If len uses up the remaining length of the current segment, then the segment is deleted and the list head moves to the next segment if any.

Returns the number of bytes left in the current segment. 0 indicates that the buflist is empty (there are no segments on the buflist).

◆ lws_cmdline_option()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN const char* lws_cmdline_option	(	int	argc,

Spawn lws as a background process, taking care of various things

◆ lws_get_allocated_heap()

size_t lws_get_allocated_heap ( void )

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_get_allocated_heap() - if the platform supports it, returns amount of heap allocated by lws itself

On glibc currently, this reports the total amount of current logical heap allocation, found by tracking the amount allocated by lws_malloc() and friends and accounting for freed allocations via lws_free().

This is useful for confirming where processwide heap allocations actually come from... this number represents all lws internal allocations, for fd tables, wsi allocations, ah, etc combined. It doesn't include allocations from user code, since lws_malloc() etc are not exported from the library.

On other platforms, it always returns 0.

◆ lws_get_child()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN struct lws* LWS_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT lws_get_child ( const struct lws * wsi )

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_get_count_threads(): how many service threads the context uses

Parameters

context the lws context

By default this is always 1, if you asked for more than lws can handle it will clip the number of threads. So you can use this to find out how many threads are actually in use.

◆ lws_get_effective_uid_gid()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN void lws_get_effective_uid_gid	(	struct lws_context *	context,
		uid_t *	uid,

lws_get_effective_uid_gid() - find out eventual uid and gid while still root

Parameters

context	lws context
uid	pointer to uid result
gid	pointer to gid result

This helper allows you to find out what the uid and gid for the process will be set to after the privileges are dropped, beforehand. So while still root, eg in LWS_CALLBACK_PROTOCOL_INIT, you can arrange things like cache dir and subdir creation / permissions down /var/cache dynamically.

HTTP/1 connections will always return the incoming wsi HTTP/2 connections may return a different wsi that has the tcp connection

◆ lws_get_parent()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN struct lws* LWS_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT lws_get_parent ( const struct lws * wsi )

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_get_parent() - get parent wsi or NULL

Parameters

Parameters

context	the lws_context used to get the random
dest	destination for hex ascii chars
len	the number of bytes the buffer dest points to can hold

This creates random ascii-hex strings up to a given length, with a terminating NUL.

There will not be any characters produced that are not 0-9, a-f, so it's safe to go straight into, eg, JSON.

◆ lws_hex_to_byte_array()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int lws_hex_to_byte_array	(	const char *	h,
		uint8_t *	dest,
		int	max
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

Parameters

h	incoming NUL-terminated hex string
dest	array to fill with binary decodes of hex pairs from h
max	maximum number of bytes dest can hold, must be at least half the size of strlen(h)

This converts hex strings into an array of 8-bit representations, ie the input "abcd" produces two bytes of value 0xab and 0xcd.

Returns number of bytes produced into dest, or -1 on error.

Errors include non-hex chars and an odd count of hex chars in the input string.

◆ lws_humanize()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int lws_humanize	(	char *	buf,

Parameters

buf	result string buffer
len	remaining length in `buf`
value	the uint64_t value to represent
schema	and array of scaling factors and units

This produces a concise string representation of value, referencing the schema schema of scaling factors and units to find the smallest way to render it.

Three schema are exported from lws for general use, humanize_schema_si, which represents as, eg, " 22.130Gi" or " 128 "; humanize_schema_si_bytes which is the same but shows, eg, " 22.130GiB", and humanize_schema_us, which represents a count of us as a human-readable time like " 14.350min", or " 1.500d".

You can produce your own schema.

◆ lws_is_cgi()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int lws_is_cgi ( struct lws * wsi )

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_is_cgi() - find out if this wsi is running a cgi process

Parameters

wsi	lws connection

◆ lws_is_ssl()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int lws_is_ssl ( struct lws * wsi )

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_is_ssl() - Find out if connection is using SSL

Parameters

wsi	websocket connection to check

Returns nonzero if the wsi is inside a tls tunnel, else zero.

◆ lws_json_simple_find()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN const char* lws_json_simple_find	(	const char *	buf,
		size_t	len,
		const char *	name,
		size_t *	alen
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_json_simple_find(): dumb JSON string parser

Parameters

buf	the JSON to search
len	the length of the JSON to search
name	the name field to search the JSON for, eg, "\"myname":"
alen	set to the length of the argument part if non-NULL return

Either returns NULL if name is not present in buf, or returns a pointer to the argument body of the first instance of name, and sets *alen to the length of the argument body.

This can cheaply handle fishing out, eg, myarg from {"myname": "myarg"} by searching for "\"myname":". It will return a pointer to myarg and set *alen to 5. It equally handles args like "myname": true, or "myname":false, and null or numbers are all returned as delimited strings.

Anything more complicated like the value is a subobject or array, you should parse it using a full parser like lejp. This is suitable is the JSON is and will remain short and simple, and contains well-known names amongst other extensible JSON members.

◆ lws_json_simple_strcmp()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int lws_json_simple_strcmp	(	const char *	buf,
		size_t	len,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	comp
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_json_simple_strcmp(): dumb JSON string comparison

Parameters

buf	the JSON to search
len	the length of the JSON to search
name	the name field to search the JSON for, eg, "\"myname":"
comp	return a strcmp of this and the discovered argument

Helper that combines lws_json_simple_find() with strcmp() if it was found. If the name was not found, returns -1. Otherwise returns a strcmp() between what was found and comp, ie, return 0 if they match or something else if they don't.

If the JSON is relatively simple and you want to target constrained devices, this can be a good choice. If the JSON may be complex, you should use a full JSON parser.

◆ lws_now_secs()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN unsigned long lws_now_secs ( void )

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_now_secs(): return seconds since 1970-1-1

◆ lws_now_usecs()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN lws_usec_t lws_now_usecs ( void )

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_now_usecs(): return useconds since 1970-1-1

◆ lws_nstrstr()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN const char* lws_nstrstr	(	const char *	buf,
		size_t	len,
		const char *	name,
		size_t	nl
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_nstrstr(): like strstr for length-based strings without terminating NUL

Parameters

buf	the string to search
len	the length of the string to search
name	the substring to search for
nl	the length of name

Returns NULL if name is not present in buf. Otherwise returns the address of the first instance of name in buf.

Neither buf nor name need to be NUL-terminated.

◆ lws_open()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int lws_open	(	const char *	__file,
		int	__oflag,
			...
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_open() - platform-specific wrapper for open that prepares the fd

Parameters

__file	the filepath to open
__oflag	option flags

This is a wrapper around platform open() that sets options on the fd according to lws policy. Currently that is FD_CLOEXEC to stop the opened fd being available to any child process forked by user code.

◆ lws_parse_uri()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int LWS_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT lws_parse_uri	(	char *	p,
		const char **	prot,
		const char **	ads,
		int *	port,
		const char **	path
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_parse_uri: cut up prot:/ads:port/path into pieces Notice it does so by dropping '\0' into input string and the leading / on the path is consequently lost

Parameters

p	incoming uri string.. will get written to
prot	result pointer for protocol part (https://)
ads	result pointer for address part
port	result pointer for port part
path	result pointer for path part

You may also refer to unix socket addresses, using a '+' at the start of the address. In this case, the address should end with ':', which is treated as the separator between the address and path (the normal separator '/' is a valid part of the socket path). Eg,

http://+/var/run/mysocket:/my/path

If the first character after the + is '@', it's interpreted by lws client processing as meaning to use linux abstract namespace sockets, the @ is replaced with a '\0' before use.

◆ lws_remaining_packet_payload()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN size_t lws_remaining_packet_payload ( struct lws * wsi )

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_remaining_packet_payload() - Bytes to come before "overall" rx fragment is complete

Parameters

wsi	Websocket instance (available from user callback)

This tracks how many bytes are left in the current ws fragment, according to the ws length given in the fragment header.

If the message was in a single fragment, and there is no compression, this is the same as "how much data is left to read for this message".

However, if the message is being sent in multiple fragments, this will reflect the unread amount of the current fragment, not the message. With ws, it is legal to not know the length of the message before it completes.

Additionally if the message is sent via the negotiated permessage-deflate extension, this number only tells the amount of compressed data left to be read, since that is the only information available at the ws layer.

◆ lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN void lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol	(	const struct lws_context *	context,
		const struct lws_protocols *	protocol
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_rx_flow_allow_all_protocol() - Allow all connections with this protocol to receive

When the user server code realizes it can accept more input, it can call this to have the RX flow restriction removed from all connections using the given protocol.

Parameters

context	lws_context
protocol	all connections using this protocol will be allowed to receive

◆ lws_rx_flow_control()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int lws_rx_flow_control	(	struct lws *	wsi,
		int	enable
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_rx_flow_control() - Enable and disable socket servicing for received packets.

If the output side of a server process becomes choked, this allows flow control for the input side.

Parameters

wsi	Websocket connection instance to get callback for
enable	0 = disable read servicing for this connection, 1 = enable

If you need more than one additive reason for rxflow control, you can give iLWS_RXFLOW_REASON_APPLIES_ENABLE or _DISABLE together with one or more of b5..b0 set to idicate which bits to enable or disable. If any bits are enabled, rx on the connection is suppressed.

LWS_RXFLOW_REASON_FLAG_PROCESS_NOW flag may also be given to force any change in rxflowbstatus to benapplied immediately, this should be used when you are changing a wsi flow control state from outside a callback on that wsi.

◆ lws_set_allocator()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN void lws_set_allocator ( void *(*)(void *ptr, size_t size, const char *reason) realloc )

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_set_allocator() - custom allocator support

Parameters

realloc Allows you to replace the allocator (and deallocator) used by lws

◆ lws_set_wsi_user()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN void lws_set_wsi_user	(	struct lws *	wsi,
		void *	user
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_set_wsi_user() - set the user data associated with the client connection

Parameters

wsi	lws connection
user	user data

By default lws allocates this and it's not legal to externally set it yourself. However client connections may have it set externally when the connection is created... if so, this api can be used to modify it at runtime additionally.

◆ lws_snprintf()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int lws_snprintf	(	char *	str,
		size_t	size,
		const char *	format,
			...
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_snprintf(): snprintf that truncates the returned length too

Parameters

str	destination buffer
size	bytes left in destination buffer
format	format string
...	args for format

This lets you correctly truncate buffers by concatenating lengths, if you reach the limit the reported length doesn't exceed the limit.

◆ lws_strncpy()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN char* lws_strncpy	(	char *	dest,
		const char *	src,
		size_t	size
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>

lws_strncpy(): strncpy that guarantees NUL on truncated copy

Parameters

dest	destination buffer
src	source buffer
size	bytes left in destination buffer

This lets you correctly truncate buffers by concatenating lengths, if you reach the limit the reported length doesn't exceed the limit.

◆ lws_tls_jit_trust_blob_queury_skid()

LWS_VISIBLE LWS_EXTERN int lws_tls_jit_trust_blob_queury_skid	(	const void *	_blob,

		const uint8_t *	skid,
		size_t	skid_len,
		const uint8_t **	prpder,
		size_t *	prder_len
	)

#include <include/libwebsockets/lws-misc.h>
