- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para>
- To flexibly augment transport structures, data blobs of type
- <type>struct kdbus_item</type> can be attached to the structs passed
- into the ioctls. Some ioctls make items of certain types mandatory,
- others are optional. Items that are unsupported by ioctls they are
- attached to will cause the ioctl to fail with <varname>errno</varname>
- set to <constant>EINVAL</constant>.
- Items are also used for information stored in a connection's
- <emphasis>pool</emphasis>, such as received messages, name lists or
- requested connection or bus owner information. Depending on the type of
- an item, its total size is either fixed or variable.
- </para>
-
- <refsect2>
- <title>Chaining items</title>
- <para>
- Whenever items are used as part of the kdbus kernel API, they are
- embedded in structs that are embedded inside structs that themselves
- include a size field containing the overall size of the structure.
- This allows multiple items to be chained up, and an item iterator
- (see below) is capable of detecting the end of an item chain.
- </para>
- </refsect2>
-
- <refsect2>
- <title>Alignment</title>
- <para>
- The kernel expects all items to be aligned to 8-byte boundaries.
- Unaligned items will cause the ioctl they are used with to fail
- with <varname>errno</varname> set to <constant>EINVAL</constant>.
- An item that has an unaligned size itself hence needs to be padded
- if it is followed by another item.
- </para>
- </refsect2>
-
- <refsect2>
- <title>Iterating items</title>
- <para>
- A simple iterator would iterate over the items until the items have
- reached the embedding structure's overall size. An example
- implementation is shown below.
- </para>
-
- <programlisting><![CDATA[

- <title>Item layout</title>
- <para>
- A <type>struct kdbus_item</type> consists of a
- <varname>size</varname> field, describing its overall size, and a
- <varname>type</varname> field, both 64 bit wide. They are followed by
- a union to store information that is specific to the item's type.
- The struct layout is shown below.

-
- <para>
- <type>struct kdbus_item</type> should never be used to allocate
- an item instance, as its size may grow in future releases of the API.

- struct of its own.
