| |
Hello, I'm a new entry in this kernel mailing list. I'm working on udp functions (those in ipv4/udp.c) and I'm focusing on "udp_sendmsg(..)" and "udp_recvmsg". I'm trying to understand what is the duty, what these next functions(used by udp_sendmsg and/or udp_recvmsg) really do:
ip_cmsg_send ip_options_get ip_options_compile ip_route_output ip_route_output_slow ip_build_xmit
I presume that they are IP functions (quite silly!) but I don't know what they do, what functions they use and if they are necessary for my purposes.
I must get an udp packet from an input using directly udp_.. functions. My problem now is to try to understand how the engine works.
I'm quite new to linux kernel programming.
Many thanx to every one helps me.
