+ + + + + + +
+
+ + +

Functions

+
+ + + +
new ()
+
+ + +Construct a new luci.jsonc.parser instance. + + + + + +

Usage:

+parser = luci.jsonc.new() + + + +

Return value:

+A luci.jsonc.parser object representing a JSON-C tokener. + + + +
+ + + + +
parse (json)
+
+ + +Parse a complete JSON string and convert it into a Lua data structure. + + +

Parameters

+
    + +
  • + json: A string containing the JSON data to parse, must be either a + JSON array or a JSON object. +
    • + +
+ + + + +

+On success, a table containing the parsed JSON data is returned, on + failure the function returns nil and a string containing the reason of + the parse error. + + + +

See also:

+ + +
+ + + + +
stringify (data, pretty)
+
+ + +Convert given Lua data into a JSON string. + +This function recursively converts the given Lua data into a JSON string, +ignoring any unsupported data. Lua tables are converted into JSON arrays if they +only contain integer keys, mixed tables are turned into JSON objects with any +existing numeric keys converted into strings. + +Lua functions, coroutines and userdata objects are ignored and Lua numbers are +converted to integers if they do not contain fractional values. + + + +

Parameters

+
    + +
  • + data: The Lua data to convert, can be a table, string, boolean or number. +
    • + +
  • + pretty: A boolean value indicating whether the resulting JSON should be + pretty printed. +
    • + +
+ + + + +

Usage:

+
json = luci.jsonc.stringify({ item = true, values = { 1, 2, 3 } }) 
+print(json)  -- '{"item":true,"values":[1,2,3]}'

Object Instance luci.jsonc.parser

+ +

+ LuCI JSON parser instance. + A JSON parser instance is useful to parse JSON data chunk by chunk, without + the need to assemble all data in advance.

+ + + + + + + +

Functions

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
parser:parse (json) + +Parses one chunk of JSON data.
parser:get () + +Convert parsed JSON data into Lua table.
parser:set (data) + +Put Lua data into the parser.
parser:stringify (pretty) + +Serialize current parser state as JSON.
+ + + + + + +
+
+ + +

+
+ + +Parses one chunk of JSON data. + + + +

Parameters

+
    + +
  • + json: String containing the JSON fragment to parse +
    • + +
+ + + + +

Usage:

+
parser = luci.jsonc.new() 
+ 
+while true do 
+	chunk = ...  -- fetch a cunk of data, e.g. from a socket 
+	finish, errmsg = parser.parse(chunk) 
+ 
+	if finish == nil then 
+		error("Cannot parse JSON: " .. errmsg) 
+	end 
+ 
+	if finish == true then 
+		break 
+	end 
+end
+ + + +

Return value:

+
    +
  • true if a complete JSON object has been parsed and no further input is + expected.
    • +
  • false if further input is required
    • +
  • nil if an error was encountered while parsing the current chunk. + In this case a string describing the parse error is returned as second + value.
+ + + +

    • + +
  • + length: Amount of Bytes to lock from current offset (optional) +
    • + +
+ + + + +

Usage

+
    + +
  • This function calls lockf() on POSIX and _locking() on Windows. + +
  • The "lock" command is blocking, "tlock" is non-blocking, + "ulock" unlocks and "test" only tests for the lock. + +
  • The "test" command is not available on Windows. + +
  • Locks are by default advisory on POSIX, but mandatory on Windows. + +

    • + +
+ + + + +

Usage

+
    + +
  • Warning: It is not guaranteed that all requested data + is read at once especially when dealing with pipes. + You have to check the return value - the length of the buffer actually read - + or use the safe IO functions in the high-level IO utility module. + +
  • The length of the return buffer is limited by the (compile time) + nixio buffersize which is nixio.const.buffersize (8192 by default). + Any read request greater than that will be safely truncated to this value. + +

+ + + + +

Usage

+
    + +
  • This function calls fsync() when data_only equals false + otherwise fdatasync(), on Windows _commit() is used instead. + +
  • fdatasync() is only supported by Linux and Solaris. For other systems + the data_only parameter is ignored and fsync() is always called. + +
+ + + +

Return value:

+true + + + +
+ + + + +
File:tell ()
+
+ + Return the current read / write offset of the file descriptor. + + + + + +

Usage:

    • + +
+ + + + +

Usage

+
    + +
  • Warning: It is not guaranteed that all data + in the buffer is written at once especially when dealing with pipes. + You have to check the return value - the number of bytes actually written - + or use the safe IO functions in the high-level IO utility module. + +

Class nixio.README

+ +

+ General Information.

+ + + + + + + + + + +

Tables

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Errorhandling + General error handling information.
Functions + Function conventions.
Platforms + Platform information.
TLS-Crypto + Cryptography and TLS libraries.
+ + + +
+
+ + + + +

Tables

+
+ +
Errorhandling
+
+ General error handling information. +
    +
  • Most of the functions available in this library may fail. If any error + occurs the function returns nil or false, an error code + (usually errno) and an additional error message text (if avaialable).
    • +
  • At the moment false is only returned when a non-blocking I/O function + fails with EAGAIN, EWOULDBLOCK or WSAEWOULDBLOCK for any others nil is + returned as first parameter. Therefore you can use false to write portable + non-blocking I/O applications.
    • +
  • Note that the function documentation does only mention the return values + in case of a successful operation.
    • +
  • You can find a table of common error numbers and other useful constants + like signal numbers in nixio.const e.g. nixio.const.EINVAL, + nixio.const.SIGTERM, etc. For portability there is a second error constant + table nixio.const_sock for socket error codes. This might + be important if you are dealing with Windows applications, on POSIX however + const_sock is just an alias for const.
    • +
  • With some exceptions - which are explicitely stated in the function + documentation - all blocking functions are signal-protected and will not fail + with EINTR.
    • +
  • On POSIX the SIGPIPE signal will be set to ignore upon initialization. + You should restore the default behaviour or set a custom signal handler + in your program after loading nixio if you need this behaviour.
    • +
+ + + +
+ + +
Functions
+
+ Function conventions. +
In general all functions are namend and behave like their POSIX API + counterparts - where applicable - applying the following rules: +
    +
  • Functions should be named like the underlying POSIX API function ommiting + prefixes or suffixes - especially when placed in an object-context ( + lockf -> File:lock, fsync -> File:sync, dup2 -> dup, ...)
    • +
  • If you are unclear about the behaviour of a function you should consult + your OS API documentation (e.g. the manpages).
    • +
  • If the name is significantly different from the POSIX-function, the + underlying function(s) are stated in the documentation.
    • +
  • Parameters should reflect those of the C-API, buffer length arguments and + by-reference parameters should be ommitted for pratical purposes.
    • +
  • If a C function accepts a bitfield as parameter, it should be translated + into lower case string flags representing the flags if the bitfield is the + last parameter and also ommiting prefixes or suffixes. (e.g. waitpid + (pid, &s, WNOHANG | WUNTRACED) -> waitpid(pid, "nohang", "untraced"), + getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &opt, sizeof(opt)) -> + Socket:getopt("socket", "reuseaddr"), etc.)
    • +
  • If it is not applicable to provide a string representation of the + bitfield a bitfield generator helper is provided. It is named FUNCTION_flags. + (open("/tmp/test", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK) -> open("/tmp/test", open_flags( + "rdonly", "nonblock")))
    • +
+ + + +
+ + +
Platforms
+
+ Platform information. +
    +
  • The minimum platform requirements are a decent POSIX 2001 support. + Builds are more or less tested on Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD. Builds for + Windows XP SP1 and later can be compiled with MinGW either from Windows + itself or using the MinGW cross-compiler. Earlier versions of Windows are not + supported.
    • +
  • In general all functions which don't have any remarks + in their documentation are available on all platforms.
    • +
  • Functions with a (POSIX), (Linux) or similar prefix are only available + on these specific platforms. Same appplies to parameters of functions + with a similar suffix.
    • +
  • Some functions might have limitations on some platforms. This should + be stated in the documentation. Please also consult your OS API + documentation.
    • +
+ + + +
+ + +
TLS-Crypto
+
+ Cryptography and TLS libraries. +
    +
  • Currently 3 underlying cryptography libraries are supported: openssl, + cyassl and axTLS. The name of the library in use is written to + nixio.tls_provider
    • +
  • You should whenever possible use openssl or cyassl as axTLS has only + limited support. It does not provide support for non-blocking sockets and + is probably less audited than the other ones.
    • +
  • As the supported Windows versions are not suitable for embedded devices + axTLS is at the moment not supported on Windows.
    • +

Object Instance nixio.UnifiedIO

+ +

+ Unified high-level I/O utility API for Files, Sockets and TLS-Sockets. + These functions are added to the object function tables by doing + require "nixio.util", can be used on all nixio IO Descriptors and + are based on the shared low-level read() and write() functions.

+ + + + + + + +

Functions

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
UnifiedIO:blocksource (blocksize, limit) + Create a block-based iterator.
UnifiedIO:close () + Close the descriptor.
UnifiedIO:copy (fdout, size) + Copy data from the current descriptor to another one.
UnifiedIO:copyz (fdout, size) + Copy data from the current descriptor to another one using kernel-space + copying if possible.
UnifiedIO:is_file () + Test whether the I/O-Descriptor is a file.
UnifiedIO:is_socket () + Test whether the I/O-Descriptor is a socket.
UnifiedIO:is_tls_socket () + Test whether the I/O-Descriptor is a TLS socket.
UnifiedIO:linesource (limit) + Create a line-based iterator.
UnifiedIO:readall (length) + Read a block of data and wait until all data is available.
UnifiedIO:sink (close_when_done) + Create a sink.
UnifiedIO:writeall (block) + Write a block of data and wait until all data is written.
+ + + + + + +
+
+ + +

Functions

+
+ + + +
UnifiedIO:blocksource (blocksize, limit)
+
+ + Create a block-based iterator. + + +

Parameters

+
    + +
  • + blocksize: Advisory blocksize (optional) +
    • + +
  • + limit: Amount of data to consume (optional) +
    • + +
+ + + + +

Usage

+
    + +
  • This function uses the low-level read function of the descriptor. + +
  • The blocksize given is only advisory and to be seen as an upper limit, + if an underlying read returns less bytes the chunk is nevertheless returned. + +
  • If the limit parameter is ommited, the iterator returns data + until an end-of-file, end-of-stream, connection shutdown or similar happens. + +
  • The iterator will not buffer so it is safe to mix with calls to read. + +
  • If the descriptor is non-blocking the iterator may fail with EAGAIN. + +
  • The iterator can be used as an LTN12 source. + +
+ + + +

Return value:

+Block-based Iterator + + + +
+ + + + +
UnifiedIO:close ()
+
+ + Close the descriptor. + + + + + +

Usage:

+If the descriptor is a TLS-socket the underlying descriptor is + closed without touching the TLS connection. + + + +

Return value:

+true + + + +
+ + + + +
UnifiedIO:copy (fdout, size)
+
+ + Copy data from the current descriptor to another one. + + +

Parameters

+
    + +
  • + fdout: Target Descriptor +
    • + +
  • + size: Bytes to copy (optional) +
    • + +
+ + + + +

Usage

+
    + +
  • This function uses the blocksource function of the source descriptor + and the sink function of the target descriptor. + +
  • If the limit parameter is ommited, data is copied + until an end-of-file, end-of-stream, connection shutdown or similar happens. + +
  • If the descriptor is non-blocking the function may fail with EAGAIN. + +
+ + + +

Return values:

+
    + +
  1. bytes that were successfully written if no error occured + +
  2. - reserved for error code - + +
  3. - reserved for error message - + +
  4. bytes that were successfully written even if an error occured + +
+ + + +
+ + + + +
UnifiedIO:copyz (fdout, size)
+
+ + Copy data from the current descriptor to another one using kernel-space + copying if possible. + + +

Parameters

+
    + +
  • + fdout: Target Descriptor +
    • + +
  • + size: Bytes to copy (optional) +
    • + +
+ + + + +

Usage

+
    + +
  • This function uses the sendfile() syscall to copy the data or the + blocksource function of the source descriptor and the sink function + of the target descriptor as a fallback mechanism. + +
  • If the limit parameter is ommited, data is copied + until an end-of-file, end-of-stream, connection shutdown or similar happens. + +
  • If the descriptor is non-blocking the function may fail with EAGAIN. + +
+ + + +

Return values:

+
    + +
  1. bytes that were successfully written if no error occured + +

    • + +
+ + + + +

Usage

+
    + +
  • This function uses the low-level read function of the descriptor. + +
  • Note: This function uses an internal buffer to read + ahead. Do NOT mix calls to read(all) and the returned iterator. If you want + to stop reading line-based and want to use the read(all) functions instead + you can pass "true" to the iterator which will flush the buffer + and return the bufferd data. + +
  • If the limit parameter is ommited, this function uses the nixio + buffersize (8192B by default). + +
  • If the descriptor is non-blocking the iterator may fail with EAGAIN. + +
  • The iterator can be used as an LTN12 source. + +
+ + + +

Return value:

  • If the length parameter is ommited, this function returns all data + that can be read before an end-of-file, end-of-stream, connection shutdown + or similar happens. + +
  • If the descriptor is non-blocking this function may fail with EAGAIN. + +
+ + + +

Return values:

+
    + +
  1. data that was successfully read if no error occured + +
  2. - reserved for error code - + +
  3. - reserved for error message - + +
  4. data that was successfully read even if an error occured + +
+ + + +
+ + + + +
UnifiedIO:sink (close_when_done)
+
+ + Create a sink. + This sink will simply write all data that it receives and optionally + close the descriptor afterwards. + + +
