! 77: .Sh DESCRIPTION
! 78: These functions support
! 79: .Nm uroute
! 80: objects, used for representing kernel routes in user code.
! 81: Each
! 82: .Nm uroute
! 83: instance is represented by a
! 84: .Li "struct uroute" .
! 85: .Pp
! 86: .Fn uroute_create
! 87: creates a new
! 88: .Nm uroute
! 89: object using copies of the supplied
! 90: .Fa dest ,
! 91: .Fa gateway ,
! 92: and
! 93: .Fa netmask .
! 94: The
! 95: .Fa netmask
! 96: should be
! 97: .Dv NULL
! 98: to specify a host route instead of a network route.
! 99: .Pp
! 100: .Fn uroute_destroy
! 101: destroys the object pointed to by
! 102: .Fa "*routep" .
! 103: Upon return,
! 104: .Fa "*routep"
! 105: will be set to
! 106: .Dv NULL .
! 107: If
! 108: .Fa "*routep"
! 109: is already
! 110: .Dv NULL
! 111: when
! 112: .Fn uroute_destroy
! 113: is invoked, nothing happens.
! 114: .Pp
! 115: .Fn uroute_get_dest ,
! 116: .Fn uroute_get_gateway ,
! 117: and
! 118: .Fn uroute_get_netmask
! 119: return the addresses associated with the route.
! 120: Note that
! 121: .Fn uroute_get_netmask
! 122: returns
! 123: .Dv NULL
! 124: to indicate that
! 125: .Fa route
! 126: is a host route.
! 127: .Pp
! 128: .Fn uroute_get_flags
! 129: and
! 130: .Fn uroute_set_flags
! 131: are used to access or modify the flags associated with the route;
! 132: these flags are defined in the header file
! 133: .Li "<net/route.h>" .
! 134: The only flag set for a newly created route is
! 135: .Dv RTF_STATIC .
! 136: .Pp
! 137: .Fn uroute_add
! 138: attempts to add the
! 139: .Fa route
! 140: to the kernel routing table.
! 141: .Pp
! 142: .Fn uroute_delete
! 143: attempts to remove the
! 144: .Fa route
! 145: from the kernel routing table.
! 146: .Pp
! 147: .Fn uroute_get
! 148: attempts to retrieve the route matching
! 149: .Fa dest
! 150: from the kernel routing table.
! 151: .Pp
! 152: .Fn uroute_get_all
! 153: retrieves the entire kernel routing table.
! 154: Zero or more
! 155: .Nm uroute
! 156: objects are constructed and pointed to by the elements of a newly
! 157: allocated array of pointers.
! 158: The length of the array is returned by
! 159: .Fn uroute_get_all
! 160: and a pointer to the array is stored in
! 161: .Fa "*listp" .
! 162: The array itself is allocated with
! 163: .Xr typed_mem 3
! 164: type
! 165: .Fa mtype ,
! 166: and the caller is responsible for eventually freeing it (as well as
! 167: destroying the individudal
! 168: .Nm uroute
! 169: objects).
! 170: .Pp
! 171: .Fn uroute_print
! 172: prints out
! 173: .Fa uroute
! 174: to the stream
! 175: .Fa fp
! 176: for debugging purposes.
! 177: .Sh RETURN VALUES
! 178: .Fn uroute_create ,
! 179: .Fn uroute_add ,
! 180: .Fn uroute_delete ,
! 181: .Fn uroute_get ,
! 182: and
! 183: .Fn uroute_get_all
! 184: return -1 or
! 185: .Dv NULL
! 186: to indicate an error, with
! 187: .Va errno
! 188: set appropriately.
