Example echo-server

#include <libchirp.h>

static
void
recv_message_cb(ch_chirp_t* chirp, ch_message_t* msg);

static
void
sent_cb(ch_chirp_t* chirp, ch_message_t* msg, int status);

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

Next we have to initialize libchirp using ch_libchirp_init(). This will initialize the TLS library (LibreSSL or OpenSSL) and a mutex used during initialization of chirp-obejcts.

ch_libchirp_init();

ch_chirp_config_init() will initialize the config to its default values.

ch_config_t config;
ch_chirp_config_init(&config);

Next we have to set a certification chain. You can create it using the makepki Makefile on github. If you want to create it manually the chain has to contain:

• The certification authority’s public key
• The client public key (signed by CA)
• The client private key

Any client-key signed by the CA will be able to connect.

config.CERT_CHAIN_PEM = "./cert.pem";
config.DH_PARAMS_PEM  = "./dh.pem";

ch_chirp_run() initializes libuv, chirp, and runs main-loop.

ch_chirp_t chirp;
ch_chirp_run(
    &config,
    &chirp,
    recv_message_cb,
    NULL,
    NULL,
    NULL
);

If the user hits ctrl-c, the main-loop will close and we cleanup libchirp using ch_libchirp_cleanup().

    ch_libchirp_cleanup();
}

ch_chirp_send() will send the received message and then call send_cb.

static
void
recv_message_cb(ch_chirp_t* chirp, ch_message_t* msg)
{
    ch_chirp_send(chirp, msg, sent_cb);
}

The memory reserved for the message has to be retained till the message is sent or has failed, so we release the slot after message is successfully sent. ch_chirp_release_msg_slot()

static
void
sent_cb(ch_chirp_t* chirp, ch_message_t* msg, int status)
{
    ch_chirp_release_msg_slot(msg);
}
