Definition at line 197 of file block.h.

Function Documentation

◆ coap_add_block()

int coap_add_block	(	coap_pdu_t *	pdu,
		size_t	len,
		const uint8_t *	data,
		unsigned int	block_num,
		unsigned char	block_szx
	)

Adds the block_num block of size 1 << (block_szx + 4) from source data to pdu.

Parameters

pdu	The message to add the block.
len	The length of `data`.
data	The source data to fill the block with.
block_num	The actual block number.
block_szx	Encoded size of block `block_number`.

Returns: 1 on success, 0 otherwise.

◆ coap_add_data_blocked_response()

void coap_add_data_blocked_response	(	const coap_pdu_t *	request,
		coap_pdu_t *	response,
		uint16_t	media_type,
		int	maxage,
		size_t	length,
		const uint8_t *	data
	)

Adds the appropriate part of data to the response pdu.

If blocks are required, then the appropriate block will be added to the PDU and sent. Adds a ETAG option that is the hash of the entire data if the data is to be split into blocks Used by a request handler.

Note: The application will get called for every packet of a large body to process. Consider using coap_add_data_response_large() instead.

Parameters

request	The requesting pdu.
response	The response pdu.
media_type	The format of the data.
maxage	The maxmimum life of the data. If `-1`, then there is no maxage.
length	The total length of the data.
data	The entire data block to transmit.

Definition at line 144 of file block.c.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ coap_add_data_large_request()

int coap_add_data_large_request	(	coap_session_t *	session,
		coap_pdu_t *	pdu,
		size_t	length,
		const uint8_t *	data,
		coap_release_large_data_t	release_func,
		void *	app_ptr
	)

Associates given data with the pdu that is passed as second parameter.

If all the data can be transmitted in a single PDU, this is functionally the same as coap_add_data() except release_func (if not NULL) will get invoked after data transmission.

Used for a client request.

If the data spans multiple PDUs, then the data will get transmitted using BLOCK1 option with the addition of the SIZE1 option. The underlying library will handle the transmission of the individual blocks. Once the body of data has been transmitted (or a failure occurred), then release_func (if not NULL) will get called so the application can de-allocate the data based on app_data. It is the responsibility of the application not to change the contents of data until the data transfer has completed.

There is no need for the application to include the BLOCK1 option in the pdu.

coap_add_data_large_request() (or the alternative coap_add_data_large_*() functions) must be called only once per PDU and must be the last PDU update before the PDU is transmitted. The (potentially) initial data will get transmitted when coap_send() is invoked.

Note: COAP_BLOCK_USE_LIBCOAP must be set by coap_context_set_block_mode() for libcoap to work correctly when using this function.

Parameters

session	The session to associate the data with.
pdu	The PDU to associate the data with.
length	The length of data to transmit.
data	The data to transmit.
release_func	The function to call to de-allocate `data` or `NULL` if the function is not required.
app_ptr	A Pointer that the application can provide for when release_func() is called.

Returns: 1 if addition is successful, else 0.

◆ coap_add_data_large_response()

int coap_add_data_large_response	(	coap_resource_t *	resource,
		coap_session_t *	session,
		const coap_pdu_t *	request,
		coap_pdu_t *	response,
		const coap_string_t *	query,
		uint16_t	media_type,
		int	maxage,
		uint64_t	etag,
		size_t	length,
		const uint8_t *	data,
		coap_release_large_data_t	release_func,
		void *	app_ptr
	)

Associates given data with the response pdu that is passed as fourth parameter.

If all the data can be transmitted in a single PDU, this is functionally the same as coap_add_data() except release_func (if not NULL) will get invoked after data transmission. The MEDIA_TYPE, MAXAGE and ETAG options may be added in as appropriate.

Used by a server request handler to create the response.

If the data spans multiple PDUs, then the data will get transmitted using BLOCK2 (response) option with the addition of the SIZE2 and ETAG options. The underlying library will handle the transmission of the individual blocks. Once the body of data has been transmitted (or a failure occurred), then release_func (if not NULL) will get called so the application can de-allocate the data based on app_data. It is the responsibility of the application not to change the contents of data until the data transfer has completed.

There is no need for the application to include the BLOCK2 option in the pdu.

coap_add_data_large_response() (or the alternative coap_add_data_large*() functions) must be called only once per PDU and must be the last PDU update before returning from the request handler function.

Note: COAP_BLOCK_USE_LIBCOAP must be set by coap_context_set_block_mode() for libcoap to work correctly when using this function.

Parameters

resource	The resource the data is associated with.
session	The coap session.
request	The requesting pdu.
response	The response pdu.
query	The query taken from the (original) requesting pdu.
media_type	The format of the data.
maxage	The maxmimum life of the data. If `-1`, then there is no maxage.
etag	ETag to use if not 0.
length	The total length of the data.
data	The entire data block to transmit.
release_func	The function to call to de-allocate `data` or NULL if the function is not required.
app_ptr	A Pointer that the application can provide for when release_func() is called.

Returns: 1 if addition is successful, else 0.

		size_t	length,
		const uint8_t *	data,
		size_t	offset,
		size_t	total
	)

Re-assemble payloads into a body.

Parameters

body_data	The pointer to the data for the body holding the representation so far or NULL if the first time.
length	The length of `data`.
data	The payload data to update the body with.
offset	The offset of the `data` into the body.
total	The estimated total size of the body.

Returns: The current representation of the body or NULL if error. If NULL, body_data will have been de-allocated.

◆ coap_cancel_observe()

int coap_cancel_observe	(	coap_session_t *	session,
		coap_binary_t *	token,
		coap_pdu_type_t	message_type
	)

Cancel an observe that is being tracked by the client large receive logic.

(coap_context_set_block_mode() has to be called) This will trigger the sending of an observe cancel pdu to the server.

Parameters

session	The session that is being used for the observe.
token	The original token used to initiate the observation.
message_type	The COAP_MESSAGE_ type (NON or CON) to send the observe cancel pdu as.

Returns: 1 if observe cancel transmission initiation is successful, else 0.

◆ coap_context_set_block_mode()

void coap_context_set_block_mode	(	coap_context_t *	context,
		uint8_t	block_mode
	)

Set the context level CoAP block handling bits for handling RFC7959.

These bits flow down to a session when a session is created and if the peer does not support something, an appropriate bit may get disabled in the session block_mode. The session block_mode then flows down into coap_crcv_t or coap_srcv_t where again an appropriate bit may get disabled.

Note: This function must be called before the session is set up.

Note: COAP_BLOCK_USE_LIBCOAP must be set if libcoap is to do all the block tracking and requesting, otherwise the application will have to do all of this work (the default if coap_context_set_block_mode() is not called).

Parameters

context	The coap_context_t object.
block_mode	Zero or more COAP_BLOCK_ or'd options

Definition at line 249 of file block.c.

◆ coap_get_block()

int coap_get_block	(	const coap_pdu_t *	pdu,
		coap_option_num_t	number,
		coap_block_t *	block
	)

Initializes block from pdu.

number must be either COAP_OPTION_BLOCK1 or COAP_OPTION_BLOCK2. When option number was found in pdu, block is initialized with values from this option and the function returns the value 1. Otherwise, 0 is returned.

Parameters

pdu	The pdu to search for option `number`.
number	The option number to search for (must be COAP_OPTION_BLOCK1 or COAP_OPTION_BLOCK2).
block	The block structure to initilize.

Returns: 1 on success, 0 otherwise.

◆ coap_more_blocks()

COAP_STATIC_INLINE int coap_more_blocks	(	size_t	data_len,
		unsigned int	num,
		uint16_t	szx
	)

Checks if more than num blocks are required to deliver data_len bytes of data for a block size of 1 << (szx + 4).

Definition at line 70 of file block.h.

◆ coap_opt_block_num()

unsigned int coap_opt_block_num ( const coap_opt_t * block_opt )

◆ coap_write_block_opt()

int coap_write_block_opt	(	coap_block_t *	block,
		coap_option_num_t	number,
		coap_pdu_t *	pdu,
		size_t	data_length
	)

Writes a block option of type number to message pdu.

If the requested block size is too large to fit in pdu, it is reduced accordingly. An exception is made for the final block when less space is required. The actual length of the resource is specified in data_length.

This function may change *block to reflect the values written to pdu. As the function takes into consideration the remaining space pdu, no more options should be added after coap_write_block_opt() has returned.

Parameters

block	The block structure to use. On return, this object is updated according to the values that have been written to `pdu`.
number	COAP_OPTION_BLOCK1 or COAP_OPTION_BLOCK2.
pdu	The message where the block option should be written.
data_length	The length of the actual data that will be added the `pdu` by calling coap_add_block().

Returns: 1 on success, or a negative value on error.
