lib, tools: Rename application process and instance

2017-12-02T13:56:20+00:00

This refactors ouroboros to use "program" instead of "application process" and "process" instead of "application process instance" to align with current naming in current Operating Systems courses instead of the ISO nomenclature adopted by RINA. This change permeates through the entire implementation. Also contains some minor other refactors. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Don't bind from the IPCP

2017-11-29T17:36:27+00:00

The binding of the normal IPCP to its name is moved from the source code to the irm tool introducing the "autobind" option for the bootstrap and enroll commands. With this option, the IPCP will be bound to the IPCP name and the DIF name automatically. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

dev: Split nonblocking read and write

2017-10-30T12:54:02+00:00

The FLOWFNONBLOCK flag now has two subflags FLOWFRNOBLOCK and FLOWFWNOBLOCK which allows setting the behavior of read and write independently. The default behavior is unchanged (blocking read and write). Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

doc: Fix documentation issues

2017-10-17T13:16:29+00:00

Removed a self-reference in ouroboros-tutorial. Fixes some style issues in ouroboros(8). Signed-off-by: dimitri staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

doc: Add general documentation

2017-10-17T03:48:20+00:00

This adds user documentation for the Ouroboros User Manual in man sections 7 and 8. It consists of a general man page, a tutorial and a glossary. It also fixes and updates other manpages in the Ouroboros Programmer's Manual.

lib: Deprecate ouroboros_init and ourboros_fini

2017-10-14T11:19:10+00:00

This commit deprecates ouroboros_init and ouroboros_fini and adds them as a constructor or destructor, causing these function to be run automatically when a program that links to the library calls and exits main(). For this to fully work, the library had to be split so that we can avoid the irmd calling these functions (the IRMd has to create the shm structures on which these calls depend). The library is split in 3 parts: libouroboros-dev, libouroboros-irm and libouroboros-common. The latter is linked to the other two so that including libouroboros-dev or libouroboros-irm will also link libouroboros-common.

doc: man: Update fccntl manpage

2017-09-19T15:00:58+00:00

The option to mark a flow as down was missing from the manpage of fccntl.

ipcpd, lib: Add flow down events

2017-09-19T14:52:54+00:00

This adds the flow down event to Ouroboros. In the shim-eth-llc, a netlink socket is opened which listens to device up/down events. For each event the flow is then adjusted with fccntl to notify the user the flow is down or back up again. In the normal IPCP an event is thrown if a write reports that the flow is down.

lib: Add fccntl configuration command

2017-08-31T07:18:41+00:00

This replaces the flow_set_* commands with a single fccntl command that can configure flows and the FRCT instance. For more details, see "man 3 fccntl".

dev: Revise fqueue API and add man pages
