=head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
|
||
BIO_s_datagram() is a BIO implementation designed for use with network sockets | ||
which provide datagram semantics, such as UDP sockets. It is suitable for use | ||
with DTLSv1 or QUIC. | ||
|
||
Because BIO_s_datagram() has datagram semantics, a single BIO_write() call sends | ||
a single datagram and a single BIO_read() call receives a single datagram. If | ||
the size of the buffer passed to BIO_read() is inadequate, the datagram is | ||
silently truncated. | ||
|
||
For a memory-based BIO which provides datagram semantics identical to those of | ||
BIO_s_datagram(), see L<BIO_s_dgram_pair(3)>. | ||
|
||
This BIO supports the L<BIO_sendmmsg(3)> and L<BIO_recvmmsg(3)> functions. | ||
|
||
When using BIO_s_datagram(), it is important to note that: | ||
|
||
=over 4 | ||
|
||
=item | ||
|
||
This BIO can be used with either a connected or unconnected network socket. A | ||
connected socket is a network socket which has had L<BIO_connect(3)> or a | ||
similar OS-specific function called on it. Such a socket can only receive | ||
datagrams from the specified peer. Any other socket is an unconnected socket and | ||
can receive datagrams from any host. | ||
|
||
=item | ||
|
||
Despite their naming, | ||
neither BIO_ctrl_dgram_connect() nor BIO_ctrl_set_connected() cause a socket | ||
to become connected. These controls are provided to indicate to the BIO how | ||
the underlying socket is configured and how it is to be used; see below. | ||
|
||
=item | ||
|
||
Use of BIO_s_datagram() with an unconnected network socket is hazardous hecause | ||
any successful call to BIO_read() results in the peer address used for any | ||
subsequent call to BIO_write() being set to the source address of the datagram | ||
received by that call to BIO_read(). Thus, unless the caller calls | ||
BIO_dgram_set_peer() immediately prior to every call to BIO_write(), or never | ||
calls BIO_read(), any host on the network may cause future datagrams written to | ||
be redirected to that host. Therefore, it is recommended that users either use | ||
BIO_s_dgram() only with a connected socket, or, if using BIO_s_dgram() with an | ||
unconnected socket, to use the L<BIO_sendmmsg(3)> and L<BIO_recvmmsg(3)> methods | ||
only and forego use of L<BIO_read(3)> and L<BIO_write(3)>. An exception is where | ||
L<DTLSv1_listen(3)> must be used; see L<DTLSv1_listen(3)> for further | ||
discussion. | ||
|
||
=item | ||
|
||
Unlike L<BIO_read(3)> and L<BIO_write(3)>, the L<BIO_sendmmsg(3)> and | ||
L<BIO_recvmmsg(3)> methods are stateless and do not cause the internal state of | ||
the BIO_s_datagram() to change. | ||
|
||
=back | ||
|
||
Various controls are available for configuring the BIO_s_datagram() using | ||
L<BIO_ctrl(3)>: | ||
|
||
=over 4 | ||
|
||
=item BIO_ctrl_dgram_connect (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_CONNECT) | ||
|
||
This is equivalent to calling L<BIO_dgram_set_peer(3)>. | ||
|
||
Despite its name, this function does not cause the underlying socket to become | ||
connected. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_ctrl_set_connected (BIO_CTRL_SET_CONNECTED) | ||
|
||
This informs the BIO_s_datagram() whether the underlying socket has been | ||
connected, and therefore how the BIO_s_datagram() should attempt to use the | ||
socket. | ||
|
||
If the I<peer> argument is non-NULL, BIO_s_datagram() assumes that the | ||
underlying socket has been connected and will attempt to use the socket using OS | ||
APIs which do not specify peer addresses (for example, send(3) and recv(3) or | ||
similar). The I<peer> argument should specify the peer address to which the socket | ||
is connected. | ||
|
||
If the I<peer> argument is NULL, BIO_s_datagram() assumes that the underlying | ||
socket is not connected and will attempt to use the socket using an OS APIs | ||
which specify peer addresses (for example, sendto(3) and recvfrom(3)). | ||
|
||
This control does not affect the operation of L<BIO_sendmmsg(3)> or | ||
L<BIO_recvmmsg(3)>. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_dgram_get_peer (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_GET_PEER) | ||
|
||
This outputs a B<BIO_ADDR> which specifies one of the following values, | ||
whichever happened most recently: | ||
|
||
=over 4 | ||
|
||
=item | ||
|
||
The peer address last passed to BIO_dgram_set_peer(), BIO_ctrl_dgram_connect() | ||
or BIO_ctrl_set_connected(). | ||
|
||
=item | ||
|
||
The peer address of the datagram last received by a call to BIO_read(). | ||
|
||
=back | ||
|
||
=item BIO_dgram_set_peer (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_SET_PEER) | ||
|
||
Sets the peer address to be used for subsequent writes to this BIO. | ||
|
||
Warning: When used with an unconnected network socket, the value set may be | ||
modified by future calls to L<BIO_read(3)>, making use of BIO_s_datagram() | ||
hazardous when used with unconnected network sockets; see above. | ||
|
||
This does not affect the operation of L<BIO_sendmmsg(3)>. | ||
L<BIO_recvmmsg(3)> does not affect the value set by BIO_dgram_set_peer(). | ||
|
||
=item BIO_dgram_recv_timeout (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_GET_RECV_TIMER_EXP) | ||
|
||
Returns 1 if the last I/O operation performed on the BIO (for example, via a | ||
call to L<BIO_read(3)>) may have been caused by a receive timeout. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_dgram_send_timedout (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_GET_SEND_TIMER_EXP) | ||
|
||
Returns 1 if the last I/O operation performed on the BIO (for example, via a | ||
call to L<BIO_write(3)>) may have been caused by a send timeout. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_dgram_get_mtu_overhead (BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_GET_MTU_OVERHEAD) | ||
|
||
Returns a quantity in bytes which is a rough estimate of the number of bytes of | ||
overhead which should typically be added to a datagram payload size in order to | ||
estimate the final size of the Layer 3 (e.g. IP) packet which will contain the | ||
datagram. In most cases, the maximum datagram payload size which can be | ||
transmitted can be determined by determining the link MTU in bytes and | ||
subtracting the value returned by this call. | ||
|
||
The value returned by this call depends on the network layer protocol being | ||
used. | ||
|
||
The value returned is not fully reliable because datagram overheads can be | ||
higher in atypical network configurations, for example where IPv6 extension | ||
headers or IPv4 options are used. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_SET_DONT_FRAG | ||
|
||
If I<num> is nonzero, configures the underlying network socket to enable Don't | ||
Fragment mode, in which datagrams will be set with the IP Don't Fragment (DF) | ||
bit set. If I<num> is zero, Don't Fragment mode is disabled. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_QUERY_MTU | ||
|
||
Queries the OS for its assessment of the Path MTU for the destination to which | ||
the underlying network socket, and returns that Path MTU in bytes. This control | ||
can only be used with a connected socket. | ||
|
||
This is not supported on all platforms and depends on OS support being | ||
available. Returns 0 on failure. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_MTU_DISCOVER | ||
|
||
This control requests that Path MTU discovery be enabled on the underlying | ||
network socket. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_GET_FALLBACK_MTU | ||
|
||
Returns the estimated minimum size of datagram payload which should always be | ||
supported on the BIO. This size is determined by the minimum MTU required to be | ||
supported by the applicable underlying network layer. Use of datagrams of this | ||
size may lead to suboptimal performance, but should be routable in all | ||
circumstances. The value returned is the datagram payload size in bytes and does | ||
not include the size of layer 3 or layer 4 protocol headers. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_MTU_EXCEEDED | ||
|
||
Returns 1 if the last attempted write to the BIO failed due to the size of the | ||
attempted write exceeding the applicable MTU. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_SET_NEXT_TIMEOUT | ||
|
||
Accepts a pointer to a B<struct timeval>. If the time specified is zero, | ||
disables receive timeouts. Otherwise, configures the specified time interval as | ||
the receive timeout for the socket for the purposes of future L<BIO_read(3)> | ||
calls. | ||
|
||
=item BIO_CTRL_DGRAM_SET_PEEK_MODE | ||
|
||
If B<num> is nonzero, enables peek mode; otherwise, disables peek mode. Where | ||
peek mode is enabled, calls to L<BIO_read(3)> read datagrams from the underlying | ||
network socket in peek mode, meaning that a future call to L<BIO_read(3)> will | ||
yield the same datagram until peek mode is disabled. | ||
|
||
L<BIO_recvmmsg(3)> is not affected by this control. | ||
|
||
=back | ||
|
||
BIO_new_dgram() is a helper function which instantiates a BIO_s_datagram() and | ||
sets the BIO to use the socket given in I<fd> by calling BIO_set_fd(). | ||

on the circumstance; see discussion above. | ||
