If \fIbuild_id\fP is given as a hex string, \fIbuild_id_len\fP should be 0. Otherwise \fIbuild_id_len\fP should be the number of bytes in the binary blob. .BR debuginfod_find_source () also requries a \fIfilename\fP in order to specify a particular source file. \fIfilename\fP should be an absolute path that includes the compilation directory of the CU associated with the source file. Relative path names commonly appear in the DWARF file's source directory, but these paths are relative to individual compilation unit AT_comp_dir paths, and yet an executable is made up of multiple CUs. Therefore, to disambiguate, debuginfod expects source queries to prefix relative path names with the CU compilation-directory, followed by a mandatory "/". Note: the caller should not elide \fB../\fP or \fB/./\fP or extraneous \fB///\fP sorts of path components in the directory names, because if this is how those names appear in the DWARF files, that is what debuginfod needs to see too. If \fIpath\fP is not NULL and the query is successful, \fIpath\fP is set to the path of the file in the cache. The caller must \fBfree\fP() this value. The URLs in \fB$DEBUGINFOD_URLS\fP may be queried in parallel. As soon as a debuginfod server begins transferring the target file all of the connections to the other servers are closed. A \fBclient\fP handle should be used from only one thread at a time. .SH "RETURN VALUE" \fBdebuginfod_begin\fP returns the \fBdebuginfod_client\fP handle to use with all other calls. On error \fBNULL\fP will be returned and \fBerrno\fP will be set. If a find family function is successful, the resulting file is saved to the client cache and a file descriptor to that file is returned. The caller needs to \fBclose\fP() this descriptor. Otherwise, a negative error code is returned. .SH "PROGRESS CALLBACK" As the \fBdebuginfod_find_*\fP() functions may block for seconds or longer, a progress callback function is called periodically, if configured with .BR debuginfod_set_progressfn (). This function sets a new progress callback function (or NULL) for the client handle. The given callback function is called from the context of each thread that is invoking any of the other lookup functions. It is given two numeric parameters that, if thought of as a numerator \fIa\fP and denominator \fIb\fP, together represent a completion fraction \fIa/b\fP. The denominator may be zero initially, until a quantity such as an exact download size becomes known. The progress callback function is also the supported way to \fIinterrupt\fP the download operation. (The library does \fInot\fP modify or trigger signals.) The progress callback must return 0 to continue the work, or any other value to stop work as soon as possible. Consequently, the \fBdebuginfod_find_*\fP() function will likely return with an error, but might still succeed. .SH "CACHE" If the query is successful, the \fBdebuginfod_find_*\fP() functions save the target file to a local cache. The location of the cache is controlled by the \fB$DEBUGINFOD_CACHE_PATH\fP environment variable (see below). Cleaning of the cache is controlled by the \fIcache_clean_interval_s\fP and \fImax_unused_age_s\fP files, which are found in the \fB$DEBUGINFOD_CACHE_PATH\fP directory. \fIcache_clean_interval_s\fP controls how frequently the cache is traversed for cleaning and \fImax_unused_age_s\fP controls how long a file can go unused (fstat(2) atime) before it's removed from the cache during cleaning. These files should contain only an ASCII decimal integer representing the interval or max unused age in seconds. The default is one day and one week, respectively. Values of zero mean "immediately". .SH "SECURITY" .BR debuginfod_find_debuginfo (), .BR debuginfod_find_executable (), and .BR debuginfod_find_source () \fBdo not\fP include any particular security features. They trust that the binaries returned by the debuginfod(s) are accurate. Therefore, the list of servers should include only trustworthy ones. If accessed across HTTP rather than HTTPS, the network should be trustworthy. Passing user authentication information through the internal \fIlibcurl\fP library is not currently enabled, except for the basic plaintext \%\fIhttp[s]://userid:password@hostname/\fP style. (The debuginfod server does not perform authentication, but a front-end proxy server could.) .SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" .TP 21 .B DEBUGINFOD_URLS This environment variable contains a list of URL prefixes for trusted debuginfod instances. Alternate URL prefixes are separated by space. .TP 21 .B DEBUGINFOD_TIMEOUT This environment variable governs the timeout for each debuginfod HTTP connection. A server that fails to respond within this many seconds is skipped. The default is 5. .TP 21 .B DEBUGINFOD_CACHE_PATH This environment variable governs the location of the cache where downloaded files are kept. It is cleaned periodically as this program is reexecuted. The default is $HOME/.debuginfod_client_cache. .SH "ERRORS" The following list is not comprehensive. Error codes may also originate from calls to various C Library functions. .TP .BR EACCESS Denied access to resource located at the URL. .TP .BR ECONNREFUSED Unable to connect to remote host. .TP .BR ECONNRESET Unable to either send or recieve network data. .TP .BR EHOSTUNREACH Unable to resolve remote host. .TP .BR EINVAL One or more arguments are incorrectly formatted. \fIbuild_id\fP may be too long (greater than 256 characters), \fIfilename\fP may not be an absolute path or a debuginfod URL is malformed. .TP .BR EIO Unable to write data received from server to local file. .TP .BR EMLINK Too many HTTP redirects. .TP .BR ENETUNREACH Unable to initialize network connection. .TP .BR ENOENT Could not find the resource located at URL. Often this error code indicates that a debuginfod server was successfully contacted but the server could not find the target file. .TP .BR ENOMEM System is unable to allocate resources. .TP .BR ENOSYS \fB$DEBUGINFOD_URLS\fP is not defined. .TP .BR ETIME Query failed due to timeout. \fB$DEBUGINFOD_TIMEOUT\fP controls the timeout duration. See debuginfod(8) for more information. .SH "FILES" .LP .PD .1v .TP 20 .B $HOME/.debuginfod_client_cache Default cache directory. .PD .SH "SEE ALSO" .I "debuginfod(8)"
