TSAPI Types

Synopsis

#include <ts/ts.h>
#include <ts/remap.h>

Description

The Apache Traffic Server API provides large number of types. Many of them are specific to a particular API function or function group, but others are used more widely. Those are described on this page.

ink_hrtime

INK_MD5

Buffer type sufficient to contain an MD5 hash value.

class INK_MD5

See INK_MD5.

class RecRawStatBlock

A data block intended to contain Traffic Server statistics.

TSAction

TSCacheKey

TSConfig

TSCont

An opaque type that represents a Traffic Server continuation.

TSEventFunc

TSFile

TSHostLookupResult

A type representing the result of a call to TSHostLookup(). Use with TSHostLookupResultAddrGet().

TSHRTime

“High Resolution Time”

A 64 bit time value, measured in nanoseconds.

TSHttpParser

TSHttpSsn

An opaque type that represents a Traffic Server session.

TSHttpTxn

An opaque type that represents a Traffic Server HTTP transaction.

TSIOBuffer

TSIOBufferBlock

TSIOBufferReader

TSIOBufferSizeIndex

TSLifecycleHookID

An enumeration that identifies a life cycle hook.

TSMBuffer

Internally, data for a transaction is stored in one or more header heaps. These are storage local to the transaction, and generally each HTTP header is stored in a separate one. This type is a handle to a header heap, and is provided or required by functions that locate HTTP header related data.

TSMgmtCounter

TSMgmtFloat

The type used internally for a floating point value. This corresponds to the value TS_RECORDDATATYPE_FLOAT for TSRecordDataType.

TSMgmtInt

The type used internally for an integer. This corresponds to the value TS_RECORDDATATYPE_INT for TSRecordDataType.

TSMgmtString

TSMimeParser

TSMLoc

This is a memory location relative to a header heap represented by a TSMBuffer and must always be used in conjunction with that TSMBuffer instance. It identifies a specific object in the TSMBuffer. This indirection is needed so that the TSMBuffer can reallocate space as needed. Therefore a raw address obtained from a TSMLoc should be considered volatile that may become invalid across any API call.

TSMLoc TS_NULL_MLOC

A predefined null valued TSMLoc used to indicate the absence of an TSMLoc.

TSMutex

TSPluginRegistrationInfo

The following struct is used by TSPluginRegister().

It stores registration information about the plugin.

TSRemapInterface

Data passed to a remap plugin via TSRemapInit().

unsigned long size

The size of the structure in bytes, including this member.

unsigned long tsremap_version

The API version of the C API. The lower 16 bits are the minor version, and the upper bits the major version.

TSRemapRequestInfo

Data passed to a remap plugin during the invocation of a remap rule.

TSMBuffer requestBufp

The client request. All of the other TSMLoc values use this as the base buffer.

TSMLoc requestHdrp

The client request.

TSMLoc mapFromUrl

The match URL in the remap rule.

TSMLoc mapToUrl

The target URL in the remap rule.

TSMLoc requestUrl

The current request URL. The remap rule and plugins listed earlier in the remap rule can modify this from the client request URL. Remap plugins are expected to modify this value to perform the remapping of the request. Note this is the same TSMLoc as would be obtained by calling TSHttpTxnClientReqGet().

int redirect

Flag for using the remapped URL as an explicit redirection. This can be set by the remap plugin.

TSSslX509

This type represents the X509 object created from an SSL certificate.

TSTextLogObject

This type represents a custom log file that you create with TSTextLogObjectCreate().

Your plugin writes entries into this log file using TSTextLogObjectWrite().

TSThread

This represents an internal Traffic Server thread, created by the Traffic Server core. It is an opaque type which can be used only to check for equality / inequality, and passed to API functions. An instance that refers to the current thread can be obtained with TSThreadSelf().

TSEventThread

This type represents an event thread. It is an opaque which is used to specify a particular event processing thread in Traffic Server. If plugin code is executing in an event thread (which will be true if called from a hook or a scheduled event) then the current event thread can be obtained via TSEventThreadSelf().

A TSEventThread is also a TSThread and can be passed as an argument to any parameter of type TSThread.

TSThreadFunc

TSUserArgType

An enum for the supported types of user arguments.

TSUuidVersion

A version value for at TSUuid.

TS_UUID_V4

A version 4 UUID. Currently only this value is used.

size_t TS_UUID_STRING_LEN

Length of a UUID string.

TSVConn

A virtual connection. This is the basic mechanism for abstracting I/O operations in Traffic Server.

TSNetVConnection

A subtype of TSVConn that provides additional IP network information and operations.

TSVIO

ModuleVersion

A module version.

type ModuleVersion

A module version.

template<typename T>
class DLL

An anchor for a double linked intrusive list of instance of T.

template<typename T>
class Queue

TSAcceptor

template<typename T>
class LINK

class VersionNumber

A two part version number, defined in include/tscore/I_Version.h.

short int ink_major

Major version number.

short int ink_minor

Minor version number.

TSFetchUrlParams_t

TSFetchSM

TSFetchEvent

TSHttpPriority

The abstract type of the various HTTP priority implementations.

uint8_t priority_type

The reference to the concrete HTTP priority implementation. This will be a value from TSHttpPriorityType

uint8_t data[7]

The space allocated for the concrete priority implementation.

Note that this has to take padding into account. There is a static_assert in InkAPI.cc to verify that TSHttpPriority is at least as large as TSHttp2Priority. As other structures are added that are represented by TSHttpPriority add more static_asserts to verify that TSHttpPriority is as large as it needs to be.

TSHttp2Priority

A structure for HTTP/2 priority. For an explanation of these terms with respect to HTTP/2, see RFC 7540, section 5.3.

uint8_t priority_type

HTTP_PROTOCOL_TYPE_HTTP_2

uint8_t weight

int32_t stream_dependency

The stream dependency. Per spec, see RFC 7540 section 6.2, this is 31 bits. We use a signed 32 bit stucture to store either a valid dependency or -1 if the stream has no dependency.
