Introduce strtonum(), which works like string_to_number(), but passes back the 'end' pointer. It is useful where you want to do boundary checking yet work with strings that are not entirely slurped by strtoul(), e.g.: s = "1/2"; /* one half */ if (!strtonum(s, &end, &value, 0, 5)) error("Zero-length string, or value out of bounds"); if (*end != '/') error("Malformed string"); info->param1 = value; if (!strtonum(end + 1, &end, &value, 2, 4)) error(".."); if (*end != '\0') error("Malformed string"); info->param2 = value; Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/xtables.h | 5 +++++ xtables.c | 44 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 49 insertions(+) Index: iptables-modules/include/xtables.h =================================================================== --- iptables-modules.orig/include/xtables.h +++ iptables-modules/include/xtables.h @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ #include <linux/types.h> #include <linux/netfilter/x_tables.h> #include <libiptc/libxtc.h> +#include <stdbool.h> #ifndef XT_LIB_DIR #define XT_LIB_DIR "/usr/local/lib/iptables" @@ -206,6 +207,10 @@ extern int string_to_number(const char * unsigned int min, unsigned int max, unsigned int *ret); +extern bool strtonuml(const char *, char **, unsigned long *, + unsigned long, unsigned long); +extern bool strtonum(const char *, char **, unsigned int *, + unsigned int, unsigned int); extern int service_to_port(const char *name, const char *proto); extern u_int16_t parse_port(const char *port, const char *proto); extern void Index: iptables-modules/xtables.c =================================================================== --- iptables-modules.orig/xtables.c +++ iptables-modules/xtables.c @@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ #include <errno.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <netdb.h> +#include <stdbool.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> @@ -199,6 +200,49 @@ int string_to_number(const char *s, unsi return result; } +/* + * strtonum{,l} - string to number conversion + * + * If @end is NULL, we assume the caller does not want + * a case like "15a", so reject it. + */ +bool strtonuml(const char *s, char **end, unsigned long *value, + unsigned long min, unsigned long max) +{ + unsigned long v; + char *my_end; + + errno = 0; + v = strtoul(s, &my_end, 0); + + if (my_end == s) + return false; + if (end != NULL) + *end = my_end; + + if (errno != ERANGE && min <= v && (max == 0 || v <= max)) { + if (value != NULL) + *value = v; + if (end == NULL) + return *my_end == '\0'; + return true; + } + + return false; +} + +bool strtonum(const char *s, char **end, unsigned int *value, + unsigned int min, unsigned int max) +{ + unsigned long v; + bool ret; + + ret = strtonuml(s, end, &v, min, max); + if (value != NULL) + *value = v; + return ret; +} + int service_to_port(const char *name, const char *proto) { struct servent *service; - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
