33 -lcoap-3-gnutls, -lcoap-3-openssl, -lcoap-3-mbedtls or
34 -lcoap-3-tinydtls. Otherwise, link with -lcoap-3 to get the default
35 (D)TLS library support.

38 The coap_register_request_handler() is a server side function that
39 registers a callback handler handler that is called when there is an
40 incoming request PDU and there is a URI match against the resource and
41 there is a method (e.g. PUT, POST etc.) match. method can be one of the
42 following.
43 COAP_REQUEST_GET
45 COAP_REQUEST_POST
46 COAP_REQUEST_PUT
47 COAP_REQUEST_DELETE
48 COAP_REQUEST_FETCH
49 COAP_REQUEST_PATCH
50 COAP_REQUEST_IPATCH
51 The method handler function prototype is defined as:
53 typedef void (*coap_method_handler_t)(coap_resource_t *resource,
55 coap_session_t *session,
56 const coap_pdu_t *incoming_pdu,
57 const coap_string_t *query,
58 coap_pdu_t *response_pdu);
59 In handler, data from incoming_pdu can be abstracted as described in
61 coap_pdu_access(3) for analysis and then updates response_pdu as
62 appropriate as described in coap_pdu_setup(3). response_pdu is already
63 pre-populated with the incoming_pdu's token and the PDU type. If this
64 handler is called as a result of an unsolicited Observe trigger, then
65 the option OBSERVE (and potentially option BLOCK2) are also added in.
66 The response_pdu's response code should always be updated.
67 NOTE: Any data associated with incoming_pdu is no longer be available
69 after exiting this function as incoming_pdu is deleted. In particular
70 incoming_pdu's data must not be used if calling
71 coap_add_data_large_response(). However, it is safe to use the data if
72 coap_add_data() is used to update response_pdu where a copy of the data
73 is taken.
74 NOTE: A request callback handler can be called with a generic resource
76 (i.e. set up using coap_resource_unknown_init2(3)), so
77 coap_resource_get_uri_path(3) can be used to determine the URI in this
78 case.
79 The coap_register_response_handler() is a client side function that
81 registers a request’s response callback handler for traffic associated
82 with the context. The application can use this for handling any
83 response packets, including sending a RST packet if this response was
84 unexpected. If handler is NULL, then the handler is de-registered.
85 The response handler function prototype is defined as:
87 typedef enum coap_response_t {
89 COAP_RESPONSE_FAIL, /* Response not liked - send CoAP RST packet */
90 COAP_RESPONSE_OK /* Response is fine */
91 } coap_response_t;
92 typedef coap_response_t (*coap_response_handler_t)(coap_session_t *session,
94 const coap_pdu_t *sent,
95 const coap_pdu_t *received,
96 const coap_mid_t id);
97 In handler, data from received (and optionally sent if set) can be
99 abstracted as described in coap_pdu_access(3) for analysis.
100 NOTE: sent will only be non NULL when the request PDU is Confirmable
102 and this is an ACK or RST response to the request. In general, matching
103 of Requests and Responses whould be done by generating unique Tokens
104 for each Request and then matching up based on the Token in received
105 Response.
106 NOTE: If the returned value is COAP_RESPONSE_FAIL, then a CoAP RST
108 packet will get sent to the server by libcoap. The returned value of
109 COAP_RESPONSE_OK indicates that all is OK.
110 The coap_register_nack_handler() is a client side function that
112 registers a request’s negative response callback handler for traffic
113 associated with the context. If handler is NULL, then the handler is
114 de-registered.
115 The nack handler function prototype is defined as:
117 typedef void (*coap_nack_handler_t)(coap_session_t *session,
119 const coap_pdu_t *sent,
120 const coap_nack_reason_t reason,
121 const coap_mid_t mid);
122 NACK reason can be one of the following
124 COAP_NACK_TOO_MANY_RETRIES
126 COAP_NACK_NOT_DELIVERABLE
127 COAP_NACK_RST
128 COAP_NACK_TLS_FAILED
129 COAP_NACK_ICMP_ISSUE
130 sent can be NULL. mid can be used for determing which is the
132 transmitting request.
133 The coap_register_ping_handler() function registers a callback handler
135 for tracking receipt of CoAP ping traffic associated with the context.
136 If handler is NULL, then the handler is de-registered. It can be used
137 both client and server side.
138 The ping handler function prototype is defined as:
140 typedef void (*coap_ping_handler_t)(coap_session_t *session,
142 const coap_pdu_t *received,
143 const coap_mid_t mid);
144 The coap_register_pong_handler() function registers a callback handler
146 for tracking receipt of CoAP ping response traffic associated with the
147 context. If handler is NULL, then the handler is de-registered. It can
148 be used both client and server side.
149 The pong handler function prototype is defined as:
151 typedef void (*coap_pong_handler_t)(coap_session_t *session,
153 const coap_pdu_t *received,
154 const coap_mid_t mid);
155 The coap_register_event_handler() function registers a callback handler
157 for tracking network events associated with the context. If handler is
158 NULL, then the handler is de-registered. It can be used both client and
159 server side.
160 The event handler function prototype is defined as:
162 typedef void (*coap_event_handler_t)(coap_session_t *session,
164 const coap_event_t event);
165 Events can be one of the following
