DESCRIPTION
The CoAP PDU is of the form
--header--|--optional token--|--optional options--|--optional payload--
The terminology used is taken mainly from "RFC7252 1.2. Terminology".
The PDU must be built in the correct order, from left to right. In particular, the options
need to be added in the correct numerical option order as they are stored in the PDU using
relative numeric offsets from the previous option number.
There are option list functions available where options can be added to a chained list of
options and then the chain list is sorted and then be added to the PDU.
Typically for clients, when creating a request, the PDU needs to be created before filling
it with the appropriate information.
Typically with a server, the response PDU, with the optional token already added in, will
already be created before the response handler is called, and the response PDU will need
to be updated as appropriate starting with the optional options. Note that updating the
response pdu’s code variable will cause the response pdu to get transmitted. If code does
not get updated, and the PDU is of type CONFIRMABLE, then the response PDU is transmitted
as an empty ACK packet. The response pdu is always freed off by the underlying library.
For handling situations where the data to be transmitted does not fit into a single
packet, see coap_block(3).
PDU CREATE AND HEADER FUNCTIONS
Function: coap_new_pdu()
The coap_new_pdu() function returns a newly created PDU of type coap_pdu_t.
The type is one of the following
COAP_MESSAGE_CON Set the _PDU_ to be of type confirmable.
COAP_MESSAGE_NON Set the _PDU_ to be of type non-confirmable.
COAP_MESSAGE_ACK Set the _PDU_ to be of type acknowledge (for internal use).
COAP_MESSAGE_RST Set the _PDU_ to be of type reset.

and session is used to set up other default values.
Function: coap_pdu_init()
The coap_pdu_init() function does the same work as coap_new_pdu() but gives the additional
ability to define the default values for message_id and max_size that coap_new_pdu()
creates.
The message_id must be unique per request (which is not the same as the token), and must
not be reused within EXCHANGE_LIFETIME (usually 247 seconds). To automate this, the
function coap_new_message_id(session) should be called.
At the CoAP protocol level, requests and responses are matched by message_id which is why
it needs to be unique. At the application level, for "separate" responses, the initial
empty ACK response matches the message_id of the request (handled by libcoap) but the
actual response has the same token as the request and this must be used for the match. For
"piggybacked" responses the token must still be used as the valid match for request and
response. and the message_id just happens to match (but unsafe in case the server is
sending back a "separate" response).
The max_size parameter defines the maximum size of a PDU and is usually determined by
calling coap_session_max_pdu_size(session);
Function: coap_new_message_id()
The coap_new_message_id() function returns the next message id to use for sending a new
request message.
NOTE: For reliable messages RFC8323, this will always return 0.
Function: coap_pdu_set_mid()
The coap_pdu_set_mid() function is used to set the message id mid in the PDU pdu.
Function: coap_pdu_set_code()
The coap_pdu_set_code() function is used to set the code code in the PDU pdu.
Function: coap_pdu_set_type()
The coap_pdu_set_type() function is used to set the type of the PDU pdu.
NOTE: A PDU does not need to be created by the server application to send back a response.
The libcoap server logic creates the initial PDU with COAP_EMPTY_CODE, appropriate
message_id, matching token and potentially some other options before calling the
appropriate request handler (See coap_register_request_handler(3)).
PDU TOKEN FUNCTIONS
Function: coap_session_init_token()
The coap_session_init_token() function is used to initialize the starting token of length
for the session.
NOTE: this only takes the first 8 bytes of the token if extended tokens are being used
(RFC8974).
Function: coap_session_new_token()
The coap_session_new_token() function is used to obtain the next available token of length
for the session. Note that the same token must be used for doing an observe cancellation
that was used for doing the observe registration. Otherwise tokens should be unique for
each request/response so that they can be correctly matched.
NOTE: Only a token of up to 8 bytes is returned.
Function: coap_add_token()
The coap_add_token() function adds in the specified token’s data of length length to the
PDU pdu. The maximum (but impractical due to PDU sizes) length of the token is 65804
bytes. If anything more than 8, the remote peer needs to support extended tokens for this
to work. Adding the token must be done before any options or data are added. This function
must only be called once per pdu, and must not be called in the appropriate request
handler as the token has already been added into the skeletal response PDU.
If a token is not added, then the token in the PDU is zero length, but still a valid token
which is used for matching. The exception is an empty ACK packet.
NOTE: The token provided by the client application may not be the same as used internally
by libcoap - for example when doing data transmission where the body of data is spread
over multiple payloads (see coap_block(3)). However, when the data transfers complete, the
application will receive the corrected token in the response PDU.
PDU OPTIONS FUNCTIONS
The following is the current list of options with their numeric value
/*
* The C, U, and N flags indicate the properties
* Critical, Unsafe, and NoCacheKey, respectively.
* If U is set, then N has no meaning as per
* https://rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7252#section-5.10
* and is set to a -.
* Separately, R is for the options that can be repeated
*
* The least significant byte of the option is set as followed
* as per https://rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7252#section-5.4.6
*
* 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
* --+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
* | NoCacheKey| U | C |
* --+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
*
* https://rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8613#section-4 goes on to define E, I and U
* properties Encrypted and Integrity Protected, Integrity Protected Only and
* Unprotected respectively. Integrity Protected Only is not currently used.
*
* An Option is tagged with CUNREIU with any of the letters replaced with _ if
* not set, or - for N if U is set (see above) for aiding understanding of the
* Option.

Function: coap_new_optlist()
The coap_new_optlist() function returns a newly created optlist entry of type
coap_optlist_t*. The number specifies which CoAP option is to be used, and is one of the
COAP_OPTION_* definitions. The length is the length of the data of the option, and data
points to the content of the option.
NOTE: Where possible, the option data needs to be stripped of leading zeros (big endian)
to reduce the amount of data needed in the PDU, as well as in some cases the maximum data
size of an option can be exceeded if not stripped and hence be illegal. This is done by
using coap_encode_var_safe() or coap_encode_var_safe8().
Function: coap_insert_optlist()
The coap_insert_optlist() function adds the optlist entry onto the end of the
optlist_chain. The initial optlist_chain entry needs to be set to NULL before this
function is first called. The coap_delete_optlist() function has to be called to free off
all the optlist_chain entries.
Function: coap_delete_optlist()
The coap_delete_optlist() function deletes and frees off all the optlist entries in the
optlist_chain.
Function: coap_add_optlist_pdu()
The coap_add_optlist_pdu() function sorts all of the entries in optlist_chain into
ascending option numeric order and adds all the entries to the pdu. This function does not
free off the entries in optlist_chain. This function must be called after adding any token
and before adding in the payload data.
Function: coap_add_option()
The coap_add_option() function adds in the specified option of type number with data of
length length to the PDU pdu. It is important that options are added to the pdu with
number either being the same or greater than the previous option number that was added.
NOTE: Where possible, the option data needs to be stripped of leading zeros (big endian)
to reduce the amount of data needed in the PDU, as well as in some cases the maximum data
size of an option can be exceeded if not stripped and hence be illegal. This is done by
using coap_encode_var_safe() or coap_encode_var_safe8().
Function: coap_encode_var_safe()
The coap_encode_var_safe() function encodes value into buffer which has a size of size in
bytes. Normally, the buffer size should be at least the sizeof(int) bytes unless you
definitely know less space is required.
Function: coap_encode_var_safe8()
The coap_encode_var_safe8() function encodes 8 byte value into buffer which has a size of
size in bytes. Normally, the buffer size should be at least 8 bytes unless you definitely
know less space is required.
Function: coap_split_path()
The coap_split_path() function splits up path of length length and places the result in
buffer which has a size of buflen with the nul character separating each path component.
buflen needs to be preset with the size of buffer before the function call, and then
buflen is updated with the actual size of buffer used. The return value indicates the
number of components that individual COAP_OPTION_URI_PATH options need to be created for.
Function: coap_split_query()
The coap_split_query() function splits up query of length length and places the result in
buffer which has a size of buflen with the nul character separating each path component.
buflen needs to be preset with the size of buffer before the function call, and then
buflen is updated with the actual size of buffer used. The return value indicates the
number of components that individual COAP_OPTION_URI_QUERY options need to be created for.
PDU OPTIONS - LIBCOAP HANDLING
Most of the options are under the control of the applications, but the following are
primarily used internally by libcoap.
COAP_OPTION_BLOCK1 and COAP_OPTION_BLOCK2
These Block options are used when a large body needs to be split up into multiple
payloads. Following the introduction of coap_context_set_block_mode(3), libcoap can
internally handle the setting of these options (see coap_block(3)). Applications can
continue to include these options to set hint block size values.
It is recommended that coap_context_set_block_mode(context,
COAP_BLOCK_USE_LIBCOAP|COAP_BLOCK_SINGLE_BODY) is used to reduce the programming
requirements for block handling within the applications.
COAP_OPTION_ECHO
This option can be set by the server application to indicate that the state of the
client’s freshness is confirmed. The libcoap client logic will detect the use of the Echo
option by the server and reflect back the Echo value in the next request without involving
the client application. The opaque option Echo may be seen by the client application.
COAP_OPTION_ETAG
This option is normally set by the server libcoap logic when sending back multiple
payloads so that the (libcoap logic) client can re-assemble the correct body.
COAP_OPTION_HOP_LIMIT
When using proxy logic, the value of the Hop-Limit option is decremented by one for each
proxy hop. If the count decrements to zero, then a 5.08 (Hop Limit Reached) error code is
returned to the sender. The initial count is 16, unless the client application sets its
own limit using the Hop-Limit option.
COAP_OPTION_RTAG
This option is set by the libcoap client logic when transmitting multiple bodies with
multiple payloads so that the (libcoap logic) server can differentiate and re-assemble the
correct body.
COAP_OPTION_SIZE1 and COAP_OPTION_SIZE2
These options are added by the libcoap logic to provide a size (Size1 by libcoap client
logic, Size2 by libcoap server logic) indication to the recipient of the size of the large
body that is to be transferred. See coap_block(3).
COAP_OPTION_OSCORE
This option is used during OSCORE enabled communications. It should not be set by any
application, but is used internally. See coap_oscore(3) for further information on how to
set up OSCORE.
PDU PAYLOAD FUNCTIONS
Function: coap_add_data()
The coap_add_data() function adds in the specified payload data of length length to the
PDU pdu. Adding the payload data must be done after any token or options are added. This
function must only be called once per pdu.
Function: coap_add_data_blocked_response()
The coap_add_data_blocked_response() function adds in the appropriate part of the payload
data of length length to the PDU pdu. It should be used as a direct replacement for
coap_add_data() if it is possible that the data will not fit into a single pdu. It also
adds in the appropriate CoAP options to handle Block-Wise transfer. This function is
usually used for a server’s GET / FETCH response. The request and response are the same
parameters for the registered GET / FETCH resource handler. The media_type is for the
format of the data and maxage defines the lifetime of the response. If set to -1, then the
Max-Age option does not get included. This function must only be called once per pdu. It
is the responsibility of the client to recognize that it has only received a part of the
data and request the next block (with the appropriate Block options) from the server.
Returning the next requested block is handled by this function.
NOTE: This function has been superseded by coap_add_data_large_response(). See
coap_block(3).
PDU TRANSMIT FUNCTIONS
Function: coap_send()
The coap_send() function is used to initiate the transmission of the pdu associated with
the session. The caller must not access or delete pdu after calling coap_send() - even if
there is a return error.
NOTE: For request handlers, returning from the request handler will cause the response PDU
to be transmitted as appropriate and there is no need to call coap_send() to do this.
RETURN VALUES
coap_new_pdu() and coap_pdu_init() return a newly created PDU or NULL if there is a malloc
or parameter failure.
coap_new_optlist() returns a newly created optlist or NULL if there is a malloc failure.
coap_add_token(), coap_insert_optlist(), coap_add_optlist_pdu() and coap_add_data() return
0 on failure, 1 on success.
coap_encode_var_safe() returns either the length of bytes encoded (which can be 0 when
encoding 0) or 0 on failure.
coap_encode_var_safe8() returns either the length of bytes encoded (which can be 0 when
encoding 0) or 0 on failure.
coap_add_option() returns the size of option added, or 0 on failure.
coap_send() returns the CoAP message ID on success or COAP_INVALID_MID on failure.
coap_split_path() and coap_split_query() return the number of components found.
coap_new_message_id() returns the next CoAP message ID to use.
