MariGNOtti
|
|
|
|
MariGNOtti is a network driver for GNO/ME 2.0.6. It provides a translation
|
|
layer between BSD sockets and Marinetti. Think of it as a replacement for
|
|
GSTCP.
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
1. copy the marignotti, ftp, sic, and whois executables to your /usr/local/bin
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
ftp is an update of the gno 2.0.6 ftp (it adds passive ftp support).
|
|
|
|
whois is an updated version (from FreeBSD 9.0). The gno 2.0.6 version is
|
|
from FreeBSD 2.1.
|
|
|
|
sic is a very simple irc client.
|
|
example:
|
|
sic -h irc.a2central.com -p 6667 -n myname
|
|
(a bunch of messages)
|
|
:j #a2c.chat << join a room
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. copy the etc/services file to /etc/services (if it does not exist).
|
|
3. edit and copy the etc/resolv.conf file to /etc/resolv.conf (if it does
|
|
not exist). This file points to your DNS server; update it as needed.
|
|
|
|
4. If you do not have a DNS server, edit /etc/hosts to include your favorite
|
|
sites.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Run marignotti in the background (marignotti &). To quit, bring it to the
|
|
foreground (fg) and hit control-C.
|
|
|
|
If you're using the Sweet-16 emulator version 3.0, marignotti -d will print
|
|
some debugging information to the debugger console. marignotti -dd will
|
|
enable extra debugging information (including the contents of reads and
|
|
writes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What it does:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
While marignotti is running in the background, it translates BSD socket calls
|
|
into Marinetti tool calls. It also handles blocking IO, socket options,
|
|
select, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Architecture:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
BSD sockets are, by default, blocking whereas everything Marinetti does
|
|
(other than the inital network connection) is non-blocking. To handle
|
|
blocking behavior, each socket has a semaphore. The main thread performs
|
|
all the polling and uses the semaphore to signal the other threads when they
|
|
can proceed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported:
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
socket -- only support for PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, and SOCK_DGRAM.
|
|
|
|
connect -- but non-blocking connects are not yet supported.
|
|
|
|
bind -- currently a no-op since the old whois used it.
|
|
|
|
read/recv/recvfrom -- supports blocking, non-blocking, timeouts, and RCVLOWAT.
|
|
The address parameter of recvfrom is not supported. OOB is not supported.
|
|
|
|
write/send/sendto -- does not support SNDLOWAT, OOB, or the address parameter
|
|
of sendto.
|
|
|
|
close -- does not support SOLINGER type functionality.
|
|
|
|
shutdown -- sets flags but the flags are not completely implemented.
|
|
|
|
ioctl -- support for FIONREAD (bytes available to read) and FIONBIO
|
|
(set/clear non-blocking).
|
|
|
|
getsockopt -- support for SO_OOBINLINE, SO_SNDLOWAT, SO_RCVLOWAT,
|
|
SO_SNDTIMEO, SO_RCVTIMEO, SNDLOWAT and SNDTIMEO set flags but don't have any
|
|
other effect. OOBINLINE will only be supported when true.
|
|
|
|
getsockopt -- support for SO_TYPE, SO_OOBINLINE, SO_SNDLOWAT, SO_RCVLOWAT,
|
|
SO_SNDTIMEO
|
|
|
|
Not (yet) supported:
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- OOB (out of band) data (and will never be supported).
|
|
- raw sockets (SOCK_RAW)
|
|
- TCP servers (listen/accept). Should be simple, though.
|
|
- UDP servers
