		ip_addr_t	__ip;
		ip6_addr_t	__ip6;

		uint8_t		__data8[16];
		uint16_t	__data16[8];
		uint32_t	__data32[4];
	} __addr_u;
};
#define addr_eth	__addr_u.__eth
#define addr_ip		__addr_u.__ip
#define addr_ip6	__addr_u.__ip6
#define addr_data8	__addr_u.__data8
#define addr_data16	__addr_u.__data16
#define addr_data32	__addr_u.__data32

The following values are defined for addr_type:

#define ADDR_TYPE_NONE		0	/* No address set */
#define	ADDR_TYPE_ETH		1	/* Ethernet */
#define	ADDR_TYPE_IP		2	/* Internet Protocol v4 */
#define	ADDR_TYPE_IP6		3	/* Internet Protocol v6 */

The field addr_bits denotes the length of the network mask in bits.

addr_cmp() compares network addresses a and b, returning an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if a is found, respectively, to be less than, equal to, or greater than b. Both addresses must be of the same address type.

addr_bcast() computes the broadcast address for the network specified in a and writes it into b.

addr_net() computes the network address for the network specified in a and writes it into b.

addr_ntop() converts an address from network format to a string.

addr_pton() converts an address from a string to network format.

addr_ntoa() converts an address from network format to a string, returning a pointer to the result in static memory.

addr_aton() is a synonym for addr_pton().

addr_ntos() converts an address from network format to the appropriate struct sockaddr.

addr_ston() converts an address from a struct sockaddr to network format.

addr_btos() converts a network mask length to a network mask specified as a struct sockaddr.

ARP cache entries are described by the following structure:

struct arp_entry {
	struct addr	arp_pa;		/* protocol address */
	struct addr	arp_ha;		/* hardware address */
};

arp_open() is used to obtain a handle to access the kernel arp(4) cache.

arp_add() adds a new ARP entry.

arp_delete() deletes the ARP entry for the protocol address specified by arp_pa.

arp_get() retrieves the ARP entry for the protocol address specified by arp_pa.

arp_loop() iterates over the kernel arp(4) cache, invoking the specified callback with each entry and the context arg passed to arp_loop().

arp_close() closes the specified handle.

Binary buffers are described by the following structure:

typedef struct blob {
	u_char		*base;		/* start of data */
	int		 off;		/* offset into data */
	int		 end;		/* end of data */
	int		 size;		/* size of allocation */
} blob_t;

blob_new() is used to allocate a new dynamic binary buffer, returning NULL on failure.

blob_read() reads len bytes from the current offset in blob b into buf, returning the total number of bytes read, or -1 on failure.

blob_write() writes len bytes from buf to blob b, advancing the current offset. It returns the number of bytes written, or -1 on failure.

blob_seek() repositions the offset within blob b to off, according to the directive whence (see lseek(2) for details), returning the new absolute offset, or -1 on failure.

blob_index() returns the offset of the first occurrence in blob b of the specified buf of length len, or -1 on failure.

blob_rindex() returns the offset of the last occurrence in blob b of the specified buf of length len, or -1 on failure.

blob_pack() converts and writes, and blob_unpack() reads and converts data in blob b according to the given format fmt as described below, returning 0 on success, and -1 on failure.

The format string is composed of zero or more directives: ordinary characters (not % ), which are copied to / read from the blob, and conversion specifications, each of which results in reading / writing zero or more subsequent arguments.

Each conversion specification is introduced by the character %, and may be prefixed by length specifier. The arguments must correspond properly (after type promotion) with the length and conversion specifiers.

The length specifier is either a a decimal digit string specifying the length of the following argument, or the literal character * indicating that the length should be read from an integer argument for the argument following it.

The conversion specifiers and their meanings are:

D

An unsigned 32-bit integer in network byte order.

H

An unsigned 16-bit integer in network byte order.

b

A binary buffer (length specifier required).

c

An unsigned character.

d

An unsigned 32-bit integer in host byte order.

h

An unsigned 16-bit integer in host byte order.

s

A C-style null-terminated string, whose maximum length must be specified when unpacking.

Custom conversion routines and their specifiers may be registered via blob_register_pack(), currently undocumented.

blob_print() prints len bytes of the contents of blob b from the current offset in the specified style; currently only “hexl” is available.

blob_free() deallocates the memory associated with blob b and returns NULL.

eth_open() is used to obtain a handle to transmit raw Ethernet frames via the specified network device.

eth_get() retrieves the hardware MAC address for the interface specified by e.

eth_set() configures the hardware MAC address for the interface specified by e.

	uint8_t		fw_proto;		  /* IP protocol */
	struct addr	fw_src;			  /* src address / net */
	struct addr	fw_dst;			  /* dst address / net */
	uint16_t	fw_sport[2];		  /* range / ICMP type */

};

The following values are defined for fw_op:

#define FW_OP_ALLOW	1
#define FW_OP_BLOCK	2

The following values are defined for fw_dir:

#define FW_DIR_IN	1
#define FW_DIR_OUT	2

fw_open() is used to obtain a handle to access the local network firewall configuration.

fw_add() adds the specified firewall rule.

fw_delete() deletes the specified firewall rule.

fw_loop() iterates over the active firewall ruleset, invoking the specified callback with each rule and the context arg passed to fw_loop().

fw_close() closes the specified handle.

Network interface information is described by the following structure:

#define INTF_NAME_LEN	16

struct intf_entry {
	u_int		intf_len;		    /* length of entry */

#define INTF_TYPE_OTHER		1	/* other */
#define INTF_TYPE_ETH		6	/* Ethernet */
#define INTF_TYPE_LOOPBACK	24	/* software loopback */
#define INTF_TYPE_TUN		53	/* proprietary virtual/internal */

The following bitmask values are defined for intf_flags:

#define INTF_FLAG_UP		0x01	/* enable interface */
#define INTF_FLAG_LOOPBACK	0x02	/* is a loopback net (r/o) */
#define INTF_FLAG_POINTOPOINT	0x04	/* point-to-point link (r/o) */

intf_open() is used to obtain a handle to access the network interface configuration.

intf_get() retrieves an interface configuration entry, keyed on intf_name. For all intf_get() functions, intf_len should be set to the size of the buffer pointed to by entry (usually sizeof(struct intf_entry), but should be larger to accommodate any interface alias addresses.

intf_get_src() retrieves the configuration for the interface whose primary address matches the specified src.

intf_get_dst() retrieves the configuration for the best interface with which to reach the specified dst.

rand_set() re-initializes the PRNG to start from a known seed value, useful in generating repeatable sequences.

rand_get() writes len random bytes into buf.

rand_add() adds len bytes of entropy data from buf into the random mix.

rand_uint8(), rand_uint16(), and rand_uint32() return 8, 16, and 32-bit unsigned random values, respectively.

	struct addr	route_dst;	/* destination address */
	struct addr	route_gw;	/* gateway address */
};

tun_open() is used to obtain a handle to a network tunnel interface, to which IP packets destined for dst are delivered (with source addresses rewritten to src ), where they may be read by a userland process and processed as desired. IP packets written back to the handle are injected into the kernel networking subsystem.

tun_fileno() returns a file descriptor associated with the tunnel handle, suitable for select(2).
