.Sh NAME

.Nm atalk
|
|
.Nd AppleTalk Protocol Family
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In netatalk/at.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn AppleTalk
|
|
Protocol Family provides presentation layer support for the AppleTalk
|
|
Datagram Delivery Protocol (DDP), using the SOCK_DGRAM socket type.
|
|
In addition, access to in-kernel AppleTalk routing tables and network
|
|
interface configurations is provided.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The AppleTalk Protocol Suite provides support for five kinds of
|
|
physical media: LocalTalk (230kbps wire-or'd serial), Ethernet,
|
|
FDDI, Token Ring, and asynchronous serial connections (using either
|
|
AppleTalk Remote Access
|
|
.Pq Tn ARA
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn PPP
|
|
).
|
|
Currently,
|
|
.Nx Ns 's
|
|
AppleTalk implementation supports Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
AppleTalk packets are encapsulated on the Ethernet using the EtherTalk
|
|
Link Access Protocol (ELAP).
|
|
Local network address resolution is
|
|
handled using the AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol (AARP).
|
|
Neither of these protocols is exposed to user-mode applications.
|
|
.Sh ADDRESSING
|
|
AppleTalk addresses are three byte quantities, stored in network
|
|
byte order.
|
|
The include file
|
|
.Aq Pa netatalk/at.h
|
|
defines the AppleTalk address format.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sockets in the AppleTalk protocol family use the following address
|
|
structure:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct sockaddr_at {
|
|
uint8_t sat_len;
|
|
sa_family_t sat_family;
|
|
uint8_t sat_port;
|
|
struct at_addr sat_addr;
|
|
union {
|
|
struct netrange r_netrange;
|
|
char r_zero[8];
|
|
} sat_range;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The port of a socket may be set with
|
|
.Xr bind 2 .
|
|
The node for
|
|
.Xr bind 2
|
|
must always be
|
|
.Dv ATADDR_ANYNODE :
|
|
.Dq this node .
|
|
The net
|
|
.\"may
|
|
must
|
|
be
|
|
.Dv ATADDR_ANYNET .
|
|
.\"or
|
|
.\".Dv ATADDR_LATENET .
|
|
.Dv ATADDR_ANYNET
|
|
corresponds to the machine's
|
|
.Dq primary
|
|
address (the first configured).
|
|
.\".Dv ATADDR_LATENET
|
|
.\"causes the address in outgoing packets to be determined when a packet
|
|
.\"is sent, i.e. determined late.
|
|
.\".Dv ATADDR_LATENET
|
|
.\"is equivalent to opening one socket for each network interface.
|
|
The port of a socket and
|
|
.\"either
|
|
the primary address
|
|
.\"or
|
|
.\".Dv ATADDR_LATENET
|
|
are returned with
|
|
.Xr getsockname 2 .
|
|
.Sh PROTOCOLS
|
|
The AppleTalk protocol family comprises the
|
|
.Tn DDP
|
|
datagram delivery protocol,
|
|
AppleTalk Data Stream Protocol
|
|
.Pq Tn ADSP ,
|
|
AppleTalk Echo Protocol
|
|
.Pq Tn AEP ,
|
|
AppleTalk Filing Protocol
|
|
.Pq Tn AFP ,
|
|
AppleTalk Session Protocol
|
|
.Pq Tn ASP ,
|
|
AppleTalk Transaction Protocol
|
|
.Pq Tn ATP ,
|
|

|
|
.Pq Tn NBP ,

|
|
.Pq Tn PAP ,
|
|
and Zone Information Protocol
|
|
.Pq Tn ZIP .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Tn DDP
|
|
is implemented in the kernel as
|
|
.Dv SOCK_DGRAM
|
|
sockets in the
|
|
.Dv AF_APPLETALK
|
|
address family.
|
|
.Nx
|
|
implements all other
|
|
.Tn AppleTalk
|
|
protocols using the
|
|
.Tn Netatalk
|
|
package.
|
|
.Tn Netatalk
|
|
implements all functions except for
|
|
.Tn ADSP
|
|
and an
|
|
.Tn AFP
|
|
client.
|
|
.Tn AEP ,
|
|
.Tn NBP ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn ZIP
|
|
services are provided by the
|
|
.Tn atalkd
|
|
daemon.
|
|
.Tn ASP
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn ATP
|
|
services are provided by a user library.
|
|
.Tn PAP
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn AFP
|
|
services are provided by user programs and daemons.
