+otherwise it is 0. +For +.B Twrite +and +.B Tread +messages, +.B data +is set to a pointer into the argument message, +not a copy. +.PP +.I ConvS2M +does the reverse conversion, turning +.I f +into a message starting at +.IR ap . +The length of the resulting message is returned. +For +.B Twrite +and +.B Rread +messages, +.B count +bytes starting at +.B data +are copied into the message. +.PP +The constant +.B IOHDRSZ +is a suitable amount of buffer to reserve for storing +the 9P header; +the data portion of a +.B Twrite +or +.B Rread +will be no more than the buffer size negotiated in the +.BR Tversion/Rversion +exchange, minus +.BR IOHDRSZ . +.PP +The routine +.I sizeS2M +returns the number of bytes required to store the machine-independent representation of the +.B Fcall +structure +.IR f , +including its initial 32-bit size field. +In other words, it reports the number of bytes produced +by a successful call to +.IR convS2M . +.PP +Another structure is +.BR Dir , +used by the routines described in +.IR stat (2). +.I ConvM2D +converts the machine-independent form starting at +.I ap +into +.IR d +and returns the length of the machine-independent encoding. +The strings in the returned +.B Dir +structure are stored at successive locations starting at +.BR strs . +Usually +.B strs +will point to storage immediately after the +.B Dir +itself. +It can also be a +.B nil +pointer, in which case the string pointers in the returned +.B Dir +are all +.BR nil ; +however, the return value still includes their length. +.PP +.I ConvD2M +does the reverse translation, +also returning the length of the encoding. +If the buffer is too short, the return value will be +.B BIT16SZ +and the correct size will be returned in the first +.B BIT16SZ +bytes. +(If the buffer is less that +.BR BIT16SZ , +the return value is zero; therefore a correct test for +complete packing of the message is that the return value is +greater than +.BR BIT16SZ ). +The macro +.B GBIT16 +can be used to extract the correct value. +The related macros with different sizes retrieve the corresponding-sized quantities. +.B PBIT16 +and its brethren place values in messages. +With the exception of handling short buffers in +.IR convD2M , +these macros are not usually needed except by internal routines. +.PP +Analogous to +.IR sizeS2M , +.I sizeD2M +returns the number of bytes required to store the machine-independent representation of the +.B Dir +structure +.IR d , +including its initial 16-bit size field. +.PP +The routine +.B statcheck +checks whether the +.I nbuf +bytes of +.I buf +contain a validly formatted machine-independent +.B Dir +entry suitable as an argument, for example, for the +.B wstat +(see +.IR stat (2)) +system call. +It checks that the sizes of all the elements of the the entry sum to exactly +.IR nbuf , +which is a simple but effective test of validity. +.I Nbuf +and +.I buf +should include the second two-byte (16-bit) length field that precedes the entry when +formatted in a 9P message (see +.IR stat (5)); +in other words, +.I nbuf +is 2 plus the sum of the sizes of the entry itself. +.I Statcheck +also verifies that the length field has the correct value (that is, +.IB nbuf -2\f1). +It returns +.B 0 +for a valid entry and +.B -1 +for an incorrectly formatted entry. +.PP +.IR Dirfmt , +.IR fcallfmt , +and +.I dirmodefmt +are formatting routines, suitable for +.IR fmtinstall (2). +They convert +.BR Dir* , +.BR Fcall* , +and +.BR long +values into string representations of the directory buffer, +.B Fcall +buffer, +or file mode value. +.I Fcallfmt +assumes that +.I dirfmt +has been installed with format letter +.L D +and +.I dirmodefmt +with format letter +.LR M . +.PP +.I Read9pmsg +calls +.IR read (2) +multiple times, if necessary, to read an entire 9P message into +.BR buf . +The return value is 0 for end of file, or -1 for error; it does not return +partial messages. +.SH SOURCE +.B /sys/src/libc/9sys +.SH SEE ALSO +.IR intro (2), +.IR 9p (2), +.IR stat (2), +.IR intro (5) -- cgit v1.2.3
