Centrally managed resources include: `File name: Files name (absolute name), `Posix_shm name: Shared memory objects with name, `Posix_shm_preallocated(name,m): Shared memory objects already allocated by the master process. These objects are passed over to the worker processes by inheritance, and are always mapped at the same address. m is the bigarray mapping the object., `Posix_sem name: Semaphores with name, `Fork_point(inh,f): Fork points where let pid=f arg fork a new process with argument arg. pid is the process identifier. The list inh are resources inherited from the master., `Joint_point f: Joint points where let res=f pid wait until the process pid terminates. If res is non-None it is the result value. If it is None, no result was passed back (including all pathological cases like crashes)

Such objects identify containers.

The container state for workload management: `Accepting(n,t): The container is accepting further connections. It currently processes n connections. The last connection was accepted at time t (seconds since the epoch)., `Busy: The container does not accept connections, `Starting t: The container was started at time t and is not yet ready., `Shutting_down: The container is being shutted down.

A context is also opaque, and the same rules apply as for credential.

Types: `File: entry refers to file, `Cdir: entry refers to the directory being listed, `Pdir: entry is a parent of the directory being listed, `Dir: entry refers to directory, `Other: entry is neither file nor directory

The abstract type of a process environment

Entity tags can be weak or strong

An event is triggered when the condition of an operation becomes true, when a signal happens, or when the event is (artificially) added to the event queue (add_event, below).

A function of type exn_handler allows to define a custom handler of uncaught exceptions raised by the unit -> unit parameter.

Possible addresses: `Socket s: The socket at this socket address, `Socket_file f: The file f contains the (anonymous) port number of a socket bound to 127.0.0.1 (This is meant as substitute for Unix Domain sockets on Win32.), `W32_pipe name: The Win32 pipe with this name which must be of the form "\\.\pipe\<pname>", `W32_pipe_file f: The file f contains the (random) name of a Win32 pipe, `Container(socket_dir,service_name,proto_name,thread_id): The special endpoint of the container for service_name that is running as thread_id. It is system-dependent what this endpoint "is" in reality, usually a socket or named pipe. If any container of a service is meant, the value `Any is substituted as a placeholder for a not yet known thread_id.

These are the serious protocol violations after that the daemon stops any further processing.

Some information what kind of operations are reasonable for descriptors: `Read_write: The descriptor is neither a socket not one of the other special cases, so only read/write is possible if read/write is possible at all. This style is also used if it is meaningless to use data I/O like read/write at all., `Recv_send(sockaddr,peeraddr): The descriptor is a connected socket. recv/send are the preferred operations., `Recvfrom_sendto: The descriptor is an unconnected socket, and it is possible to ask for addresses when exchanging data, so recvfrom/sendto are the preferred operations., `Recv_send_implied: The descriptor is a socket with implied connection. There are no socket addresses. recv/send are the preferred operations. It is not possible to call getsockname or getpeername., `W32_pipe: The descriptor is a proxy descriptor for a Win32 named pipe as returned by Netsys_win32.pipe_descr. , `W32_pipe_server: The descriptor is a proxy descriptor for a Win32 pipe server as returned by Netsys_win32.pipe_server_descr. , `W32_event: The descriptor is a Win32 proxy descriptor for an event as returned by Netsys_win32.create_event. It is not possible to read/write with these descriptors., `W32_process: The descriptor is a proxy descriptor for a Win32 process as returned by Netsys_win32.create_process. It is not possible to read/write with these descriptors., `W32_input_thread: The descriptor is a proxy descriptor for a Win32-specific input thread as returned by Netsys_win32.create_input_thread. , `W32_output_thread: The descriptor is a proxy descriptor for a Win32-specific output thread as returned by Netsys_win32.create_output_thread. Win32: For the exact meaning of proxy descriptors, please see Netsys_win32.

Add-on features for file services: `Enable_gzip: Deprecated. Same as `Enable_cooked_compression., `Enable_cooked_compression: Modifies the way compressed files are handled. Normally it is required that one accesses the compressed file (with suffix such as "gz") directly to get it in compressed form. If this option is enabled, though, the server also compresses the base file (without suffix such as "gz"), but only if the base file is accompanied by a compressed version (with suffix). E.g. if there is "foo" and "foo.gz", this enables that the accesses to "foo" can make use of compression., `Enable_index_file: If enabled, accesses to directories are redirected to index files. The possible file names are given in the string list. E.g. `Enable_index_file ["index.html"; "index.htm"]. It is redirected to these files, so these can be handled by different services if neccessary., `Enable_listings: If enabled, directory listings are generated by calling the argument function. The PATH_TRANSLATED property of the environment contains the absolute name of the directory to list. The PATH_INFO property is the corresponding URI path. SCRIPT_NAME is meaningless., `Override_compression_suffixes l: Tags the file suffixes in l as compression schemes. A pair (suffix,ce) sets that the suffix means the content encoding ce. Knowing this is important for determining the media type of the file.

Describes a file service

There are several methods how to specify filenames: `NVFS name: The "Network Virtual File System" is the normal way of accessing FTP files. The client walks into the directory containing the file using CWD and CDUP commands, and calls the file operation from this directory. For simplicity, this client interprets slashes in name as path component separators. The FTP server will never see these slashes., `TVFS name: The optional "Trivial Network File System" avoids the CWD and CDUP commands. The tagged name is normalized (double slashed removed etc.), and is passed to the server as-is. Before using the faster TVFS one should check whether it is supported (feature "TVFS"). Note that even for TVFS there are no special files "." and ".."!, `Verbatim name: The string name is passed to the server without transforming it in any way.

Same as engine_state without `Working.

A fork point can start a new process with argument 'a

The form_code has a meaning when FTP is used to print files: `Non_print: This is not the case., `Telnet: Telnet control codes are used for vertical movement, `ASA: ASA (Fortran) control codes are used for vertical movement

The ftp_state reflects the knowledge of the client about what has been agreed upon with the server.

Determines whether and how keyboard signals (SIGINT, SIGQUIT) are forwarded from the caller to the new child.

Atoms:

Modes: `Existing_paths: Only paths are returned that really exist, `All_paths: Generated paths not including *, ? and bracket expressions are returned even if they do not exist. For example, globbing for "fictive{1,2,3}" would return ["ficitve1";"fictive2";"fictive3"] independent of whether these files exist., `All_words: Patterns that cannot be resolved are returned as-is (like the shell does)

A set of code points is given as a list of ranges (from,to), with from <= to.

Indicates the immediate reaction upon an arriving HTTP header: `Accept_body is the regular way of processing requests. If necessary, the client is told to continue sending the rest of the request., `Reject_body can be used when the body of the request is not needed, and the response will be negative., `Static means to send the header and a constant string back as response. The header is taken from the environment if not explicitly passed, Note: The Content-Length header is automatically added. The Content-Type defaults to "text/html"., `File is similar to this, but the data come from a file. The file is specified by an absolute pathname. The range of the file is given by the start position and the length of the range. The header is taken from the environment if not explicitly passed, Note: The Content-Length header is automatically added. The Content-Type defaults to "text/html"., `Std_response is similar to `Static, however the body is the standard text for the status code. If the header is omitted, it is taken as empty. The third argument is an optional entry into the error log. Note: The Content-Length header is automatically added. The Content-Type defaults to "text/html".

HTTP response status:

The type of the nethttpd_processor function

Specifies the user: `Effective_user: Take the effective user of the process, `Real_user: Take the real user of the process, `This_user(uid,gid,sup_groups,hostname): Pretend to be this user

Devices with look-ahead

Currently supported devices for input: `Polldescr(st,fd,esys): The poll system call is used with file descriptor fd to wait for incoming data. The event system esys is the underlying event queue. This works well for pipes, sockets etc. but not for normal files. The style st can be obtained from fd via Netsys.get_fd_style., `Multiplex mplex: The multiplex controller mplex is used as device. , `Buffer buf: Data comes from the buffer buf (which in turn is connected with a second device), `Count_in(f,d): Data is read from d, and every time a few bytes n are read the function f n is called (which may raise an exception) Generally, it is not well supported to read in parallel several times from the same device.

This is not used anywhere.

This type is for the method enhanced_input of enhanced_raw_in_channel.

Determines the type of the server for create2:

Determines the type of the client for create2:

Model constraints define the possible sub elements of an element: `Inline: The sub elements must belong to the class `Inline, `Block: The sub elements must be members of the classes `Block or `Essential_block, `Flow: The sub elements must belong to the classes `Inline, `Block, or `Essential_block, `Empty: There are no sub elements, `Any: Any sub element is allowed, `Special: The element has special content (e.g. <script>). Functionally equivalent to `Empty, `Elements l: Only these enumerated elements may occur as sub elements, `Or(m1,m2): One of the constraints m1 or m2 must hold, `Except(m1,m2): The constraint m1 must hold, and m2 must not hold, `Sub_exclusions(l,m): The constraint m must hold; furthermore, the elements enumerated in list l are not allowed as direct or indirect subelements, even if m or the model of a subelement would allow them. The difference to `Except(m, `Elements l) is that the exclusion is inherited to the subelements. The `Sub_exclusions expression must be toplevel, i.e. it must not occur within an `Or, `Except, or another 'Sub_exclusions expression. Note that the members of the class `Everywhere are allowed everywhere, regardless of whether the model constraint allows them or not.

a managed set

Sets in which order managed clients are picked from the services array passed to create_mset: `Failover: Picks an element from the first service in services that is enabled and has free capacity. That means that the first service is preferred until it is maxed out or it fails, then the second service is preferred, and so on., `Balance_load: Picks an element from the service in services that is enabled and has the lowest load.

How to parse multipart messages: `None: Do not handle multipart messages specially. Multipart bodies are not further decoded, and returned as `Body b where b is the transfer-encoded text representation., `Flat: If the top-level message is a multipart message, the parts are separated and returned as list. If the parts are again multipart messages, these inner multipart messages are not furher decoded and returned as `Body b., `Deep: Multipart messages are recursively decoded and returned as tree structure. This value determines how far the complex_mime_message structure is created for a parsed MIME message.

Mutators allow it to push new values onto the heap.

Types: `Normal mutexes have no checks for deadlocks., `Errorcheck mutexes check whether the process locks the mutex again, and fail in this case. Also, only the owning process can unlock a mutex., `Recursive mutexes allow that the owner locks several times. The same number of unlock requests need to be issued to give up the ownership

A name is also opaque, and the same rules apply as for credential.

See Netcgi.other_url_spec.

Buffers that can be attached to a device to get buffered I/O

Currently supported devices for output: `Polldescr(fd,esys): The poll system call is used with file descriptor fd to wait until data can be output. The event system esys is the underlying event queue. This works well for pipes, sockets etc. but not for normal files., `Multiplex mplex: The multiplex controller mplex is used as device. , `Buffer buf: Data is written to the buffer buf (which in turn is connected with a second device), `Count_out(f,d): Data is written to d, and every time a few bytes n are written the function f n is called (which may raise an exception) Generally, it is not well supported to write in parallel several times to the same device.

This is not used anywhere.

This is not the business of the user.

The ouput type determines how generated data is buffered.

See Netcgi.output_type.

Type of parallelization: `Multi_processing on a single host, `Multi_threading on a single host, `Controller_attached means that the service runs within the controller. This is (for now) only allowed for controller-internal services.

The representation of the transferred file: `ASCII: An ASCII variant is used, i.e. the server sends files in ASCII encoding with CR/LF as end-of-line marker. Supported by all servers., `EBCDIC: An EBCDIC variant is used, i.e. the server sends files in EBCDIC encoding with NEL as end-of-line marker, `Image: The file is transferred in its original binary representation. Supported by all servers. "Local" representations are not supported.

Embedded in the single place of use.

Flags for the init_sec_context method

A req_token represents a textual part of the received request: `Req_header is the full received header. Together with the header, the corresponding http_response object is returned which must be used to transmit the response., `Req_expect_100_continue is generated when the client expects that the server sends a "100 Continue" response (or a final status code) now. One should add `Resp_info_line resp_100_continue to the send queue if the header is acceptable, or otherwise generate an error response. In any case, the rest of the request must be read until `Req_end., `Req_body is a part of the request body. The transfer-coding, if any, is already decoded., `Req_trailer is the received trailer, `Req_end indicates the end of the request (the next request may begin immediately)., `Eof indicates the end of the stream, `Bad_request_error indicates that the request violated the HTTP protocol in a serious way and cannot be decoded. It is required to send a "400 Bad Request" response. The following token will be `Eof., `Fatal_error indicates that the connection crashed. The following token will be `Eof., `Timeout means that nothing has been received for a certain amount of time, and the protocol is in a state that the next request can begin. The following token will be `Eof. Note that it is always allowed to send tokens to the client.

The method (including the URI), and the HTTP version

This tagged integer identifies resources.

A name resolver is a function r called as r esys name reply.

The response state: `Inhibited = it is not yet allowed to start the response, `Queued = the response waits on the queue for activation, `Active = the response is currently being transmitted, `Processed = the response has been completely sent, `Error = an error occurred during the transmission of this response, `Dropped = an earlier response forced to close the connection, and this response is dequeued

The resp_token represents a textual part of the response to send: `Resp_info_line is an informational status line (code=100..199). There can be several informational lines, and they can be accompanied with their own headers. Such lines are only sent to HTTP/1.1 clients., `Resp_status_line is the final status line to send (code >= 200), `Resp_header is the whole response header to send, `Resp_body is the next part of the response body to send., `Resp_trailer is the whole response trailer to send (currently ignored), `Resp_action is special because it does not directly represent a token to send. The argument is a function which is called when the token is the next token on the active event queue. The function is also called when the event queue is dropped because of an error (the state of the response object indicates this). The function must not raise exceptions except Unix_error, and it must not block.

How to create the response body: `Memory: The response body is in-memory, `File f: The response body is stored into the file whose name is returned by f(), `Body f: The response body is stored into the object returned by f(), `Device f: The response is directly forwarded to the device obtained by f() (new since Ocamlnet-3.3) When the function f is called in the latter cases the response header has already been received, and can be retrieved with the response_header method of the call object.

Quoted pairs are already decoded in s., Control c: The control character c (0-31, 127, 128-255), Special c: The special character c, i.e. a character from the specials list, DomainLiteral s: The bracketed string s, i.e. a string between brackets. Quoted pairs are already decoded in s., Comment: A string between parentheses. This kind of token is only generated when the option Return_comments is in effect., EncodedWord((charset,lang),encoding,encoded_word): An RFC-2047 style encoded word: charset is the name of the character set; lang is the language specifier (from RFC 2231) or ""; encoding is either "Q" or "B"; and encoded_word is the word encoded in charset and encoding. This kind of token is only generated when the option Recognize_encoded_words is in effect (if not, Atom is generated instead)., Atom s: A string which is neither quoted not bracketed nor written in RFC 2047 notation, and which is not a control or special character, i.e. the "rest", End: The end of the string

The user can pass data buffers that base either on strings or on bigarrays of char (memory).

The client supports two structures: `File_structure: Files are simply contiguous streams of bytes, `Record_structure: Files are sequences of records. FTP does not make a difference between variable and fixed length records. It is not forbidden that the records are themselves structured into lines, in fact it can happen that end-of-line markers are contained in binary records. Operating systems that support record-structured files often store text files in this format, i.e. every line is stored in its own record, without end-of-line marker. If record structure is selected by a STRU command, it is recommended to use the classes Ftp_data_endpoint.out_record_channel and Ftp_data_endpoint.in_record_channel for the local representation of the files, otherwise the records may be incorrectly mapped to the local conventions. Page-structured files (i.e.

A telnet_command is the interpretation of the octets in a Telnet session, i.e.

Connectors: Telnet_connect(host,port): The client connects to this port., Telnet_socket s: The client uses an already connected socket. Why Telnet_socket? Telnet is a symmetrical protocol; client and servers implement the same protocol features (the only difference is the environment: a client is typically connected with a real terminal; a server is connected with a pseudo terminal).

telnet_negotiated_option: names for the most common options, and the generic name Telnet_option for other options.

An option has one of three states: Not_negotiated: There was no negotiation about the option. This means that the option is turned off (but this client is allowed to reject it explicitly), Accepted: Both sides have accepted the option., Rejected: One side has rejected the option. This also means that the option is off, but the client refuses to send further acknoledgements that the option is off (to avoid endless negotiation loops).

telnet_options: modifies the behaviour of the client.

Tests: `N: the file name exists, `E: the file exists, `D: the file exists and is a directory, `F: the file exists and is regular, `H: the file exists and is a symlink (possibly to a non-existing target), `R: the file exists and is readable, `W: the file exists and is writable, `X: the file exists and is executable, `S: the file exists and is non-empty

What to return as user name: `Exported_name: the exported name in binary format (as described in RFC 2078, section 3.2). This format can only be read back by the gss_api object generating the name., `Prefixed_name: the display name in a text format "{<oid>}<namestring>"., `Plain_name: the string part of the display name

How Rpc_server.get_user returns the user as string: `Full: The format includes all transmitted details: "<uid>.<gid>.<gid1>.<gid2>...@<hostname>". All user and group IDs are numeric. The first two numbers, <uid> and <gid> are always present. The other numbers are the supplementary group IDs and can be omitted. The <hostname> is the name passed in the credentials., `UID: The string is the numeric user ID, `Custom f: The string is returned by the function f. The arguments are uid, gid, the array of the supplementary group IDs and the hostname.
