</p>
<h1> The <tt>accessrules</tt> library interface </h1>
<p>
The following functions and structures are declared in the <tt>s6/accessrules.h</tt> header,
and implemented in the <tt>libs6.a</tt> or <tt>libs6.so</tt> library.
</p>
<h2> General information </h2>
<p>
<tt>accessrules</tt> is an access control library. It looks up
a key in a user-specified database, then returns a code depending on
whether the database allows access (in which case additional information
can also be returned), denies access, or does not contain the key.
</p>
<p>
<tt>accessrules</tt> has been designed to be easily extensible to any
database format and any key format.
</p>
<p>
Check the <tt>s6/accessrules.h</tt> header for the exact definitions.
</p>
<h2> Data structures </h2>
<ul>
<li> A <tt>s6_accessrules_result_t</tt> is a scalar that
can have the following values: S6_ACCESSRULES_ERROR,
S6_ACCESSRULES_DENY, S6_ACCESSRULES_ALLOW or S6_ACCESSRULES_NOTFOUND. </li>
<li> A <tt>s6_accessrules_params_t</tt> is a structure containing two
<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/libstddjb/stralloc.html">strallocs</a>,
<em>.env</em> and <em>.exec</em>, used to return data contained in the
database when a key has been allowed. The interpretation of this data is
application-defined. </li>
</ul>
<h2> Function types </h2>
<h3> Backend lookups </h3>
<p>
A <tt>s6_accessrules_backend_func_t</tt> is the type of a function
that takes a single key, looks it up in a database, and returns the result.
Namely:
</p>
<p>
<code>s6_accessrules_result_t f (char const *key, unsigned int keylen, void *handle, s6_accessrules_params_t *params) </code>
</p>
<p>
<em>f</em> looks up key <em>key</em> of length <em>keylen</em> in the database
represented by <em>handle</em> in an implementation-defined way. It returns a
number that says the key has been allowed, denied or not found, or an error
occurred. If the key has been allowed, <em>f</em> stores additional information
from the database into *<em>params</em>.
</p>
<p>
Two s6_accessrules_backend_func_t functions are natively implemented:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <tt>s6_accessrules_backend_fs</tt> takes a <tt>char const *</tt>
<em>handle</em> and interprets it as a base directory to look up <em>key</em>
under, in the format understood by
<a href="../s6-accessrules-cdb-from-fs.html">s6-accessrules-cdb-from-fs</a>. </li>
<li> <tt>s6_accessrules_backend_cdb</tt> takes a <tt>struct cdb *</tt>
<em>handle</em> and looks up <em>key</em> in the
<a href="http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html">CDB</a> it points to. <em>handle</em> must
already be mapped to a CDB file. Such a file can be built with the
<a href="../s6-accessrules-cdb-from-fs.html">s6-accessrules-cdb-from-fs</a>
utility. </li>
</ul>
<h3> Frontend key checking </h3>
<p>
A <tt>s6_accessrules_keycheck_func_t</tt> is the type of a function that
takes a user-level key, makes a list of corresponding backend-level keys and
calls a <tt>s6_accessrules_backend_func_t</tt> function until it finds
a match. Namely:
</p>
<p>
<code>s6_accessrules_result_t f (void const *key, void *handle, s6_accessrules_params_t *params, s6_accessrules_backend_func_t *backend) </code>
</p>
<p>
<em>f</em> derives a list of low-level keys to check from <em>key</em>.
Then, for each key <em>k</em> of length <em>klen</em> in this list, it calls
<tt>(*backend)(k, klen, handle, params)</tt>, returning *<em>backend</em>'s result if it
is not S6_ACCESSRULES_NOTFOUND. If no match can be found in the whole list,
<em>f</em> finally returns S6_ACCESSRULES_NOTFOUND.
</p>
<p>
Five s6_accessrules_keycheck_func_t functions are natively implemented:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a name="uidgid" />
<tt>s6_accessrules_keycheck_uidgid</tt> interprets <em>key</em> as a
<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/libstddjb/">diuint</a>, i.e. a
structure containing two unsigned ints. The first one is interpreted as an
uid <em>u</em>, the second one as a gid <em>g</em>. The function first looks
for a <tt>uid/<em>u</em></tt> match; if it cannot find one, it looks for a
<tt>gid/<em>g</em></tt> match. If it cannot find one either, it checks
<tt>uid/default</tt> and returns the result. </li>
<li>
<a name="reversedns" />
<tt>s6_accessrules_keycheck_reversedns</tt> interprets <em>key</em>
as a string containing a FQDN. Then for each suffix <em>k</em> of <em>key</em>,
starting with <em>key</em> itself and ending with <em>key</em>'s TLD,
it looks up <tt>reversedns/<em>k</em></tt>. The final dot is excluded from
<em>k</em>. If no match can be found, the function checks <tt>reversedns/@</tt>
and returns the result. For instance, if <em>key</em> is "foo.bar.com",
the following strings are looked up, in that order:
<ul>
<li> reversedns/foo.bar.com </li>
<li> reversedns/bar.com </li>
<li> reversedns/com </li>
<li> reversedns/@ </li>
</ul> </li>
<li>
<a name="ip4" />
<tt>s6_accessrules_keycheck_ip4</tt> interprets <em>key</em> as
4 network-byte-order characters containing an IPv4 address. Then for each
netmask <em>mask</em> from 32 to 0, it constructs the IPv4 network
prefix <em>addr</em> corresponding to that address, and looks up
<tt>ip4/<em>addr</em>_<em>mask</em></tt>. For instance, if <em>key</em>
is "\300\250\001\007", representing the 192.168.1.7 address, the following
strings are looked up, in that order:
<ul>
<li> ip4/192.168.1.7_32 </li>
<li> ip4/192.168.1.6_31 </li>
<li> ip4/192.168.1.4_30 </li>
<li> ip4/192.168.1.0_29 </li>
<li> ip4/192.168.0.0_28 </li>
<li> ip4/192.168.0.0_27 </li>
</ul>
and so on, down to:
<ul>
<li> ip4/192.0.0.0_3 </li>
<li> ip4/192.0.0.0_2 </li>
<li> ip4/128.0.0.0_1 </li>
<li> ip4/0.0.0.0_0 </li>
</ul>
Note that the <tt>ip4/0.0.0.0_0</tt> string is a catch-all key that
matches everything. </li>
<li>
<a name="ip6" />
<tt>s6_accessrules_keycheck_ip6</tt> interprets <em>key</em> as
16 network-byte-order characters containing an IPv6 address. Then for each
netmask <em>mask</em> from 128 to 0, it constructs the IPv6 network
prefix <em>addr</em> corresponding to that address,
<strong>in canonical form</strong>,
and looks up
<tt>ip6/<em>addr</em>_<em>mask</em></tt>. For instance, if <em>key</em>
is "*\0\024P@\002\b\003\0\0\0\0\0\0\020\006", representing the
2a00:1450:4002:803::1006 address, the following
strings are looked up, in that order:
<ul>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1006_128 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1006_127 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1004_126 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_125 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_124 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_123 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_122 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_121 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_120 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_119 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_118 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_117 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_116 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_115 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_114 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::1000_113 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::_112 </li>
<li> ip6/2a00:1450:4002:803::_111 </li>
</ul>
and so on, down to:
<ul>
<li> ip6/2a00::_11 </li>
<li> ip6/2800::_10 </li>
<li> ip6/2800::_9 </li>
<li> ip6/2000::_8 </li>
<li> ip6/2000::_7 </li>
<li> ip6/2000::_6 </li>
<li> ip6/2000::_5 </li>
<li> ip6/2000::_4 </li>
<li> ip6/2000::_3 </li>
<li> ip6/::_2 </li>
<li> ip6/::_1 </li>
<li> ip6/::_0 </li>
</ul>
Note that the <tt>ip6/::_0</tt> string is a catch-all key that
matches everything. </li>
<li>
<a name="ip46" />
<tt>s6_accessrules_keycheck_ip46</tt> interprets <em>key</em> as a pointer to an
<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/libstddjb/ip46.html">ip46_t</a>, and
behaves either as s6_accessrules_keycheck_ip6 or s6_accessrules_keycheck_ip4,
depending on the type of address *<em>key</em> contains. </li>
</ul>

function with a backend function.
