nl::Weave::TLV::TLVWriter

#include <src/lib/core/WeaveTLV.h>

Provides a memory efficient encoder for writing data in Weave TLV format.

Summary

TLVWriter implements a forward-only, stream-style encoder for Weave TLV data. Applications write data to an encoding by calling one of the writer's Put() methods, passing associated tag and value information as necessary. Similarly applications can encode TLV container types (structures, arrays or paths) by calling the writer's OpenContainer() or EnterContainer() methods.

A TLVWriter object can write data directly to a fixed output buffer, or to a chain of one or more PacketBuffer objects. Additionally, applications can supply their own GetNewBuffer and FinalizeBuffer functions to direct output to an arbitrary destination, e.g. a socket or an event queue.

FinalizeBufferFunct

WEAVE_ERROR(* FinalizeBufferFunct)(TLVWriter &writer, uintptr_t bufHandle, uint8_t *bufStart, uint32_t bufLen)

A function used to perform finalization of the output from a TLVWriter object.

Functions of this type are called when a TLVWriter's Finalize() method is called. The function is expected to perform any necessary clean-up or finalization related to consuming the output of the writer object. Examples of this include such things as recording the final length of the encoding, or closing a file descriptor.

Details
Parameters
[in] writer
A reference to the TLVWriter object that is being finalized.
[in,out] bufHandle
A uintptr_t context value that was set by previous calls to the GetNewBuffer function.
[in,out] bufStart
A pointer to the beginning of the current (and final) output buffer.
[in,out] bufLen
The number of bytes contained in the buffer pointed to by bufStart.
Return Values
WEAVE_NO_ERROR
If finalization was successful.
other
Other Weave or platform-specific error codes indicating that an error occurred during finalization.

GetNewBufferFunct

WEAVE_ERROR(* GetNewBufferFunct)(TLVWriter &writer, uintptr_t &bufHandle, uint8_t *&bufStart, uint32_t &bufLen)

A function that supplies new output buffer space to a TLVWriter.

Functions of this type are used to prepare new buffer space for a TLVWriter to write to. When called, the function is expected to return a pointer to a memory location where new data should be written, along with an associated maximum length. The function can supply write space either by allocating a new buffer to hold the data or by clearing out previously written data from an existing buffer.

Details
Parameters
[in] writer
A reference to the TLVWriter object that is requesting new buffer space.
[in,out] bufHandle
A reference to a uintptr_t value that the function can use to store context data between calls. This value is initialized to 0 prior to the first call.
[in,out] bufStart
A reference to a data pointer. On entry to the function, bufStart points the beginning of the current output buffer. On exit, bufStart is expected to point to the beginning of the new output buffer. The new pointer value can be the same as the previous value (e.g. if the function copied the existing data elsewhere), or it can point to an entirely new location.
[in,out] bufLen
A reference to an unsigned integer. On entry to the function, bufLen contains the number of byte of unused space in the current buffer. On exit, bufLen is expected to contain the maximum number of bytes that can be written to the new output buffer.
Return Values
WEAVE_NO_ERROR
If the function was able to supply more buffer space for the writer.
other
Other Weave or platform-specific error codes indicating that an error occurred preventing the function from producing additional buffer space.

Public attributes

AppData

void * AppData

A pointer field that can be used for application-specific data.

FinalizeBuffer

FinalizeBufferFunct FinalizeBuffer

A pointer to a function that will be called when the TLVWriter is finalized.

A TLVWriter object will call the FinalizeBuffer function whenever its Finalize() method is called. Applications can set the function pointer at any point prior to calling Finalize(). By default the pointer is set to NULL, which causes the Finalize() method to forego calling the function.

See the FinalizeBufferFunct type definition for additional information on implementing a FinalizeBuffer function.

GetNewBuffer

GetNewBufferFunct GetNewBuffer

A pointer to a function that will supply new output buffer space to a TLVWriter.

A TLVWriter object will call the GetNewBuffer function whenever an attempt is made to write data that exceeds the size of the current output buffer. If set to NULL (the default value), the writer will return a WEAVE_ERROR_NO_MEMORY if the output data overflows the current buffer.

GetNewBuffer can be set by an application at any time, but is typically set when the writer is initialized.

See the GetNewBufferFunct type definition for additional information on implementing a GetNewBuffer function.

ImplicitProfileId

uint32_t ImplicitProfileId

The profile id of tags that should be encoded in implicit form.

When a writer is asked to encode a new element, if the profile id of the tag associated with the new element matches the value of the ImplicitProfileId member, the writer will encode the tag in implicit form, omitting the profile id in the process.

By default, the ImplicitProfileId property is set to kProfileIdNotSpecified, which instructs the writer not to emit implicitly encoded tags. Applications can set ImplicitProfileId at any time to enable encoding tags in implicit form starting at the current point in the encoding. The appropriate profile id to set is usually dependent on the context of the application or protocol being spoken.

CloseContainer

WEAVE_ERROR CloseContainer(
  TLVWriter & containerWriter
)

Completes the writing of a TLV container after a call to OpenContainer().

The CloseContainer() method restores the state of a parent TLVWriter object after a call to OpenContainer(). For every call to OpenContainer() applications must make a corresponding call to CloseContainer(), passing a reference to the same container writer to both methods.

When CloseContainer() returns, applications may continue to use the parent writer to write additional TLV elements that appear after the container element. At this point the supplied container writer should be considered 'de-initialized' and must not be used without re-initialization.

Details
Parameters
[in] containerWriter
A reference to the TLVWriter object that was supplied to the OpenContainer() method.
Return Values
WEAVE_NO_ERROR
If the method succeeded.
WEAVE_ERROR_INCORRECT_STATE
If the supplied container writer is not in the correct state.
WEAVE_ERROR_TLV_CONTAINER_OPEN
If another container writer has been opened on the supplied container writer and not yet closed.
WEAVE_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL
If completing the encoding of the container would exceed the limit on the maximum number of bytes specified when the writer was initialized.

CopyContainer

WEAVE_ERROR CopyContainer(
  TLVReader & container
)

Copies a TLV container element from TLVReader object.

The CopyContainer() encodes a new TLV container element by copying a pre-encoded container element located at the current position of a TLVReader object. The method writes the entirety of the new container element in one call, copying the container's type, tag and elements from the source encoding. When the method returns, the writer object can be used to write additional TLV elements following the container element.

Writing begins immediately after the last byte of existing data in the specified buffer. If allowDiscontiguousBuffers is true, additional PacketBuffers will be allocated and chained to the supplied buffer as needed to accommodate the amount of data written. If the specified output buffer is already the head of a chain of buffers, output will be written to the subsequent buffers in the chain before any new buffers are allocated.

Details
Parameters

OpenContainer

WEAVE_ERROR OpenContainer(
  uint64_t tag,
  TLVType containerType,
  TLVWriter & containerWriter
)

Initializes a new TLVWriter object for writing the members of a TLV container element.

The OpenContainer() method is used to write TLV container elements (structure, arrays or paths) to an encoding. The method takes the type and tag (if any) of the new container, and a reference to a new writer object (the container writer) that will be initialized for the purpose of writing the container's elements. Applications write the members of the new container using the container writer and then call CloseContainer() to complete the container encoding.

While the container writer is open, applications must not make calls on or otherwise alter the state of the parent writer.

The container writer inherits various configuration properties from the parent writer. These are:

  • The implicit profile id (ImplicitProfileId)
  • The application data pointer (AppData)
  • The GetNewBuffer and FinalizeBuffer function pointers

Details
Parameters
[in] tag
The TLV tag to be encoded with the container, or AnonymousTag if the container should be encoded without a tag. Tag values should be constructed with one of the tag definition functions ProfileTag(), ContextTag() or CommonTag().

PutStringF

WEAVE_ERROR PutStringF(
  uint64_t tag,
  const char *fmt,
  ...
)

Encode the string output formatted according to the format in the TLV element.

PutStringF is an analog of a sprintf where the output is stored in a TLV element as opposed to a character buffer. When extended printf functionality is available, the function is able to output the result string into a discontinuous underlying storage. The implementation supports the following printf enhancements:

The platform supplies a callback-based vcbprintf that provides the ability to call a custom callback in place of putchar.

The platform supplies a variant of vsnprintf called vsnprintf_ex, that behaves exactly like vsnprintf except it has provisions for omitting the first n characters of the output.

Note that while the callback-based function may be the simplest and use the least amount of code, the vsprintf_ex variety of functions will consume less stack.

If neither of the above is available, but platform provides malloc the function will allocate a temporary buffer to hold the output. When the platform supplies neither enhancement to the printf family nor malloc, the output is truncated such that it fits in the continuous state in the current TLV storage

Details
Parameters
[in] tag
The TLV tag to be encoded with the value, or AnonymousTag if the value should be encoded without a tag. Tag values should be constructed with one of the tag definition functions ProfileTag(), ContextTag() or CommonTag().
[in] fmt
The format string used to format the argument list. Follows the same syntax and rules as the format string for printf family of functions.
[in] ...
A list of arguments to be formatted in the output value according to fmt.
Return Values
WEAVE_NO_ERROR
If the method succeeded.
other
If underlying calls to TLVWriter methods WriteElementHead or GetNewBuffer failed, their error is immediately forwarded up the call stack.

StartContainer

WEAVE_ERROR StartContainer(
  uint64_t tag,
  TLVType containerType,
  TLVType & outerContainerType
)

Begins encoding a new TLV container element.

The StartContainer() method is used to write TLV container elements (structure, arrays or paths) to an encoding. The method takes the type and tag (if any) of the new container, and a reference to a TLVType value which will be used to save the current context of the writer while it is being used to write the container.

Once the StartContainer() method returns, the application should use the current TLVWriter object to write the elements of the container. When finish, the application must call the EndContainer() method to finish the encoding of the container.

Details
Parameters
[in] tag
The TLV tag to be encoded with the container, or AnonymousTag if the container should be encoded without a tag. Tag values should be constructed with one of the tag definition functions ProfileTag(), ContextTag() or CommonTag().

Public static functions

FinalizePacketBuffer

WEAVE_ERROR FinalizePacketBuffer(
  TLVWriter & writer,
  uintptr_t bufHandle,
  uint8_t *bufStart,
  uint32_t dataLen
)

An implementation of a TLVWriter FinalizeBuffer function for writing to a chain of PacketBuffers.

The FinalizePacketBuffer() function performs the necessary finalization required when using a TLVWriter to write to a chain of PacketBuffers. The function is designed to be used in conjunction with the GetNewPacketBuffer() function.

See the FinalizeBufferFunct type definition for additional information on the API of the FinalizePacketBuffer() function.

GetNewBuffer_Malloced

WEAVE_ERROR GetNewBuffer_Malloced(
  TLVWriter & writer,
  uintptr_t & bufHandle,
  uint8_t *& bufStart,
  uint32_t & bufLen
)

An implementation of a TLVWriter GetNewBuffer function for writing to a dynamic buffer.

The GetNewBuffer_Malloced() function supplies new output space to a TLVWriter by doubling the size of the underlying dynamic buffer as needed to store the encoding. The function is designed to be assigned to the TLVWriter GetNewBuffer function pointer.

See the GetNewBufferFunct type definition for additional information on the API of the GetNewBuffer_Malloced() function.

GetNewPacketBuffer

WEAVE_ERROR GetNewPacketBuffer(
  TLVWriter & writer,
  uintptr_t & bufHandle,
  uint8_t *& bufStart,
  uint32_t & bufLen
)

An implementation of a TLVWriter GetNewBuffer function for writing to a chain of PacketBuffers.

The GetNewPacketBuffer() function supplies new output space to a TLVWriter by allocating a chain of one or more PacketBuffers as needed to store the encoding. The function is designed to be assigned to the TLVWriter GetNewBuffer function pointer.

Note that when using the GetNewPacketBuffer with a TLVWriter, the corresponding FinalizePacketBuffer() function (or an equivalent) should also be used to finalize the buffer chain.
