-NAME
-----
-
-socket_wrapper - A library passing all socket communications through unix sockets.
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-
-LD_PRELOAD=libsocket_wrapper.so SOCKET_WRAPPER_DIR=/tmp/tmp.bQRELqDrhM SOCKET_WRAPPER_DEFAULT_IFACE=10 *./myapplication*
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-
-socket_wrapper aims to help client/server software development teams willing to
-gain full functional test coverage. It makes possible to run several instances
-of the full software stack on the same machine and perform locally functional
-testing of complex network configurations.
-
-- Redirects all network communication to happen over Unix sockets.
-- Support for IPv4 and IPv6 socket and addressing emulation.
-- Ability to capture network traffic in pcap format.
-- Passing IP sockets (up to 6) via SCM_RIGHTS is supported,
- but pcap support only works reliable if the socket is used
- by a single process at a time.
-
-ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
----------------------
-
-*SOCKET_WRAPPER_DIR*::
-
-The user defines a directory where to put all the unix sockets using the
-environment variable "SOCKET_WRAPPER_DIR=/path/to/socket_dir". When a server
-opens a port or a client wants to connect, socket_wrapper will translate IP
-addresses to a special socket_wrapper name and look for the relevant Unix
-socket in the SOCKET_WRAPPER_DIR.
-
-*SOCKET_WRAPPER_IPV4_NETWORK*::
-
-By default the loopback IPv4 network "127.0.0.0/8" and the
-"127.0.0.x" can be used. In order to make more realistic testing
-possible it is possible to use the "10.0.0.0/8" IPv4 network instead.
-But note within "10.0.0.0/8" only "10.53.57.<ID>" can be used,
-but the broadcast address is "10.255.255.255".
-The following two value are allowed:
-SOCKET_WRAPPER_IPV4_NETWORK="127.0.0.0" (the default) and
-SOCKET_WRAPPER_IPV4_NETWORK="10.53.57.0".
-
-*SOCKET_WRAPPER_DEFAULT_IFACE*::
-
-Additionally, the default interface to be used by an application is defined with
-"SOCKET_WRAPPER_DEFAULT_IFACE=<ID>" where the valid range for <ID> starts with 1
-(the default) and ends with 64. This is analogous to use the IPv4 addresses
-"127.0.0.<ID>"/"10.53.57.<ID>" or IPv6 addresses "fd00::5357:5f<IDx>" (where
-<IDx> is a hexadecimal presentation of <ID>). You should always set the default
-interface. If you listen on INADDR_ANY then it will use the default interface to
-listen on.
-
-*SOCKET_WRAPPER_PCAP_FILE*::
-
-When debugging, it is often interesting to investigate the network traffic
-between the client and server within your application. If you define
-SOCKET_WRAPPER_PCAP_FILE=/path/to/file.pcap, socket_wrapper will dump all your
-network traffic to the specified file. After the test has been finished you're
-able to open the file for example with Wireshark.
-
-*SOCKET_WRAPPER_MTU*::
-
-With this variable you can change the MTU size. However we do not recomment to
-do that as the default size of 1500 byte is best for formatting PCAP files.
-
-The minimum value you can set is 512 and the maximum 32768.
-
-*SOCKET_WRAPPER_MAX_SOCKETS*::
-
-This variable can be used to set the maximum number of sockets to be used by
-an application.
-
-The default value is set to 65535 and the maximum 256000.
-
-*SOCKET_WRAPPER_DEBUGLEVEL*::
-
-If you need to see what is going on in socket_wrapper itself or try to find a
-bug, you can enable logging support in socket_wrapper if you built it with
-debug symbols.
-
-- 0 = ERROR
-- 1 = WARNING
-- 2 = DEBUG
-- 3 = TRACE
-
-*SOCKET_WRAPPER_DISABLE_DEEPBIND*::
-
-This allows you to disable deep binding in socket_wrapper. This is useful for
-running valgrind tools or sanitizers like (address, undefined, thread).
-
-*SOCKET_WRAPPER_DIR_ALLOW_ORIG*::
-
-SOCKET_WRAPPER_DIR is resolved by socket_wrapper using realpath(3).
-Given that Unix sockets are constructed relative to this directory,
-the resulting path can sometimes be too long to allow valid socket
-paths to be constructed due to length restrictions. Setting this
-variable (to any value) allows socket_wrapper to fall back to the
-original value of SOCKET_WRAPPER_DIR if realpath(3) makes it too long
-to be usable.
-
-EXAMPLE
--------
-
- # Open a console and create a directory for the unix sockets.
- $ mktemp -d
- /tmp/tmp.bQRELqDrhM
-
- # Then start nc to listen for network traffic using the temporary directory.
- $ LD_PRELOAD=libsocket_wrapper.so \
- SOCKET_WRAPPER_DIR=/tmp/tmp.bQRELqDrhM \
- SOCKET_WRAPPER_DEFAULT_IFACE=10 nc -v -l 127.0.0.10 7
-
- # (If nc, listens on 0.0.0.0 then listener will be open on 127.0.0.10 because
- # it is the default interface)
-
- # Now open another console and start 'nc' as a client to connect to the server:
- $ LD_PRELOAD=libsocket_wrapper.so \
- SOCKET_WRAPPER_DIR=/tmp/tmp.bQRELqDrhM \
- SOCKET_WRAPPER_DEFAULT_IFACE=100 nc -v 127.0.0.10 7
-
- # (The client will use the address 127.0.0.100 when connecting to the server)
- # Now you can type 'Hello!' which will be sent to the server and should appear
- # in the console output of the server.
