+Overview of ICE
+.XS
+\*(SN Overview of ICE
+.XE
+.LP
+There are numerous possible inter-client protocols, with many similarities
+and common needs - authentication, version negotiation, byte
+order negotiation, and so on.
+The Inter-Client Exchange (ICE) protocol is intended to provide a framework
+for building such protocols, allowing them to make use of common negotiation
+mechanisms and to be multiplexed over a single transport connection.
+.NH 1
+The ICE Library - C Language Interface to ICE
+.XS
+\*(SN The ICE Library - C Language Interface to ICE
+.XE
+.LP
+A client that wishes to utilize ICE must first register the protocols it
+understands with the ICE library. Each protocol is dynamically assigned
+a major opcode ranging from 1-255 (two clients can use different
+major opcodes for the same protocol). The next step for the client is either
+to open a connection with another client or to wait for connections made
+by other clients. Authentication may be required. A client can both
+initiate connections with other clients and be
+waiting for clients to connect to itself (a nested session manager is an
+example). Once an ICE connection is established between the two clients, one
+of the clients needs to initiate a
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+in order to
+"activate" a given protocol. Once the other client accepts the
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+(once again, authentication may be required), the
+two clients are ready to start passing messages specific to that protocol to
+each other. Multiple protocols may be active on a single ICE connection.
+Clients are responsible for notifying the ICE library when a protocol is no
+longer active on an ICE connection, although ICE does not define how each
+subprotocol triggers a protocol shutdown.
+.LP
+The ICE library utilizes callbacks to process incoming messages. Using
+callbacks allows
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+messages and authentication to happen
+behind the scenes. An additional benefit is that messages never need
+to be buffered up by the library when the client blocks waiting for a
+particular message.
+.NH 1
+Intended Audience
+.XS
+\*(SN Intended Audience
+.XE
+.LP
+This document is intended primarily for implementors of protocol libraries
+layered on top of ICE. Typically, applications that wish to utilize ICE
+will make calls into individual protocol libraries rather than directly
+make calls into the ICE library. However, some applications will have to
+make some initial calls into the ICE library in order to accept ICE
+connections (for example, a session manager accepting connections from
+clients). But in general, protocol libraries should be designed to hide
+the inner details of ICE from applications.
+.NH 1
+Header Files and Library Name
+.XS
+\*(SN Header Files and Library Name
+.XE
+.LP
+The header file
+.Pn < X11/ICE/ICElib.h >
+defines all of the ICElib data structures and function prototypes.
+.PN ICElib.h
+includes the header file
+.Pn < X11/ICE/ICE.h >,
+which defines all of the ICElib constants.
+Protocol libraries that need to read and write messages should include
+the header file
+.Pn < X11/ICE/ICEmsg.h >.
+.LP
+Applications should link against ICElib using -lICE.
+.NH 1
+Note on Prefixes
+.XS
+\*(SN Note on Prefixes
+.XE
+.LP
+The following name prefixes are used in the library to distinguish between
+a client that initiates a
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+and a client that
+responds with a
+.PN ProtocolReply :

+\- Ice Protocol Originator

+.PN IcePa
+\- Ice Protocol Acceptor
+.NH 1
+Protocol Registration
+.XS
+\*(SN Protocol Registration
+.XE
+.LP
+In order for two clients to exchange messages for a given protocol, each
+side must register the protocol with the ICE library. The purpose of
+registration is for each side to obtain a major opcode for the protocol
+and to provide callbacks for processing messages and handling authentication.
+There are two separate registration functions:
+.IP \(bu 5
+One to handle the side that does a
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+.IP \(bu 5
+One to handle the side that responds with a
+.PN ProtocolReply
+.LP
+It is recommended that protocol registration occur before the two clients
+establish an ICE connection. If protocol registration occurs after an
+ICE connection is created, there can be a brief interval of time in which
+a
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+is received, but the protocol is not registered.
+If it is not possible to register a protocol before the creation of an
+ICE connection, proper precautions should be taken to avoid the above race
+condition.

+The
+.PN IceRegisterForProtocolSetup

+.nH 1 "Purpose and Goals"
+.LP
+In discussing a variety of protocols \(em existing, under development, and
+hypothetical \(em it was noted that they have many elements in common. Most
+protocols need mechanisms for authentication, for
+version negotiation,
+and for setting up and taking down connections. There are also
+cases where the same two parties need to talk to each other using multiple
+protocols. For example, an embedding relationship between two parties is
+likely to require the simultaneous use of session management, data transfer,
+focus negotiation, and command notification protocols. While these are
+logically separate protocols, it is desirable for them to share as many
+pieces of implementation as possible.
+.LP
+The
+.I
+Inter-Client Exchange
+.R
+(ICE) protocol provides a generic framework for building protocols on top of
+reliable, byte-stream transport connections. It provides basic mechanisms
+for setting up and shutting down connections, for performing authentication,
+for negotiating
+versions,
+and for reporting errors. The
+protocols running within an ICE connection are referred to here as
+.I subprotocols.
+ICE provides facilities for each subprotocol to do its own version
+negotiation, authentication, and error reporting. In addition, if two
+parties are communicating using several different subprotocols, ICE will
+allow them to share the same transport layer connection.
+.nH 1 "Overview of the protocol"
+.LP
+Through some mechanism outside ICE, two parties make themselves known to
+each other and agree that they would like to communicate using an ICE
+subprotocol. ICE assumes that this negotation includes some notion by which
+the parties will decide which is the \*Qoriginating\*U party and which is
+the \*Qanswering\*U party. The negotiation will also need to provide the
+originating party with a name or address of the answering party. Examples
+of mechanisms by which parties can make themselves known to each other are
+the X selection mechanism, environment
+variables, and shared files.
+.LP
+The originating party first determines whether there is an existing ICE
+connection between the two parties. If there is, it can re-use the existing
+connection and move directly to the setup of the subprotocol. If no ICE
+connection exists, the originating party will open a transport connection to
+the answering party and will start ICE connection setup.
+.LP
+The ICE connection setup dialog consists of three major parts: byte order
+exchange, authentication, and connection information exchange. The first
+message in each direction is a
+.PN ByteOrder
+message telling which byte order will be used by the sending party in
+messages that it sends. After that, the originating party sends a
+.PN ConnectionSetup
+message giving information about itself (vendor name and release number) and
+giving a list of ICE version numbers it is capable of supporting and a list
+of authentication schemes it is willing to accept. Authentication is
+optional. If no authentication is required, the answering party responds
+with a
+.PN ConnectionReply
+message giving information about itself, and the connection setup is complete.
+.LP
+If the connection setup is to be authenticated, the answering party will
+respond with an
+.PN AuthenticationRequired
+message instead of a
+.PN ConnectionReply
+message. The parties then exchange
+.PN AuthenticationReply
+and
+.PN AuthenticationNextPhase
+messages until authentication is complete, at which time the answering party
+finally sends its
+.PN ConnectionReply
+message.
+.LP
+Once an ICE connection is established (or an existing connection reused),
+the originating party starts subprotocol negotiation by sending a
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+message. This message gives the name of the subprotocol that the parties
+have agreed to use, along with the ICE major opcode that the originating
+party has assigned to that subprotocol. Authentication can also occur for
+the subprotocol, independently of authentication for the connection.
+Subprotocol authentication is optional. If there is no subprotocol
+authentication, the answering party responds with a
+.PN ProtocolReply
+message, giving the ICE major opcode that it has assigned
+for the subprotocol.
+.LP
+Subprotocols are authenticated independently of each other, because they may
+have differing security requirements. If there is authentication for this
+particular subprotocol, it takes place before the answering party emits the
+.PN ProtocolReply
+message, and it uses the
+.PN AuthenticationRequired ,
+.PN AuthenticationReply ,
+and
+.PN AuthenticationNextPhase
+messages, just as for the connection authentication. Only when subprotocol
+authentication is complete does the answering party send its
+.PN ProtocolReply
+message.
+.LP
+When a subprotocol has been set up and authenticated, the two parties can
+communicate using messages defined by the subprotocol. Each message has two
+opcodes: a major opcode and a minor opcode. Each party will send messages
+using the major opcode it has assigned in its
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+or
+.PN ProtocolReply
+message. These opcodes will, in general, not be the same. For a particular
+subprotocol, each party will need to keep track of two major opcodes: the
+major opcode it uses when it sends messages, and the major opcode it expects
+to see in messages it receives. The minor opcode values and semantics are
+defined by each individual subprotocol.
+.LP
+Each subprotocol will have one or more messages whose semantics are that the
+subprotocol is to be shut down. Whether this is done unilaterally or is
+performed through negotiation is defined by each subprotocol. Once a
+subprotocol is shut down, its major opcodes are removed from
+use; no further messages on this subprotocol should be sent until the
+opcode is reestablished with
+.PN ProtocolSetup .
+.LP
+ICE has a facility to negotiate the closing of the connection when there are
+no longer any active subprotocols. When either party decides that no
+subprotocols are active, it can send a
+.PN WantToClose
+message. If the other party agrees to close the connection, it can simply
+do so. If the other party wants to keep the connection open, it can
+indicate its desire by replying with a
+.PN NoClose
+message.
+.\" XXX - Note that it's likely that both parties will WantToClose at once.
+.LP
+It should be noted that the party that initiates the connection isn't
+necessarily the same as the one that initiates setting up a subprotocol.
+For example, suppose party A connects to party B. Party A will issue the
+.PN ConnectionSetup
+message and party B will respond with a
+.PN ConnectionReply
+message. (The authentication steps are omitted here for brevity.)
+Typically, party A will also issue the
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+message and expect a
+.PN ProtocolReply
+from party B. Once the connection is established, however, either party may
+initiate the negotiation of a subprotocol. Continuing this example, party B
+may decide that it needs to set up a subprotocol for communication with
+party A. Party B would issue the
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+message and expect a
+.PN ProtocolReply
+from party A.
+.nH 1 "Data Types"
+.LP
+ICE messages contain several types of data. Byte order is negotiated in
+the initial connection messages; in general data is sent in the sender's
+byte order and the receiver is required to swap it appropriately.
+In order to support 64-bit machines, ICE messages
+are padded to multiples of 8 bytes. All messages are designed so that
+fields are \*Qnaturally\*U aligned on 16-, 32-, and 64-bit boundaries.
+The following formula gives the number of bytes necessary
+to pad \fIE\fP bytes to the next multiple of \fIb\fP\^:
+.DS
+pad(\fIE\fP, \fIb\fP\^) = (\fIb\fP \- (\fIE\fP mod \fIb\fP\^)) mod \fIb\fP

+.nH 1 "ICE X Rendezvous Protocol"
+.nH 2 "Introduction"
+.LP
+The ICE X rendezvous protocol is designed to answer the need posed
+in Section 2 for one mechanism by which two clients interested in
+communicating via ICE are able to exchange the necessary information.
+This protocol is appropriate for any two ICE clients who also have X
+connections to the same X server.
+.nH 2 "Overview of ICE X Rendezvous"
+.LP
+The ICE X Rendezvous Mechanism requires clients willing to act as ICE
+originating parties to pre-register the ICE subprotocols they support in an
+ICE_PROTOCOLS property on their top-level window. Clients willing to
+act as ICE answering parties then send an ICE_PROTOCOLS X
+.PN ClientMessage
+event to the ICE originating parties. This
+.PN ClientMessage
+event identifies
+the ICE network IDs of the ICE answering party as well as the ICE
+subprotocol it wishes to speak. Upon receipt of this message the ICE
+originating party uses the information to establish an ICE connection
+with the ICE answering party.
+.nH 2 "Registering Known Protocols"
+.LP
+Clients willing to act as ICE originating parties preregister
+the ICE subprotocols they support in a list of atoms held by an
+ICE_PROTOCOLS property on their top-level window. The name of each
+atom listed in ICE_PROTOCOLS must be of the form
+ICE_INITIATE_\fIpname\fP where \fIpname\fP is the name of the ICE
+subprotocol the ICE originating party is willing to speak, as would be
+specified in an ICE
+.PN ProtocolSetup
+message.
+.LP
+Clients with an ICE_INITIATE_\fIpname\fP atom in the ICE_PROTOCOLS property
+on their top-level windows must respond to
+.PN ClientMessage

+.nH 2 "Initiating the Rendezvous"
+.LP
+To initiate the rendezvous a client acting as an ICE answering
+party sends an X
+.PN ClientMessage
+event of type ICE_PROTOCOLS to an ICE
+originating party. This ICE_PROTOCOLS client message contains the
+information the ICE originating party needs to identify the ICE
+subprotocol the two parties will use as well as the ICE network
+identification string of the ICE answering party.
+.LP
+Before the ICE answering party sends the client message event it must
+define a text property on one of its windows. This text property
+contains the ICE answering party's ICE network identification string
+and will be used by ICE originating parties to determine the ICE
+answering party's list of ICE network IDs.
+.LP
+The property name will normally be ICE_NETWORK_IDS, but may be any
+name of the ICE answering party's choosing. The format for this text
+property is as follows:

+.NT "Advice to Implementors"
+Clients willing to act as ICE originating parties must update the
+ICE_PROTOCOLS property on their top-level windows to include the
+ICE_INITIATE_\fIpname\fP atom(s) identifying the ICE subprotocols they
+speak. The method a client uses to update the ICE_PROTOCOLS property
+to include ICE_INITIATE_\fIpname\fP atoms is implementation dependent, but
+the client must ensure the integrity of the list to prevent the
+accidental omission of any atoms previously in the list.
+.LP
+When setting up the ICE network IDs text property on one of its
+windows, the ICE answering party can determine its comma-separated
+list of ICE network IDs by calling IceComposeNetworkIdList() after
+making a call to IceListenForConnections(). The method an ICE
+answering party uses to find the top-level windows of clients willing
+to act as ICE originating parties is dependent upon the nature of the
+answering party. Some may wish to use the approach of requiring the
+user to click on a client's window. Others wishing to find existing
+clients without requiring user interaction might use something similar
+to the XQueryTree() method used by several freely-available
+applications. In order for the ICE answering party to become
+automatically aware of new clients willing to originate ICE
+connections, the ICE answering party might register for
+SubstructureNotify events on the root window of the display. When it
+receives a SubstructureNotify event, the ICE answering party can check
+to see if it was the result of the creation of a new client top-level
+window with an ICE_PROTOCOLS property.
+.LP
+In any case, before attempting to use this ICE X Rendezvous Mechanism
+ICE answering parties wishing to speak ICE subprotocol \fIpname\fP should
+check for the ICE_INITIATE_\fIpname\fP atom in the ICE_PROTOCOLS property on
+a client's top-level window. A client that does not include an
+ICE_INITIATE_\fIpname\fP atom in a ICE_PROTOCOLS property on some top-level
+window should be assumed to ignore
+.PN ClientMessage
+events of type
+ICE_PROTOCOLS specifying ICE_INITIATE_\fIpname\fP for ICE subprotocol
+\fIpname\fP.
+.NE
+.nH 2 "ICE Subprotocol Versioning"
+.LP
+Although the version of the ICE subprotocol could be passed in the
+client message event, ICE provides more a flexible version negotiation
+mechanism than will fit within a single
+.PN ClientMessage
+event. Because
+of this, ICE subprotocol versioning is handled within the ICE protocol
+setup phase.
+.NT Example
+Clients wish to communicate with each other via an ICE subprotocol
+known as "RAP V1.0". In RAP terminology one party, the "agent",
+communicates with other RAP-enabled applications on demand. The
+user may direct the agent to establish communication with a specific
+application by clicking on the application's window, or the agent may
+watch for new application windows to be created and automatically
+establish communication.
+.LP
+During startup the ICE answering party (the agent) first calls
+IceRegisterForProtocolReply() with a list of
+the versions (i.e., 1.0) of RAP the agent can speak. The answering
+party then calls IceListenForConnections() followed by
+IceComposeNetworkIdList() and stores the resulting ICE network IDs
+string in a text property on one of its windows.
+.LP
+When the answering party (agent) finds a client with which it wishes to
+speak, it checks to see if the ICE_INITIATE_RAP atom is in the ICE_PROTOCOLS
+property on the client's top-level window. If it is present the agent
+sends the client's top-level window an ICE_PROTOCOLS client
+message event as described above. When the client receives the client
+message event and is willing to originate an ICE connection using RAP,
+it performs an IceRegisterForProtocolSetup() with a list of the
+versions of RAP the client can speak. The client then retrieves
+the agent's ICE network ID from the property and window specified by
+the agent in the client message event and calls IceOpenConnection().
+After this call succeeds the client calls IceProtocolSetup() specifying
+the RAP protocol. During this
+process, ICE calls the RAP protocol routines that handle the version
+negotiation.
+.LP
+Note that it is not necessary for purposes of this rendezvous that
+the client application call any ICElib functions prior to receipt
+of the client message event.
