[PATCH v6 01/15] lib: Add TLV parser

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a parser of a generic Type-Length-Value (TLV) format:

+--------------+--+---------+--------+---------+
| field1 (u16) | len1 (u32) | value1 (u8 len1) |
+--------------+------------+------------------+
|     ...      |    ...     |        ...       |
+--------------+------------+------------------+
| fieldN (u16) | lenN (u32) | valueN (u8 lenN) |
+--------------+------------+------------------+

Each adopter can define its own fields. The TLV parser does not need to be
aware of those, but lets the adopter obtain the data and decide how to
continue.

After processing a TLV entry, call the callback function also with the
callback data provided by the adopter. The latter can decide how to
interpret the TLV entry depending on the field ID.

Nesting TLVs is also possible, the callback function can call tlv_parse()
to parse the inner structure.
