|

.In util.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn sockaddr_snprintf "char *buf" "size_t buflen" "const char *fmt" "const struct sockaddr *sa"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sockaddr_snprintf
|
|
function formats a socket address into a form suitable for printing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This function is convenient because it is protocol independent, i.e. one does
|
|
not need to know the address family of the sockaddr in order to print it.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr printf 3
|
|
like format string specifies how the address is going to be printed.
|
|
Some formatting characters are only supported by some address families.
|
|
If a certain formatting character is not supported, then the string
|
|
.Dq N/A
|
|
is printed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The resulting formatted string is placed into
|
|
.Fa buf .
|
|
Up to
|
|
.Fa buflen
|
|
characters are placed in
|
|
.Fa buf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following formatting characters are supported (immediately
|
|
after a percent
|
|
.Pq Sq %
|
|
sign):
|
|
.Bl -tag -width %a
|
|
.It a
|
|
The node address portion of the socket address is printed numerically.
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_INET
|
|
the address is printed as:
|
|
.Dq A.B.C.D
|
|
and
|
|
for AF_INET6
|
|
the address is printed as:
|
|
.Dq A:B...[%if]
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr getnameinfo 3
|
|
internally with
|
|
.Dv NI_NUMERICHOST .
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_APPLETALK
|
|
the address is printed as:
|
|
.Dq A.B
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_LOCAL
|
|
.Pq Dv AF_UNIX
|
|
the address is printed as:
|
|
.Dq socket-path
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_LINK
|
|
the address is printed as:
|
|
.Dq a.b.c.d.e.f
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr link_ntoa 3 ,
|
|
but the interface portion is skipped (see below).
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_UNSPEC
|
|
nothing is printed.
|
|
.It A
|
|
The symbolic name of the address is printed.
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_INET
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6
|
|
this is the hostname associated with the address.
|
|
For all other address families, it is the same as the
|
|
.Dq a
|
|
format.
|
|
.It f
|
|
The numeric value of the family of the address is printed.
|
|
.It l
|
|
The length of the socket address is printed.
|
|
.It p
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_INET ,
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv AF_APPLETALK
|
|
the numeric value of the port portion of the address is printed.
|
|
.It P
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_INET
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6
|
|
this is the name of the service associated with the port number, if
|
|
available.
|
|
For all other address families, it is the same as the
|
|
.Dq p
|
|
format.
|
|
.It I
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_LINK
|
|
addresses, the interface name portion is printed.
|
|
.It F
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6
|
|
addresses, the flowinfo portion of the address is printed numerically.
|
|
.It R
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_APPLETALK
|
|
addresses, the netrange portion of the address is printed as:
|
|
.Dq phase:[firstnet,lastnet]
|
|
.It S
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6
|
|
addresses, the scope portion of the address is printed numerically.
|
|
.It ?
|
|
If present between
|
|
.Dq %
|
|
and the format character, and the selected format does not apply to
|
|
the given address family, the
|
|
.Dq N/A
|
|
string is elided and no output results.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sockaddr_snprintf
|
|
function returns the number of characters that are required to format the
|
|
value
|
|
.Fa val
|
|
given the format string
|
|
.Fa fmt
|
|
excluding the terminating NUL.
|
|
The returned string in
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
is always NUL-terminated.
|
|
If the address family is not supported,
|
|
.Fn sockaddr_snprintf
|
|
returns \-1 and sets
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to
|
|
.Dv EAFNOSUPPORT .
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_INET
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6
|
|
addresses
|
|
.Fn sockaddr_snprintf
|
|
returns \-1 if the
|
|
.Xr getnameinfo 3
|
|
conversion failed, and
|
|
.Fa errno
|
|
is set to the error value from
|
|
.Xr getnameinfo 3 .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
If the buffer
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
is too small to hold the formatted output,
|
|
.Fn sockaddr_snprintf
|
|
will still return the buffer, containing a truncated string.

|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sockaddr_snprintf
|
|
first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 3.0 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sockaddr_snprintf
|
|
interface is experimental and might change in the future.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is no way to specify different formatting styles for particular
|
|
addresses.
|
|
For example it would be useful to print
|
|
.Dv AF_LINK
|
|
addresses as
|
|
.Dq %.2x:%.2x...
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Dq %x.%x...
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This function is supposed to be quick, but
|
|
.Xr getnameinfo 3
|
|
might use system calls to convert the scope number to an interface
|
|
name and the
|
|
.Dq A
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq P
|
|
format characters call
|
|
.Xr getaddrinfo 3
|
|
which may block for a noticeable period of time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Not all formatting characters are supported by all address families and
|
|
printing
|
|
.Dq N/A
|
|
is not very convenient.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq \&?
|
|
character can suppress this, but other formatting (e.g., spacing or
|
|
punctuation) will remain.
