Detailed Description

The From header indicates the initiator of the request.

It is defined in RFC 3261 as follows:

    From        =  ( "From" / "f" ) HCOLON from-spec
    from-spec   =  ( name-addr / addr-spec )
                   *( SEMI from-param )
    from-param  =  tag-param / generic-param
    tag-param   =  "tag" EQUAL token

The parsed From header is stored in sip_from_t structure.

Define Documentation

#define SIP_FROM_INIT ( )

Initializer for structure sip_from_t.

A static sip_from_t structure for From header must be initialized with the SIP_FROM_INIT() macro. For instance,

  sip_from_t sip_from = SIP_FROM_INIT;

#define SIPTAG_FROM ( x )

Tag list item for pointer to a From header structure sip_from_t.

The SIPTAG_FROM() macro is used to include a tag item with a pointer to a sip_from_t structure in a tag list.

Parameters:

x

pointer to a sip_from_t structure, or NULL.

The corresponding tag taking reference parameter is SIPTAG_FROM_REF().

#define SIPTAG_FROM_STR ( s )

Tag list item for string with From header value.

The SIPTAG_FROM_STR() macro is used to include a tag item with a string containing value of a sip_from_t header in a tag list.

Parameters:

s

pointer to a string containing From header value, or NULL.

The string in SIPTAG_FROM_STR() can be converted to a sip_from_t header structure by giving the string s has second argument to function sip_from_make().

The corresponding tag taking reference parameter is SIPTAG_FROM_STR_REF().

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct sip_addr_s sip_from_t

The structure sip_from_t contains representation of From header.

The sip_from_t is defined as follows:

 typedef struct sip_addr_s {
   sip_common_t       a_common[1];    // Common fragment info
   sip_error_t       *a_next;         // Link to next
   char const        *a_display;      // Display name
   url_t              a_url[1];       // URL
   msg_param_t const *a_params;       // List of from-param
   char const        *a_comment;      // Comment
   char const        *a_tag;          // Tag parameter
 } sip_from_t;

Function Documentation

int sip_from_add_param	(	su_home_t *	home,
		sip_from_t *	from,
		char const *	param
	)

Add a parameter to an sip_from_t object.

Parameters:

	home	memory home
	from	a pointer to sip_from_t object
	param	parameter string

Return values:

	0	when successful
	-1	upon an error

Deprecated:: Use msg_header_replace_param() directly.

sip_from_t * sip_from_copy	(	su_home_t *	home,
		sip_from_t const *	hdr
	)			`[inline]`

Copy a list of From header header structures sip_from_t.

The function sip_from_copy() copies a header structure hdr. If the header structure hdr contains a reference (hdr->h_next) to a list of headers, all the headers in that list are copied, too. The function uses given memory home to allocate all the memory areas used to copy the list of header structure hdr.

Parameters:

	home	memory home used to allocate new structure
	hdr	pointer to the header structure to be copied

When copying, only the header structure and parameter lists attached to it are duplicated. The new header structure retains all the references to the strings within the old hdr header, including the encoding of the old header, if present.

Example

   from = sip_from_copy(home, sip->sip_from);

Returns:: A pointer to newly copied header structure, or NULL upon an error.

sip_from_t* sip_from_create	(	su_home_t *	home,
		url_string_t const *	s
	)

Create a From header object with URL.

Create a From header object.

Parameters:

	home	memory home used to allocate sip_from_t structure
	s	pointer to the URL or a string

Returns:: A pointer to newly created From header object when successful or NULL upon an error.

sip_from_t * sip_from_dup	(	su_home_t *	home,
		sip_from_t const *	hdr
	)			`[inline]`

Duplicate a list of From header header structures sip_from_t.

Duplicate a header structure hdr. If the header structure hdr contains a reference (hdr->x_next) to a list of headers, all the headers in the list are duplicated, too.

Parameters:

	home	memory home used to allocate new structure
	hdr	header structure to be duplicated

When duplicating, all parameter lists and non-constant strings attached to the header are copied, too. The function uses given memory home to allocate all the memory areas used to copy the header.

Example

   from = sip_from_dup(home, sip->sip_from);

Returns:: A pointer to the newly duplicated sip_from_t header structure, or NULL upon an error.

sip_from_t * sip_from_format	(	su_home_t *	home,
		char const *	fmt,
			...
	)			`[inline]`

Make a From header from formatting result.

Make a new sip_from_t object using formatting result as its value. The function first prints the arguments according to the format fmt specified. Then it allocates a new header structure, and parses the formatting result to the structure sip_from_t.

Parameters:

	home	memory home used to allocate new header structure.
	fmt	string used as a printf()-style format
	...	argument list for format

Returns:: A pointer to newly makes header structure, or NULL upon an error.

sip_from_t* sip_from_init ( sip_from_t x[1] ) [inline]

Initialize a structure sip_from_t.

An sip_from_t structure for From header can be initialized with the sip_from_init() function/macro. For instance,

  sip_from_t sip_from;

  sip_from_init(&sip_from);

sip_from_t * sip_from_make	(	su_home_t *	home,
		char const *	s
	)			`[inline]`

Make a From header structure sip_from_t.

The function sip_from_make() makes a new sip_from_t header structure. It allocates a new header structure, and decodes the string s as the value of the structure.

Parameters:

	home	memory home used to allocate new header structure.
	s	string to be decoded as value of the new header structure

Returns:: A pointer to newly maked sip_from_t header structure, or NULL upon an error.

int sip_from_tag	(	su_home_t *	home,
		sip_from_t *	from,
		char const *	tag
	)

Add a tag to a From header.

If tag is identical with the existing one, nothing will be done. An error is returned, if the header already contains a different tag. The tag can be provided either as a single token ("deadbeer") or as in parameter form ("tag=deadbeer"). In both cases the tag is duplicated using the memory home home.

Parameters:

	home	memory home used to allocate new tag
	from	From header to modify
	tag	tag token or parameter to be added

Return values:

	0	when successful
	-1	upon an error.

int sip_is_from ( sip_header_t const * header ) [inline]

Test if header object is instance of sip_from_t.

Check if the header class is an instance of From header object and return true (nonzero), otherwise return false (zero).

Parameters:

header

pointer to the header structure to be tested

Return values:

	1	(true) if the header is an instance of header from
	0	(false) otherwise

Variable Documentation

msg_hclass_t sip_from_class[]

Header class for From header.

The header class sip_from_class defines how a SIP From header is parsed and printed. It also contains methods used by SIP parser and other functions to manipulate the sip_from_t header structure.
