<title>expat - XML parsing library</title>
<para>The XML parsing requirements of the jabberd system are handled by the ubiquitous Expat library. Since we need a parser that is namespace aware, v1.95 is the version in use.</para>
<para>Expat is widely used and understood, and it doesn't make sense to repeat a long description of the library here. More information can be found on the <ulink url='http://expat.sourceforge.net'>Expat homepage</ulink>.</para>

<section id='mio'>
<title>mio - Managed I/O</title>
<para>MIO is an event wrapper around UNIX file descriptors. The application can associate a callback function with each file descriptor it is interested in monitoring. When some kind of activity occurs on the file descriptor, the callback is fired. For network-driven applications such as jabberd, this is very useful, as it allows the main loop of the application to be reduced to a simple call into the MIO subsystem.</para>
<section id='mio-types'>
<title>Data types</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>MIO context - <command>mio_t</command></para>
<para><command>mio_t</command> is an opaque type that holds all the state information for the file descriptors being handled by the context. It is created by <command>mio_new()</command>, freed by <command>mio_free()</command>, and passed as the first argument to every other MIO function.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>MIO action (event) - <command>mio_action_t</command></para>
<para><command>mio_action_t</command> is an enumeration which is passed as the second argument to a callback, to inform the application of which event occurred. It can take one of four values:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><command>action_ACCEPT</command> - someone has connected to this (listening) file descriptor.</listitem>
<listitem><command>action_READ</command> - this file descriptor has data waiting to be read.</listitem>
<listitem><command>action_WRITE</command> - this file descriptor is able to be written to.</listitem>
<listitem><command>action_CLOSE</command> - this file descriptor has been closed.</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>MIO handler (callback) - <command>mio_handler_t</command></para>
<para><command>mio_handler_t</command> is a prototype for a callback. A callback function should be of the following type:</para>
<para><command>typedef int (*mio_handler_t)(mio_t m, mio_action_t a, int fd, void *data, void *arg)</command></para>
<para>When called, the arguments passed to the callback are as follows:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><command>mio_t m</command> - the MIO context that is managing the file descriptor.</listitem>
<listitem><command>mio_action_t a</command> - the action that occurred.</listitem>
<listitem><command>int fd</command> - the file descriptor that this action occurred on. Note that for <command>action_ACCEPT</command>, this argument will be hold the file descriptor of the new connection.</listitem>
<listitem><command>void *data</command> - action-specific data. This is currently only used for <command>action_ACCEPT</command> - when this action occurs, <command>data</command> should be casted to <command>char *</command>, where it will contain a string representation of the remote IP address.</listitem>
<listitem><command>void *arg</command> - this is the application-specific data that was registered at the same time the callback was registered with <link linkend='mio-callback'><command>mio_fd()</command></link> or <link linkend='mio-callback'><command>mio_app()</command></link>.</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The return type of the callback function is different depending on the action:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><command>action_ACCEPT</command> - if the callback returns 0, the newly-accepted file descriptor will be tracked in the MIO context. If it returns non-zero, the connection will be closed.</listitem>
<listitem><command>action_READ</command> - if the callback returns 0, no further read events will be fired to the callback until <link linkend='mio-check'><command>mio_read()</command></link> is called on this file descriptor. If it returns non-zero, events will continue to be processed.</listitem>
<listitem><command>action_WRITE</command> - if the callback returns 0, no further write events will be fired to the callback until <link linkend='mio-check'><command>mio_write()</command></link> is called on this file descriptor. If it returns non-zero, events will continue to be processed.</listitem>
<listitem><command>action_CLOSE</command> - the return value is ignored for this action.</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</listitem>

<section id='sx-callback'>
<title>Providing an <type>sx_callback_t</type> function</title>
<para>An XML stream communicates events and data to the rest of the program by invoking the callback function which was given as an argument to <function>sx_new()</function>. The first two arguments of the callback function are the <type>sx_t</type> which is invoking the callback, and an enumerated value (<type>sx_event_t</type>) which indicates the reason the callback was invoked. The interpretation of the third argument (a <type>void *</type>) and the return value (an integer) depends on the value of the event argument.</para>
<para>The event_WANT_READ and event_WANT_WRITE events indicate that the xml stream is expecting input from the underlying octet-stream or has data it wishes to write to that stream. The callback should invoke either <function>sx_can_read()</function> or <function>sx_can_write()</function> as appropriate. If the read or write can be performed immediately without blocking, it can be invoked directly from the callback; otherwise, the callback should schedule the function to be called when data (or buffer space) is available. The <parameter>data</parameter> argument and the return value are not used for these event types.</para>
<para>event_READ and event_WRITE are requests for the callback to perform IO on behalf of the xml stream. The <parameter>data</parameter> argument is a pointer to an <type>sx_buf_t</type>. For event_READ, the callback should read into the specified buffer, adjust the buffer's <structfield>len</structfield> to indicate the number of bytes read, and return a nonnegative number to indicate success. For event_WRITE, the callback should return the number of bytes written from the buffer. A negative return value indicates that an error (including end-of-file) has occurred and the stream must be shut down.</para>
