I have a simple struct as follows:
typedef struct {
char *raw_headers;
char headers[128][512][512];
} HTTPrequest;
Now in the same file I have a function as follows:
void init_request(char *raw_headers) {
HTTPrequest request;
request.raw_headers = raw_headers;
}
This results in a Segmentation Fault when running the output binary.
I compile the file, as
$ gcc Server.c -o Builds/debug
And, I run the executable as,
$ ./Builds/debug
This is my original file as requested:
Parser.h
typedef struct {
char *raw_headers;
char headers[128][512][512];
} HTTPrequest;
void parser_init(char *raw_headers) {
char *token, *key_value = NULL;
token = strtok(raw_headers, "\r\n");
int line_counter = 1
HTTPrequest request;
request.raw_headers = raw_headers;
while (token) {
char *line = token;
if(line_counter != 1) {
}
token = strtok(NULL, "\r\n");
line_counter++;
}
}
Server.h
int socket_create() {
return socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
}
void infinite_loop(int socketFD) {
char buffer[1024];
memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
printf("Starting infinite loop, don't worry, everything would be okay!\n");
do {
int connectionFD = accept(socketFD, (struct sockaddr*) NULL, NULL);
/*Accept is a blocking call! The following code wont execute until, accept() returns.*/
strcpy(buffer, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\nHello!");
write(connectionFD, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
char request[2048];
memset(&request, 0, sizeof(request));
read(connectionFD, &request, sizeof(request));
printf("Request received!\n");
// Init the parser.
parser_init(request);
close(connectionFD);
} while (true);
}

The headers member (32MiB) makes your struct too big to fit on most default system-provided stacks (8MiB on Linux).
Make it smaller, and trivial MCVEs such as:
typedef struct {
char *raw_headers;
char headers/*[128]*/[512][512]; }
HTTPrequest;
void init_request(char *raw_headers) {
HTTPrequest request;
request.raw_headers = raw_headers;
}
int main()
{
init_request("hello, world");
}
will work, although, initializing an on-stack struct only to have it discarded by the function return is not very meaningful
(Initializer functions will usually take a pointer to the struct they're initializing and initialize the object through that pointer.)
Although your HTTPrequest is simple, it is over 32MB in size. You most probably encounter a stack overflow...
That's a typical case of Stack overflow!
The reason is that your struct HTTPrequest is too big, more than 32 MB. The 3D array has a size of 128 * 512 * 512 = 33554432 bytes, since it's of type char.
In any case, 3D arrays are barely used, and only in special cases. Reconsider your design and try to make that array a 2D instead of a 3D.
I have a basic server-client program that I'm writing in C and I am stuck with an issue regarding strings and concatenation.
Basically I have some strings (in the example below just 2) that I have to put into a buffer which size is determined by:
total # of registered people * 33
Both the strings in the example have a length which is much less than the length of the buffer. I want to obtain something like this after the concatenation:
[0] [32]
people_list=Mark Amy\0;
where Mark(which is inserted secondly) is right at the start of the buffer (people_list) and Amy is 32 characters away from the start of Mark (I hope I've made myself clear).
This is because the client code was given to me and I cannot modify it. The client code takes the buffer and reads the first element, then jumps of 32 chars and reads again.
The output I get from the printf of the client is this:
connected to server
Registered people:
Mark
while I'd like this:
connected to server
Registered people:
Mark
Amy
The communication is implemented through sockets, which I have already checked, but if you wish to suggest some changes I would appreciate that.

I really hope I've explained the problem clearly! Thank you for your help!
It's printing only the first user (Mark) because of this line:
int people_n = len_data / (LENGTH+1);
In this example, len_data = 65, LENGTH = 32. So when you are adding 1 to LENGTH, it will return 1 (65/33 = 1.96 => you get 1). Then it only prints the first user.
Consider using Valgrind. It will help you checking the use of the memory.

I tried outputting each char of the ifr_name array one-by-one to see if they were null terminated but that didn't change much.

Poll as in you want to be notified if an interface is added or removed? Or polled as in you just want to find out the interface names once from the system? If the latter, take a look at getifaddrs().
Please see http://git.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=libmnl.git;a=blob;f=examples/rtnl/rtnl-link-dump.c;hb=HEAD on how to get the list of interfaces on Linux. AF_ROUTE is some BSD thing and the use of ioctl is discouraged on Linux for its apparent limitations (such as to convey multiple addresses on a single interface).
I am trying to obtain the MAC addresses of all of my interface on OSX using C. The common ways to obtain it Linux dont work on BSD - from everything I have seen, you must obtain the interfaces and look for the ones that are of type AF_LINK. My problem is that the LLADDR(sockaddr_dl) gives me a whole bunch of data (which includes my MAC) and I dont know what format the data is in. For example; the following code will output:
Device: en1
link sdl_alen: 101 mac:
31:f8:1e:df:d6:22:1d:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:b0:06:10:00:01:00:00:00:c0:02:10:00:01:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:40
:03:10:00:01:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:03:00:6c:6f:30:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:70:03:10:00:01:00:00:00:e0:
02:10:00:01:00:00:
My MAC is bolded. It seems that this is the format all of the time, but I would be a lot more comfortable if I could cast LLADDR(sockaddr_dl) to something. In the net/if_dl.h, LLADDR is defied as:
#define LLADDR(s) ((caddr_t)((s)->sdl_data + (s)->sdl_nlen))
which, as far as I can tell, is saying that the results are of type (void *) - no help.

Having a problem figuring out how to get Ethernet interface info on Mac OS X using ioctl/SIOCGIFADDR/SIOCGIFCONF?
seem to think they have it figured out, but if you look through the code, you can see it will not work due to sdl_alen not being 6.
int main() {
pcap_if_t *alldevs;
pcap_if_t *d;
pcap_addr_t *alladdrs;
pcap_addr_t *a;
struct sockaddr_dl* link;
char eb[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
char *addr_buf[40];
if (pcap_findalldevs(&alldevs, eb) == -1) {
printf("no devs found\n");
return(-1);
}
for (d = alldevs; d != NULL; d = d->next) {
printf("Device: %s\n", d->name);
alladdrs = d->addresses;
for (a = alladdrs; a != NULL; a = a->next) {
if(a->addr->sa_family == AF_LINK && a->addr->sa_data != NULL){
// MAC ADDRESS
//struct sockaddr_dl *sdl = (struct sockaddr_dl *) a->addr->sa_data;
link = (struct sockaddr_dl*)a->addr->sa_data;
char mac[link->sdl_alen];
caddr_t macaddr = LLADDR(link);
memcpy(mac, LLADDR(link), link->sdl_alen);
printf("link sdl_alen: %i\n", link->sdl_alen);
int i;
printf("mac: ");
for(i = 0; i<link->sdl_alen; i++){
printf("%02x:", (unsigned char)mac[i]);
}
printf("\n");
}
}
}
}
The problem is that you are casting the sockaddr->sa_data to sockaddr_dl instead of casting the sockaddr itself to sockaddr_dl. Keep in mind that sockaddr_dl is an OS X/BSD thing, so #ifdef that part for portability.
Don't do:
link = (struct sockaddr_dl*)a->addr->sa_data;
Do:
link = (struct sockaddr_dl*)a->addr;
Then you will get the correct sdl_alen and things will work with out any hacks. And if you want to really easily get the name of addresses that may be either AF_INET, AF_INET6, or AF_LINK use getnameinfo():
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <net/if_dl.h>
int get_sock_len(struct sockaddr *sa)
{
switch (sa->sa_family) {
case AF_INET:
return sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
case AF_INET6:
return sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6);
case AF_LINK:
return sizeof(struct sockaddr_dl);
default:
return -1;
}
}
int get_numeric_address(struct sockaddr *sa, char *outbuf, size_t buflen) {
socklen_t len;
if ((len = get_sock_len(sa)) < 0) {
return -1;
}
if (getnameinfo(sa, len, outbuf, buflen, NULL, 0, NI_NUMERICHOST)) {
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
...
char buf[NI_MAXHOST];
if (!get_numeric_address(sa, buf, sizeof(buf))) { /* For some struct sockaddr *sa */
printf("address: %s\n", buf);
} else {
printf("doh!\n");

I was trying to see all devices reported by pcap_findalldevs and ended up here looking for information on interpreting AF_LINK addresses on MAC OS.
I'm used to seeing the struct sockaddr standing in for a interface family and being immediately cast to the appropriate type and not writing code to access *sa_data*.
For what I wanted it was sufficient to use link_ntoa to convert the address to a human readable form.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#include <pcap.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <net/if_dl.h>
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
pcap_if_t* allDevs = NULL;
char errbuff[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE];
if (pcap_findalldevs(&allDevs, errbuff) <0) {
NSLog(#"Failed with error '%s'", errbuff);
}
else {
for (pcap_if_t* device = allDevs; device != NULL; device = device->next) {
for (pcap_addr_t* address = device->addresses; address != NULL; address = address->next) {
struct sockaddr* sa_addr = address->addr;
if (sa_addr->sa_family == AF_LINK) {
struct sockaddr_dl* link_addr = (struct sockaddr_dl*) sa_addr;
char* linkAddress = link_ntoa(link_addr);
NSLog(#"ntoa %s", linkAddress);
}
}
}
}
pcap_freealldevs(allDevs);
[pool drain];
return 0;
}
Running on my machine I get the following devices with AF_LINK entries.

I am working on Ubuntu. How can I get MAC address of my machine or an interface say eth0 using C program.
Much nicer than all this socket or shell madness is simply using sysfs for this:
the file /sys/class/net/eth0/address carries your mac adress as simple string you can read with fopen()/fscanf()/fclose(). Nothing easier than that.
And if you want to support other network interfaces than eth0 (and you probably want), then simply use opendir()/readdir()/closedir() on /sys/class/net/.
You need to iterate over all the available interfaces on your machine, and use ioctl with SIOCGIFHWADDR flag to get the mac address. The mac address will be obtained as a 6-octet binary array. You also want to skip the loopback interface.
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <unistd.h>

struct ifconf ifc;

int success = 0;
int sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP);
if (sock == -1) { /* handle error*/ };
ifc.ifc_len = sizeof(buf);
ifc.ifc_buf = buf;
if (ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFCONF, &ifc) == -1) { /* handle error */ }
struct ifreq* it = ifc.ifc_req;
const struct ifreq* const end = it + (ifc.ifc_len / sizeof(struct ifreq));
for (; it != end; ++it) {
strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, it->ifr_name);
if (ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFFLAGS, &ifr) == 0) {
if (! (ifr.ifr_flags & IFF_LOOPBACK)) { // don't count loopback
if (ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFHWADDR, &ifr) == 0) {
success = 1;
break;
}
}
}
else { /* handle error */ }
}
unsigned char mac_address[6];
if (success) memcpy(mac_address, ifr.ifr_hwaddr.sa_data, 6);
}
You want to take a look at the getifaddrs(3) manual page. There is an example in C in the manpage itself that you can use. You want to get the address with the type AF_LINK.

Using getifaddrs you can get MAC address from the family AF_PACKET.
In order to display the MAC address to each interface, you can proceed like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ifaddrs.h>
#include <netpacket/packet.h>
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
struct ifaddrs *ifaddr=NULL;
struct ifaddrs *ifa = NULL;
int i = 0;
if (getifaddrs(&ifaddr) == -1)
{
perror("getifaddrs");
}
else
{
for ( ifa = ifaddr; ifa != NULL; ifa = ifa->ifa_next)
{
if ( (ifa->ifa_addr) && (ifa->ifa_addr->sa_family == AF_PACKET) )
{
struct sockaddr_ll *s = (struct sockaddr_ll*)ifa->ifa_addr;
printf("%-8s ", ifa->ifa_name);
for (i=0; i <s->sll_halen; i++)
{
printf("%02x%c", (s->sll_addr[i]), (i+1!=s->sll_halen)?':':'\n');
}
}
}
freeifaddrs(ifaddr);
}
return 0;
}
Ideone
I have just write one and test it on gentoo in virtualbox.
// get_mac.c
#include <stdio.h> //printf
#include <string.h> //strncpy
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/if.h> //ifreq
#include <unistd.h> //close
int main()
{
int fd;
struct ifreq ifr;
char *iface = "enp0s3";
unsigned char *mac = NULL;
memset(&ifr, 0, sizeof(ifr));
fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
ifr.ifr_addr.sa_family = AF_INET;
strncpy(ifr.ifr_name , iface , IFNAMSIZ-1);
if (0 == ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFHWADDR, &ifr)) {
mac = (unsigned char *)ifr.ifr_hwaddr.sa_data;
//display mac address
printf("Mac : %.2X:%.2X:%.2X:%.2X:%.2X:%.2X\n" , mac[0], mac[1], mac[2], mac[3], mac[4], mac[5]);
}
close(fd);
return 0;
}
Assuming that c++ code (c++11) is okay as well and the interface is known.
#include <cstdint>
#include <fstream>
#include <streambuf>
#include <regex>
using namespace std;
uint64_t getIFMAC(const string &ifname) {
ifstream iface("/sys/class/net/" + ifname + "/address");
string str((istreambuf_iterator<char>(iface)), istreambuf_iterator<char>());
if (str.length() > 0) {
string hex = regex_replace(str, std::regex(":"), "");
return stoull(hex, 0, 16);
} else {
return 0;
}
}
int main()
{
string iface = "eth0";
printf("%s: mac=%016llX\n", iface.c_str(), getIFMAC(iface));
}
On Linux, use the service of "Network Manager" over the DBus.
There is also good'ol shell program which can be invoke and the result grabbed (use an exec function under C):
$ /sbin/ifconfig | grep HWaddr
A very portable way is to parse the output of this command.
ifconfig | awk '$0 ~ /HWaddr/ { print $5 }'
Provided ifconfig can be run as the current user (usually can) and awk is installed (it often is). This will give you the mac address of the machine.

This is a Bash line that prints all available mac addresses, except the loopback:
for x in `ls /sys/class/net |grep -v lo`; do cat /sys/class/net/$x/address; done
Can be executed from a C program.
