+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.\"
+Building and parsing the Hop-by-Hop and Destination options is
+complicated due to alignment constranints, padding and

+The function prototypes for
+these functions are all in the

+header.

+.Fn inet6_option_space

+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

+in the alignment term

+.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

+and
+.Fn inet6_option_alloc .

+This function appends a Hop-by-Hop option or a Destination option

+This function returns
+.Li 0
+if it succeeds or
+.Li -1

+It is assumed that this

+which is then followed immediately by the option data.
+The caller
+initializes these three fields

+.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

+function does not need a data length argument
+since the option data length must already be stored by the caller.

+.Pp
+Each time this function returns success,

+.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.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+RFC2292 IPv6 advanced API defines eight

+.It Fn inet6_rthdr_init

+.It Fn inet6_rthdr_add

+.Pp
+Four functions deal with a returned Routing header:
+.Bl -hang
+.It Fn inet6_rthdr_reverse

+.It Fn inet6_rthdr_segments
+return #segments in a Routing header
+.It Fn inet6_rthdr_getaddr
+fetch one address from a Routing header
+.It Fn inet6_rthdr_getflags
+fetch one flag from a Routing header
+.El
+.Pp
+The function prototypes for these functions are all in the
+.Aq Li netinet/in.h
+header.
+.\"
+.Ss inet6_rthdr_space
+This function returns the number of bytes required to hold a Routing
+header of the specified
+.Fa type
+containing the specified number of
+.Fa segments
+.Pq addresses .
+For an IPv6 Type 0 Routing header, the number
+of segments must be between 1 and 23, inclusive. The return value
+includes the size of the cmsghdr structure that precedes the Routing
+header, and any required padding.
+.Pp
+If the return value is 0, then either the type of the Routing header
+is not supported by this implementation or the number of segments is
+invalid for this type of Routing header.
+.Pp
+Note: This function returns the size but does not allocate the space
+required for the ancillary data.
+This allows an application to
+allocate a larger buffer, if other ancillary data objects are
+desired, since all the ancillary data objects must be specified to
+.Xr sendmsg 2
+as a single
+.Li msg_control
+buffer.
+.\"
+.Ss inet6_rthdr_init
+This function initializes the buffer pointed to by
+.Fa bp
+to contain a
+.Li cmsghdr
+structure followed by a Routing header of the specified
+.Fa type .
+The
+.Li cmsg_len
+member of the
+.Li cmsghdr
+structure is initialized to the
+size of the structure plus the amount of space required by the
+Routing header.
+The
+.Li cmsg_level
+and
+.Li cmsg_type
+members are also initialized as required.
+.Pp
+The caller must allocate the buffer and its size can be determined by
+calling
+.Fn inet6_rthdr_space .
+.Pp
+Upon success the return value is the pointer to the
+.Li cmsghdr
+structure, and this is then used as the first argument to the next
+two functions.
+Upon an error the return value is
+.Dv NULL .
+.\"
+.Ss inet6_rthdr_add
+This function adds the address pointed to by
+.Fa addr
+to the end of the
+Routing header being constructed and sets the type of this hop to the
+value of
+.Fa flags .
+For an IPv6 Type 0 Routing header,
+.Fa flags
+must be
+either
+.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_LOOSE
+or
+.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_STRICT .
+.Pp
+If successful, the
+.Li cmsg_len
+member of the
+.Li cmsghdr
+structure is
+updated to account for the new address in the Routing header and the
+return value of the function is 0.
+Upon an error the return value of
+the function is -1.
+.\"
+.Ss inet6_rthdr_lasthop
+This function specifies the Strict/Loose flag for the final hop of a
+Routing header.
+For an IPv6 Type 0 Routing header,
+.Fa flags
+must be either
+.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_LOOSE
+or
+.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_STRICT .
+.Pp
+The return value of the function is 0 upon success, or -1 upon an error.
+.Pp
+Notice that a Routing header specifying
+.Li N
+intermediate nodes requires
+.Li N+1
+Strict/Loose flags.
+This requires
+.Li N
+calls to
+.Fn inet6_rthdr_add
+followed by one call to
+.Fn inet6_rthdr_lasthop .
+.\"
+.Ss inet6_rthdr_reverse
+This function is not yet implemented.
+When implemented, this should behave as follows.
+.Pp
+This function takes a Routing header that was received as ancillary
+data
+.Po
+pointed to by the first argument,
+.Fa in
+.Pc
+and writes a new Routing
+header that sends datagrams along the reverse of that route.
+Both
+arguments are allowed to point to the same buffer
+.Pq that is, the reversal can occur in place .
+.Pp
+The return value of the function is 0 on success, or -1 upon an
+error.
+.\"
+.Ss inet6_rthdr_segments
+This function returns the number of segments
+.Pq addresses
+contained in
+the Routing header described by
+.Fa cmsg .
+On success the return value is
+between 1 and 23, inclusive.
+The return value of the function is -1 upon an error.
+.\"
+.Ss inet6_rthdr_getaddr
+This function returns a pointer to the IPv6 address specified by
+.Fa index
+.Po
+which must have a value between 1 and the value returned by
+.Fn inet6_rthdr_segments
+.Pc
+in the Routing header described by
+.Fa cmsg .
+An
+application should first call
+.Fn inet6_rthdr_segments
+to obtain the number of segments in the Routing header.
+.Pp
+Upon an error the return value of the function is
+.Dv NULL .
+.\"
+.Ss inet6_rthdr_getflags
+This function returns the flags value specified by
+.Fa index
+.Po
+which must
+have a value between 0 and the value returned by
+.Fn inet6_rthdr_segments
+.Pc
+in the Routing header described by
+.Fa cmsg .
+For an IPv6 Type 0 Routing header the return value will be either
+.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_LOOSE
+or
+.Dv IPV6_RTHDR_STRICT .
+.Pp
+Upon an error the return value of the function is -1.
