libbozohttpd
is a library interface to the
bozohttpd(8) web server. The
libbozohttpd
library can be used to embed a webserver
in your applications.
Normal operation sees the libbozohttpd
process be initialised using the bozo_set_defaults
()
function, which will set up the default port and other internal settings,
allocating any necessary space as needed. The
bozo_set_defaults
() function returns 1 on sucess, 0
on failure.
The bozo_setup
() function is used to
specify the virtual host name for the web server. A NULL host name will mean
that libbozohttpd
will use the local value for the
host name, as returned by
gethostname(3). This
virtual hostname should be a fully qualified domain name. The final argument
to bozo_setup
() is the name of the directory to
serve as the root directory of the web server tree.
Once the server has been set up, it serves requests by using the
bozo_read_request
() function, which returns a
pointer to a request structure, and
bozo_process_request
(), which deals with the
request, and answers the client. The request space is de-allocated using the
bozo_clean_request
() function.
Preferences are set using the function
bozo_set_pref
() function and queried using the two
bozo_get_pref
() function. This is the main interface
for selecting options, and for setting preferences. The memory allocated by
bozo_setup
() for both the httpd structure and the
preferences will be freed.
libbozohttpd
library first appeared in
NetBSD 6.0.
