1744.3 The _cmsg Structure
175
176(declared in <linux/isdn/capiutil.h>)
177
178The _cmsg structure stores the contents of a CAPI 2.0 message in an easily
179accessible form. It contains members for all possible CAPI 2.0 parameters, of
180which only those appearing in the message type currently being processed are
181actually used. Unused members should be set to zero.
182
183Members are named after the CAPI 2.0 standard names of the parameters they
184represent. See <linux/isdn/capiutil.h> for the exact spelling. Member data
185types are:
186
187u8 for CAPI parameters of type 'byte'
188
189u16 for CAPI parameters of type 'word'
190
191u32 for CAPI parameters of type 'dword'
192
193_cstruct for CAPI parameters of type 'struct' not containing any
194 variably-sized (struct) subparameters (eg. 'Called Party Number')
195 The member is a pointer to a buffer containing the parameter in
196 CAPI encoding (length + content). It may also be NULL, which will
197 be taken to represent an empty (zero length) parameter.
198
199_cmstruct for CAPI parameters of type 'struct' containing 'struct'
200 subparameters ('Additional Info' and 'B Protocol')
201 The representation is a single byte containing one of the values:
202 CAPI_DEFAULT: the parameter is empty
203 CAPI_COMPOSE: the values of the subparameters are stored
204 individually in the corresponding _cmsg structure members
205
206Functions capi_cmsg2message() and capi_message2cmsg() are provided to convert
207messages between their transport encoding described in the CAPI 2.0 standard
208and their _cmsg structure representation. Note that capi_cmsg2message() does
209not know or check the size of its destination buffer. The caller must make
210sure it is big enough to accomodate the resulting CAPI message.

273(from <linux/isdn/capiutil.h>):
274
275unsigned capi_cmsg2message(_cmsg *cmsg, u8 *msg)
276 Assembles a CAPI 2.0 message from the parameters in *cmsg, storing the
277 result in *msg.
278
279unsigned capi_message2cmsg(_cmsg *cmsg, u8 *msg)
280 Disassembles the CAPI 2.0 message in *msg, storing the parameters in
281 *cmsg.
282
283unsigned capi_cmsg_header(_cmsg *cmsg, u16 ApplId, u8 Command, u8 Subcommand,
284 u16 Messagenumber, u32 Controller)
285 Fills the header part and address field of the _cmsg structure *cmsg
286 with the given values, zeroing the remainder of the structure so only
287 parameters with non-default values need to be changed before sending
288 the message.
289
290void capi_cmsg_answer(_cmsg *cmsg)
291 Sets the low bit of the Subcommand field in *cmsg, thereby converting
292 _REQ to _CONF and _IND to _RESP.
293
294char *capi_cmd2str(u8 Command, u8 Subcommand)
295 Returns the CAPI 2.0 message name corresponding to the given command
296 and subcommand values, as a static ASCII string. The return value may
297 be NULL if the command/subcommand is not one of those defined in the
298 CAPI 2.0 standard.
