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. |
