4 * Routines for formatting and parsing frontend/backend messages
6 * Outgoing messages are built up in a StringInfo buffer (which is expansible)
7 * and then sent in a single call to pq_putmessage. This module provides data
8 * formatting/conversion routines that are needed to produce valid messages.
9 * Note in particular the distinction between "raw data" and "text"; raw data
10 * is message protocol characters and binary values that are not subject to
11 * character set conversion, while text is converted by character encoding
14 * Incoming messages are similarly read into a StringInfo buffer, via
15 * pq_getmessage, and then parsed and converted from that using the routines
18 * These same routines support reading and writing of external binary formats
19 * (typsend/typreceive routines). The conversion routines for individual
20 * data types are exactly the same, only initialization and completion

33 * Message assembly and output:
34 * pq_beginmessage - initialize StringInfo buffer
35 * pq_sendbyte - append a raw byte to a StringInfo buffer
36 * pq_sendint - append a binary integer to a StringInfo buffer
37 * pq_sendint64 - append a binary 8-byte int to a StringInfo buffer
38 * pq_sendfloat4 - append a float4 to a StringInfo buffer
39 * pq_sendfloat8 - append a float8 to a StringInfo buffer
40 * pq_sendbytes - append raw data to a StringInfo buffer
41 * pq_sendcountedtext - append a counted text string (with character set conversion)
42 * pq_sendtext - append a text string (with conversion)
43 * pq_sendstring - append a null-terminated text string (with conversion)
44 * pq_send_ascii_string - append a null-terminated text string (without conversion)
45 * pq_endmessage - send the completed message to the frontend
46 * Note: it is also possible to append data to the StringInfo buffer using
47 * the regular StringInfo routines, but this is discouraged since required
48 * character set conversion may not occur.
50 * typsend support (construct a bytea value containing external binary data):
51 * pq_begintypsend - initialize StringInfo buffer
52 * pq_endtypsend - return the completed string as a "bytea*"
54 * Special-case message output:
55 * pq_puttextmessage - generate a character set-converted message in one step
56 * pq_putemptymessage - convenience routine for message with empty body
58 * Message parsing after input:
59 * pq_getmsgbyte - get a raw byte from a message buffer
60 * pq_getmsgint - get a binary integer from a message buffer
61 * pq_getmsgint64 - get a binary 8-byte int from a message buffer
62 * pq_getmsgfloat4 - get a float4 from a message buffer
63 * pq_getmsgfloat8 - get a float8 from a message buffer
64 * pq_getmsgbytes - get raw data from a message buffer
65 * pq_copymsgbytes - copy raw data from a message buffer
66 * pq_getmsgtext - get a counted text string (with conversion)
67 * pq_getmsgstring - get a null-terminated text string (with conversion)
68 * pq_getmsgrawstring - get a null-terminated text string - NO conversion
69 * pq_getmsgend - verify message fully consumed

84 * pq_beginmessage - initialize for sending a message
85 * --------------------------------
93 * We stash the message type into the buffer's cursor field, expecting
94 * that the pq_sendXXX routines won't touch it. We could alternatively
95 * make it the first byte of the buffer contents, but this seems easier.
97 buf->cursor = msgtype;

133 * pq_sendcountedtext - append a counted text string (with character set conversion)
135 * The data sent to the frontend by this routine is a 4-byte count field
136 * followed by the string. The count does not include itself, as required by
137 * protocol version 3.0. The passed text string need not be null-terminated,
138 * and the data sent to the frontend isn't either.

162 * pq_sendtext - append a text string (with conversion)
164 * The passed text string need not be null-terminated, and the data sent
165 * to the frontend isn't either. Note that this is not actually useful
166 * for direct frontend transmissions, since there'd be no way for the
167 * frontend to determine the string length. But it is useful for binary
168 * format conversions.

212 * pq_send_ascii_string - append a null-terminated text string (without conversion)
214 * This function intentionally bypasses encoding conversion, instead just
215 * silently replacing any non-7-bit-ASCII characters with question marks.
216 * It is used only when we are having trouble sending an error message to
217 * the client with normal localization and encoding conversion. The caller
218 * should already have taken measures to ensure the string is just ASCII;
219 * the extra work here is just to make certain we don't send a badly encoded
220 * string to the client (which might or might not be robust about that).

241 * pq_sendfloat4 - append a float4 to a StringInfo buffer
243 * The point of this routine is to localize knowledge of the external binary
244 * representation of float4, which is a component of several datatypes.
246 * We currently assume that float4 should be byte-swapped in the same way
247 * as int4. This rule is not perfect but it gives us portability across
248 * most IEEE-float-using architectures.
