55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56This module provides utility functions for the handling of signalling
57messages to the NgATM modules.
58.Pp
59The
60.Fn uni_msg_pack_mbuf
61function
62packs a message into one or several
63.Vt mbuf Ns s
64optionally prepending a header.
65The header is given by its address
66.Fa hdr
67and length
68.Fa len .
69If
70.Fa hdr
71is
72.Dv NULL
73or
74.Fa len
75equals 0, no header is prepended.
76Either
77.Fa msg
78or
79.Fa hdr
80may be
81.Dv NULL
82but not both.
83The
84.Fn uni_msg_pack_mbuf
85function
86returns a pointer to the allocated
87.Vt mbuf
88chain or
89.Dv NULL
90in the case of an error.
91.Pp
92The
93.Fn uni_msg_alloc
94function
95allocates a new message with space for at least
96.Fa len
97bytes.
98In the case of an error
99.Dv NULL
100is returned.
101.Pp
102The
103.Fn uni_msg_build
104function constructs a message from pieces.
105Each piece is given by a pair of
106arguments, the first of type
107.Vt "void *"
108and the second a
109.Vt size_t .
110The list of pieces must be terminated by
111.Po Vt "void *" Pc Ns Dv NULL .
112.Pp
113The
114.Fn uni_msg_destroy
115function
116destroys the messages and frees all the messages's memory.
117.Pp
118The
119.Fn uni_msg_unpack_mbuf
120function
121unpacks an
122.Vt mbuf
123chain info a
124.Vt uni_msg .
125A pointer to the newly allocated message is stored in
126.Fa msgp
127and 0 is returned.
128In the case of an error (either when no packet header is found
129in the first mbuf or memory cannot be allocated) the function
130returns an appropriate error code.
