.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Em IMPORTANT NOTE!
This document describes interfaces which are not yet guaranteed to be
stable.
In case you update your system sources, please recompile everything
and fix complation errors.
If your sources are out-of-sync, incorrect operation may result.
.Pp
The
.Nm
routines provide buffering and an event loop structured around the
buffers.
It operates on top of the puffs continuation framework,
.Xr puffs_cc 3 ,
and multiplexes execution automatically to an instance whenever
one is runnable.
Currently only request-response type "client pull" protocols are
supported, but support for protocols which also feature "server
push" type messaging may be added at a later date.
.Pp
The file system is entered in two different ways:
.Bl -bullet -offset indent
.It
An event arrives from the kernel and the
.Xr puffs_ops 3
callbacks are called to start processing the event.
.It
A file system which has sent out a request receives a response.
Execution is resumed from the place where the file system yielded.
.El
.Pp
For a file server to use
.Nm ,
it must implemented three different routines:
.Bl -tag -width "xcmpfbx"
.It rfb
Read a frame onto the specified buffer.
.It wfb
Write a frame from the specified buffer.
.It cmpfb
Identify if a buffer is the response to the specified buffer.
.El
.Pp
Additionally, a fourth optional one called
.Fn fdnotfn
may be specified.
It is used as a notify callback from the event loop to the file server
when the event loop detects that the write or read side of the file
descriptor has been closed.
See
.Fn puffs_framev_fdnotify_fn
for more information.
.Pp
File descriptors are treated like sockets: they have two sides, a read
side and a write side.
The framework determines that one side of the descriptor has been
close if the supplied I/O callbacks return an error or if the I/O
multiplexing call says a side has been closed.
It is still possible, from the framework perspective, to write to a
file descriptor whose read side is closed.
However, it is not possible to wait for a response on such a file
descriptor.
Conversely, it is possible to read responses from a descriptor whose
write side is closed.
It should be stressed that the implementation underlying the file
descriptor might not support this.
.Pp
The buffers of
.Nm
provide automatic memory management of buffers for the file servers.
They provide a cursor to the current buffer offset.
Reading or writing data through the normal routines will advance that cursor.
Additionally, the buffer size is provided to the user.
It represents the maximum offset where data was written.
.Pp
Generally the write functions will fail if the cannot allocate enough
memory to satisfy the buffer length requirements.
Read functions will fail if the amount of data written to the buffer
is not large enough to satisfy the read.
.Bl -tag -width xxxx
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_make
Create a buffer.
Return the address of the buffer or
.Dv NULL
in case no memory was available.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_destroy pufbuf
Free memory used by buffer.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_recycle pufbuf
Reset offsets so that buffer can be reused.
Does not free memory or reallocate memory.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_reserver_space pufbuf space
Make sure that the buffer has
.Ar space
bytes of available memory starting from the current offset.
This is not strictly necessary, but can be used for optimizations
where it is known in advance how much memory will be required.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_putdata pufbuf data dlen
Write
.Ar dlen
amount of data from the address
.Ar data
into the buffer.
Moves the offset cursor forward
.Ar dlen
bytes.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_putdata_atoff pufbuf offset data dlen
Like
.Fn puffs_framebuf_putdata ,
except writes data at buffer offset
.Ar offset .
It is legal to write past the current end of the buffer.
Does NOT modify the current offset cursor.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_getdata pufbuf data dlen
Read
.Ar dlen
bytes of data from the buffer into
.Ar data .
Advances the offset cursor.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_getdata_atoff pufbuf offset data dlen 
Read data from buffer position
.Ar offset .
Does NOT modify the offset cursor.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_telloff pufbuf
Return the offset into the buffer.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_tellsize pufbuf
Return the maximum offset where data has been written, i.e. buffer size.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_remaining pufbuf
Distance from current offset to the end of the buffer, i.e. size-offset.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_seekset pufbuf offset
Set the offset cursor to the position
.Ar offset .
This does NOT modify the buffer size, but reserves at least
enough memory memory for a write to
.Ar offset
and will fail if memory cannot be allocated.
.It Fn puffs_framebuf_getwindow pufbuf offset winp winlen
Get a direct memory window into the buffer starting from
.Ar offset .
The maximum mapped window size will be
.Ar winlen
bytes, but this routine might return a smaller window and the caller
should always check the actual mapped size after the call.
The window is returned in
.Ar winp .
This function not modify the buffer offset, but it DOES set the buffer
size to
.Ar offset +
.Ar winlen
in case that value is greater than the current size.
The window is valid until the next until the next
.Fn puffs_framebuf
call operating on the buffer in question.
.It Fn puffs_framev_enqueue_cc pcc pufbuf
Add the buffer
.Ar pufbuf
to outgoing queue and yield with the continuation
.Ar pcc .
Execution is resumed once a response is received.
Returns 0 if the buffer was succesfully enqueued (not necessarily
delivered) and non-zero to signal a non-recoverable error.
.It Fn puffs_framev_cb pu pufbuf arg error
Callback function.
Called when a response to a specific request arrives from the server.
If
.Ar error
is non-zero, the framework was unable to obtain a response and the
function should not examine the contents of
.Ar pufbuf ,
only do resource cleanup.
May not block.
.It Fn puffs_framev_enqueue_cb pu pufbuf fcb fcb_arg
Enqueue the buffer
.Ar pufbuf
for outgoing data and immediately return.
Once a response arrives, the callback
.Fn fcb
will be called with the argument
.Ar fcb_arg .
The callback function
.Fn fcb
is responsible for freeing the buffer.
Returns 0 if the buffer was succesfully enqueued (not necessarily
delivered) and non-zero to signal a non-recoverable error.
.It Fn puffs_framev_enqueue_justsend pu pufbuf waitreply
Enqueue the buffer
.Ar pufbuf
for outgoing traffic and immediately return.
The parameter
.Ar waitreply
can be used to control if the buffer is to be freed immediately after
sending of if a response is expected and the buffer should be freed
only after the response arrives (receiving an unexpected message from
the server is treated as an error).
Returns 0 if the buffer was succesfully enqueued (not necessarily
delivered) and non-zero to signal a non-recoverable error.
.It Fn puffs_framev_readframe_fn pu pufbuf fd done
Callback function.
Read at most one frame from file descriptor
.Ar fd
into the buffer
.Ar pufbuf.
If a complete frame is read, the value pointed to by
.Ar done
must be set to 1.
This function should return 0 on success (even if a complete frame was not
yet read) and a non-zero
.Er errno
to signal a fatal error.
In case a fatal error is returned, the read side of the file descriptor
is marked closed.
This routine will be called with the same buffer argument until a
complete frame has been read.
May not block.
.It Fn puffs_framev_writeframe_fn pu pufbuf fd done
Write the frame contained in
.Ar pufbuf
to the file descriptor
.Ar fd .
In case the entire frame is succesfully written,
.Ar *done
should be set to 1.
This function should return 0 on success (even if a complete frame was not
yet written) and a non-zero
.Er errno
to signal a fatal error.
In case a fatal error is returned, the write side of the file descriptor
is marked closed.
This routine will be called with the same buffer argument until the
complete frame has been written.
May not block.
.Pp
It is a good idea to make sure that this function can handle a possible
.Dv SIGPIPE
caused by a closed connection.
For example, the file server can opt to trap
.Dv SIGPIPE
or, if writing to a socket, call
.Fn send
with the flag
.Dv MSG_NOSIGNAL
instead of using
.Fn write .
.It Fn puffs_framev_respcmp_fn pu pufbuf_cmp1 pufbuf_cmp2
Compare if
.Ar pufbuf_cmp1
is the response to the message in
.Ar pufbuf_cmp2 .
Should return 1 if true, 0 if false.
May not block.
.It Fn puffs_framev_fdnotify_fn pu fd what
Is called when the read- or write side of the file descriptor
.Ar fd
is closed.
It is called once for each side, the bitmask parameter
.Ar what
specified what is currently closed:
.Dv PUFFS_FBGONE_READ
and
.Dv PUFFS_FBGONE_WRITE
for read and write, respectively.
It is possible to test for both using
.Fn PUFFS_FBGONE_BOTH what .
.It Fn puffs_framev_init pu rfb wfb cmpfb fdnotfn
Initializes the given callbacks to the system.
They will be used when
.Fn puffs_mainloop
is called.
.Ar rfb ,
.Ar wfb
and
.Ar cmpfb
are mandatory.
If
.Ar fdnotfn
is not given, a routine which calls
.Fn puffs_framev_removefd
when both sides are closed is used.
.It Fn puffs_framev_addfd pu fd
Add file descriptor
.Ar fd
to be handled by the framework.
It is legal to add a file descriptor either before calling
.Fn puffs_mainloop
or at time when running.
.It Fn puffs_framev_removefd pu fd error
Remove file descriptor
.Ar fd
from the list of descriptors handled by the framework.
Removing a file descriptor causes all operations blocked either on
output or input to be released with the error value
.Ar error .
In case 0 is supplied as this parameter,
.Er ECONNRESET
is used.
.Pp
The file system
.B must
explicitly remove each fd it has added.
A good place to do this is
.Fn puffs_framev_fdnotify_fn .
.It Fn puffs_framev_unmountonclose pu fd what
This is library provided convinience routine for
.Fn puffs_framev_fdnotify_fn .
It unmounts the file system when both the read and write side are
closed.
It is useful for file systems, such as
.Xr mount_psshfs 8 ,
which depend on a single connection.
.El
