.Sh NAME
.Nm ng_socket
.Nd netgraph socket node type
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <netgraph/ng_message.h>
.Fd #include <netgraph/ng_socket.h>
.Sh DESCRIPTION
A
.Nm socket
node is both a BSD socket and a netgraph node. The
.Nm socket
node type allows user-mode processes to participate in the kernel
.Xr netgraph 4
networking subsystem using the BSD socket interface.
.Pp
A new
.Nm socket
node is created by creating a new socket of type
.Dv NG_CONTROL
in the protocol family
.Dv PF_NETGRAPH ,
using the
.Xr socket 2
system call.
Any control messages received by the node are received using
.Xr recvfrom 2 ;
the socket address argument is a
.Dv "struct sockaddr_ng"
containing the sender's netgraph address. Conversely, control messages
can be sent to any node by calling
.Xr sendto 2 ,
supplying the recipient's address in a
.Dv "struct sockaddr_ng" .
The
.Xr bind 2
system call may be used to assign a global netgraph name to the node.
.Pp
To transmit and receive netgraph data packets, a
.Dv NG_DATA
socket must also be created using
.Xr socket 2
and associated with a
.Nm socket
node.
.Dv NG_DATA sockets do not automatically
have nodes associated with them; they are bound to a specific node via the
.Xr connect 2
system call. The address argument is the netgraph address of the
.Nm socket
node already created. Once a data socket is associated with a node,
any data packets received by the node are read using
.Xr recvfrom 2
and any packets to be sent out from the node are written using
.Xr sendto 2 .
In the case of data sockets, the
.Dv "struct sockaddr_ng"
contains the name of the
.Em hook
on which the data was received or should be sent.
.Pp
There is a user library that simplifies using netgraph sockets; see
.Xr netgraph 3 .
.Sh HOOKS
This node type supports hooks with arbitrary names (as long as
they are unique) and always accepts hook connection requests.
.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
This node type supports only the generic control messages.
.Sh SHUTDOWN
This node type shuts down and disappears when both the associated
.Dv NG_CONTROL
and
.Dv NG_DATA
sockets have been closed, or a
.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
control message is received. In the latter case, attempts to write
to the still-open sockets will return
.Er ENOTCONN .
.Sh BUGS
It is not possible to reject the connection of a hook, though any
data received on that hook can certainly be ignored.
