-.SH NAME
-ddp \- Linux AppleTalk protocol implementation
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <sys/socket.h>
-.B #include <netatalk/at.h>
-.P
-.IB ddp_socket " = socket(AF_APPLETALK, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);"
-.IB raw_socket " = socket(AF_APPLETALK, SOCK_RAW, " protocol ");"
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Linux implements the AppleTalk protocols described in
-.IR "Inside AppleTalk" .
-Only the DDP layer and AARP are present in
-the kernel.
-They are designed to be used via the
-.B netatalk
-protocol
-libraries.
-This page documents the interface for those who wish or need to
-use the DDP layer directly.
-.P
-The communication between AppleTalk and the user program works using a
-BSD-compatible socket interface.
-For more information on sockets, see
-.BR socket (7).
-.P
-An AppleTalk socket is created by calling the
-.BR socket (2)
-function with a
-.B AF_APPLETALK
-socket family argument.
-Valid socket types are
-.B SOCK_DGRAM
-to open a
-.B ddp
-socket or
-.B SOCK_RAW
-to open a
-.B raw
-socket.
-.I protocol
-is the AppleTalk protocol to be received or sent.
-For
-.B SOCK_RAW
-you must specify
-.BR ATPROTO_DDP .
-.P
-Raw sockets may be opened only by a process with effective user ID 0
-or when the process has the
-.B CAP_NET_RAW
-capability.
-.SS Address format
-An AppleTalk socket address is defined as a combination of a network number,
-a node number, and a port number.
-.P
-.in +4n
-.EX
-struct at_addr {
- unsigned short s_net;
- unsigned char s_node;
-};
-\&
-struct sockaddr_atalk {
- sa_family_t sat_family; /* address family */
- unsigned char sat_port; /* port */
- struct at_addr sat_addr; /* net/node */
-};
-.EE
-.in
-.P
-.I sat_family
-is always set to
-.BR AF_APPLETALK .
-.I sat_port
-contains the port.
-The port numbers below 129 are known as
-.IR "reserved ports" .
-Only processes with the effective user ID 0 or the
-.B CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
-capability may
-.BR bind (2)
-to these sockets.
-.I sat_addr
-is the host address.
-The
-.I net
-member of
-.I struct at_addr
-contains the host network in network byte order.
-The value of
-.B AT_ANYNET
-is a
-wildcard and also implies \[lq]this network.\[rq]
-The
-.I node
-member of
-.I struct at_addr
-contains the host node number.
-The value of
-.B AT_ANYNODE
-is a
-wildcard and also implies \[lq]this node.\[rq] The value of
-.B ATADDR_BCAST
-is a link
-local broadcast address.
-.\" FIXME . this doesn't make sense [johnl]
-.SS Socket options
-No protocol-specific socket options are supported.
-.SS /proc interfaces
-IP supports a set of
-.I /proc
-interfaces to configure some global AppleTalk parameters.
-The parameters can be accessed by reading or writing files in the directory
-.IR /proc/sys/net/atalk/ .
-.TP
-.I aarp\-expiry\-time
-The time interval (in seconds) before an AARP cache entry expires.
-.TP
-.I aarp\-resolve\-time
-The time interval (in seconds) before an AARP cache entry is resolved.
-.TP
-.I aarp\-retransmit\-limit
-The number of retransmissions of an AARP query before the node is declared
-dead.
-.TP
-.I aarp\-tick\-time
-The timer rate (in seconds) for the timer driving AARP.
-.P
-The default values match the specification and should never need to be
-changed.
-.SS Ioctls
-All ioctls described in
-.BR socket (7)
-apply to DDP.
-.\" FIXME . Add a section about multicasting
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B EACCES
-The user tried to execute an operation without the necessary permissions.
-These include sending to a broadcast address without
-having the broadcast flag set,
-and trying to bind to a reserved port without effective user ID 0 or
-.BR CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE .
-.TP
-.B EADDRINUSE
-Tried to bind to an address already in use.
-.TP
-.B EADDRNOTAVAIL
-A nonexistent interface was requested or the requested source address was
-not local.
-.TP
-.B EAGAIN
-Operation on a nonblocking socket would block.
-.TP
-.B EALREADY
-A connection operation on a nonblocking socket is already in progress.
-.TP
-.B ECONNABORTED
-A connection was closed during an
-.BR accept (2).
-.TP
-.B EHOSTUNREACH
-No routing table entry matches the destination address.
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-Invalid argument passed.
-.TP
-.B EISCONN
-.BR connect (2)
-was called on an already connected socket.
-.TP
-.B EMSGSIZE
-Datagram is bigger than the DDP MTU.
-.TP
-.B ENODEV
-Network device not available or not capable of sending IP.
-.TP
-.B ENOENT
-.B SIOCGSTAMP
-was called on a socket where no packet arrived.
-.TP
-.BR ENOMEM " and " ENOBUFS
-Not enough memory available.
-.TP
-.B ENOPKG
-A kernel subsystem was not configured.
-.TP
-.BR ENOPROTOOPT " and " EOPNOTSUPP
-Invalid socket option passed.
-.TP
-.B ENOTCONN
-The operation is defined only on a connected socket, but the socket wasn't
-connected.
-.TP
-.B EPERM
-User doesn't have permission to set high priority,
-make a configuration change,
-or send signals to the requested process or group.
-.TP
-.B EPIPE
-The connection was unexpectedly closed or shut down by the other end.
-.TP
-.B ESOCKTNOSUPPORT
-The socket was unconfigured, or an unknown socket type was requested.
-.SH VERSIONS
-AppleTalk is supported by Linux 2.0 or higher.
-The
-.I /proc
-interfaces exist since Linux 2.2.
-.SH NOTES
-Be very careful with the
-.B SO_BROADCAST
-option; it is not privileged in Linux.
-It is easy to overload the network
-with careless sending to broadcast addresses.
-.SS Compatibility
-The basic AppleTalk socket interface is compatible with
-.B netatalk
-on BSD-derived systems.
-Many BSD systems fail to check
-.B SO_BROADCAST
-when sending broadcast frames; this can lead to compatibility problems.
-.P
-The
-raw
-socket mode is unique to Linux and exists to support the alternative CAP
-package and AppleTalk monitoring tools more easily.
-.SH BUGS
-There are too many inconsistent error values.
-.P
-The ioctls used to configure routing tables, devices,
-AARP tables, and other devices are not yet described.
