Generate a JOIN command. The seq parameter, if 0, means we want to request to join to a server. Wether this is a real server or a physical client acting as a server is out of consideration, 0 means request to join, period. If greater than 0, means we are accepting a client, and then the value is our current seq, which the client must use to calibrate its own data. The serial number is here to avoid querying messages before the join and keep the serie complete.

msg: message to encode

limit: if under this limit (length in bytes), do not encode, return as is

Z-encode a message, by "Z-encoding" we mean pass the string through 1) zlib then 2) base64 encoding, this way we get a string without any blank and/or special character, and of reasonnable length. There’s an optional limit *not* to encode anything, just when we know there are no special characters to escape and string is small, it’s useless to fire this big artillery.

Return value: newly allocated string, 0 terminated, NULL on error.

Function: char * lw6msg_z_decode (lw6sys_context_t * sys_context, const char * msg)

sys_context: global system context

msg: message to decode

Z-decode a message, by "Z-encoding" we mean pass the string through 1) zlib then 2) base64 encoding, this way we get a string without any blank and/or special character, and of reasonnable length. This decode string does it the reverse way, un64-encode the string then uncompress it back to a readable string.

Return value: newly allocated string, 0 terminated, NULL on error.

Struct: lw6msg_word_s

This structure is used to retrieve words from messages. We use a structure here with a fixed sized buffer and a len member, this is to avoid mallocating too often when parsing.

Member of lw6msg_word_s: len

Type: int

Definition: int lw6msg_word_s::len

Length of word, in bytes.

Member of lw6msg_word_s: buf

Type: char

Definition: char lw6msg_word_s::buf[LW6MSG_MAX_WORD_SIZE+1]

Word data, containing a 0 char at the end, so it is safe to call standard C string functions on it.
