-.\"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.\"
-Building and parsing the Hop-by-Hop and Destination options is
-complicated due to alignment constraints, padding and
-ancillary data manipulation.
-RFC 2292 defines a set of functions to help the application.
-The function prototypes for
-these functions are all in the
-.Aq Pa netinet/in.h
-header.
-.\"
-.Ss inet6_option_space
-.Fn inet6_option_space
-returns the number of bytes required to hold an option when it is stored as
-ancillary data, including the
-.Li cmsghdr
-structure at the beginning,
-and any padding at the end
-.Po
-to make its size a multiple of 8 bytes
-.Pc .
-The argument is the size of the structure defining the option,
-which must include any pad bytes at the beginning
-.Po
-the value
-.Li y
-in the alignment term
-.Dq Li xn + y
-.Pc ,
-the type byte, the length byte, and the option data.
-.Pp
-Note: If multiple options are stored in a single ancillary data
-object, which is the recommended technique, this function
-overestimates the amount of space required by the size of
-.Li N-1
-.Li cmsghdr
-structures,
-where
-.Li N
-is the number of options to be stored in the object.
-This is of little consequence, since it is assumed that most
-Hop-by-Hop option headers and Destination option headers carry only
-one option
-.Pq appendix B of [RFC 2460] .
-.\"
-.Ss inet6_option_init
-.Fn inet6_option_init
-is called once per ancillary data object that will
-contain either Hop-by-Hop or Destination options.
-It returns
-.Li 0
-on success or
-.Li -1
-on an error.
-.Pp
-.Fa bp
-is a pointer to previously allocated space that will contain the
-ancillary data object.
-It must be large enough to contain all the
-individual options to be added by later calls to
-.Fn inet6_option_append
-and
-.Fn inet6_option_alloc .
-.Pp
-.Fa cmsgp
-is a pointer to a pointer to a
-.Li cmsghdr
-structure.
-.Fa *cmsgp
-is initialized by this function to point to the
-.Li cmsghdr
-structure constructed by this function in the buffer pointed to by
-.Fa bp .
-.Pp
-.Fa type
-is either
-.Dv IPV6_HOPOPTS
-or
-.Dv IPV6_DSTOPTS .
-This
-.Fa type
-is stored in the
-.Li cmsg_type
-member of the
-.Li cmsghdr
-structure pointed to by
-.Fa *cmsgp .
-.\"
-.Ss inet6_option_append
-This function appends a Hop-by-Hop option or a Destination option
-into an ancillary data object that has been initialized by
-.Fn inet6_option_init .
-This function returns
-.Li 0
-if it succeeds or
-.Li -1
-on an error.
-.Pp
-.Fa cmsg
-is a pointer to the
-.Li cmsghdr
-structure that must have been
-initialized by
-.Fn inet6_option_init .
-.Pp
-.Fa typep
-is a pointer to the 8-bit option type.
-It is assumed that this
-field is immediately followed by the 8-bit option data length field,
-which is then followed immediately by the option data.
-The caller
-initializes these three fields
-.Pq the type-length-value, or TLV
-before calling this function.
-.Pp
-The option type must have a value from
-.Li 2
-to
-.Li 255 ,
-inclusive.
-.Po
-.Li 0
-and
-.Li 1
-are reserved for the
-.Li Pad1
-and
-.Li PadN
-options, respectively.
-.Pc
-.Pp
-The option data length must have a value between
-.Li 0
-and
-.Li 255 ,
-inclusive, and is the length of the option data that follows.
-.Pp
-.Fa multx
-is the value
-.Li x
-in the alignment term
-.Dq Li xn + y .
-It must have a value of
-.Li 1 ,
-.Li 2 ,
-.Li 4 ,
-or
-.Li 8 .
-.Pp
-.Fa plusy
-is the value
-.Li y
-in the alignment term
-.Dq Li xn + y .
-It must have a value between
-.Li 0
-and
-.Li 7 ,
-inclusive.
-.\"
-.Ss inet6_option_alloc
-This function appends a Hop-by-Hop option or a Destination option
-into an ancillary data object that has been initialized by
-.Fn inet6_option_init .
-This function returns a pointer to the 8-bit
-option type field that starts the option on success, or
-.Dv NULL
-on an error.
-.Pp
-The difference between this function and
-.Fn inet6_option_append
-is that the latter copies the contents of a previously built option into
-the ancillary data object while the current function returns a
-pointer to the space in the data object where the option's TLV must
-then be built by the caller.
-.Pp
-.Fa cmsg
-is a pointer to the
-.Li cmsghdr
-structure that must have been
-initialized by
-.Fn inet6_option_init .
-.Pp
-.Fa datalen
-is the value of the option data length byte for this option.
-This value is required as an argument to allow the function to
-determine if padding must be appended at the end of the option.
-(The
-.Fn inet6_option_append
-function does not need a data length argument
-since the option data length must already be stored by the caller.)
-.Pp
-.Fa multx
-is the value
-.Li x
-in the alignment term
-.Dq Li xn + y .
-It must have a value of
-.Li 1 ,
-.Li 2 ,
-.Li 4 ,
-or
-.Li 8 .
-.Pp
-.Fa plusy
-is the value
-.Li y
-in the alignment term
-.Dq Li xn + y .
-It must have a value between
-.Li 0
-and
-.Li 7 ,
-inclusive.
-.\"
-.Ss inet6_option_next
-This function processes the next Hop-by-Hop option or Destination
-option in an ancillary data object.
-If another option remains to be
-processed, the return value of the function is
-.Li 0
-and
-.Fa *tptrp
-points to
-the 8-bit option type field
-(which is followed by the 8-bit option
-data length, followed by the option data).
-If no more options remain
-to be processed, the return value is
-.Li -1
-and
-.Fa *tptrp
-is
-.Dv NULL .
-If an error occurs, the return value is
-.Li -1
-and
-.Fa *tptrp
-is not
-.Dv NULL .
-.Pp
-.Fa cmsg
-is a pointer to
-.Li cmsghdr
-structure of which
-.Li cmsg_level
-equals
-.Dv IPPROTO_IPV6
-and
-.Li cmsg_type
-equals either
-.Dv IPV6_HOPOPTS
-or
-.Dv IPV6_DSTOPTS .
-.Pp
-.Fa tptrp
-is a pointer to a pointer to an 8-bit byte and
-.Fa *tptrp
-is used
-by the function to remember its place in the ancillary data object
-each time the function is called.
-The first time this function is
-called for a given ancillary data object,
-.Fa *tptrp
-must be set to
-.Dv NULL .
-.Pp
-Each time this function returns success,
-.Fa *tptrp
-points to the 8-bit
-option type field for the next option to be processed.
-.\"
-.Ss inet6_option_find
-This function is similar to the previously described
-.Fn inet6_option_next
-function, except this function lets the caller
-specify the option type to be searched for, instead of always
-returning the next option in the ancillary data object.
-.Fa cmsg
-is a
-pointer to
-.Li cmsghdr
-structure of which
-.Li cmsg_level
-equals
-.Dv IPPROTO_IPV6
-and
-.Li cmsg_type
-equals either
-.Dv IPV6_HOPOPTS
-or
-.Dv IPV6_DSTOPTS .
-.Pp
-.Fa tptrp
-is a pointer to a pointer to an 8-bit byte and
-.Fa *tptrp
-is used
-by the function to remember its place in the ancillary data object
-each time the function is called.
-The first time this function is
-called for a given ancillary data object,
-.Fa *tptrp
-must be set to
-.Dv NULL .
-.Pp
-This function starts searching for an option of the specified type
-beginning after the value of
-.Fa *tptrp .
-If an option of the specified
-type is located, this function returns
-.Li 0
-and
-.Fa *tptrp
-points to the 8-
-bit option type field for the option of the specified type.
-If an
-option of the specified type is not located, the return value is
-.Li -1
-and
-.Fa *tptrp
-is
-.Dv NULL .
-If an error occurs, the return value is
-.Li -1
-and
-.Fa *tptrp
-is not
-.Dv NULL .
