4.3 The _cmsg Structure
|
||||
4.3 SKBs
|
||||
|
||||
CAPI messages are passed between Kernel CAPI and the driver via send_message()
|
||||
and capi_ctr_handle_message(), stored in the data portion of a socket buffer
|
||||
(skb). Each skb contains a single CAPI message coded according to the CAPI 2.0
|
||||
standard.
|
||||
|
||||
For the data transfer messages, DATA_B3_REQ and DATA_B3_IND, the actual
|
||||
payload data immediately follows the CAPI message itself within the same skb.
|
||||
The Data and Data64 parameters are not used for processing. The Data64
|
||||
parameter may be omitted by setting the length field of the CAPI message to 22
|
||||
instead of 30.

||||
|
||||
4.4 The _cmsg Structure
|
||||
|
||||
(declared in <linux/isdn/capiutil.h>)
|
||||
|
||||
The _cmsg structure stores the contents of a CAPI 2.0 message in an easily
|
||||
accessible form. It contains members for all possible CAPI 2.0 parameters, of
|
||||
which only those appearing in the message type currently being processed are
|
||||
actually used. Unused members should be set to zero.

represent. See <linux/isdn/capiutil.h> for the exact spelling. Member data

7. Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
The module kernelcapi has a module parameter showcapimsgs controlling some
|
||||
debugging output produced by the module. It can only be set when the module is
|
||||
loaded, via a parameter "showcapimsgs=<n>" to the modprobe command, either on
|
||||
the command line or in the configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
If the lowest bit of showcapimsgs is set, kernelcapi logs controller and
|
||||
application up and down events.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, every registered CAPI controller has an associated traceflag
|
||||
parameter controlling how CAPI messages sent from and to tha controller are
|
||||
logged. The traceflag parameter is initialized with the value of the
|
||||
showcapimsgs parameter when the controller is registered, but can later be
|
||||
changed via the MANUFACTURER_REQ command KCAPI_CMD_TRACE.
|
||||
|
||||
If the value of traceflag is non-zero, CAPI messages are logged.
|
||||
DATA_B3 messages are only logged if the value of traceflag is > 2.
|
||||
|
||||
If the lowest bit of traceflag is set, only the command/subcommand and message
|
||||
length are logged. Otherwise, kernelcapi logs a readable representation of
|
||||
the entire message.
