UDP (User Datagram Protocol) datagram: C++11/STL parsing library

UDP is a simple stateless transport layer (AKA OSI layer 4) protocol, one of the core Internet protocols. It provides source and destination ports, basic checksumming, but provides not guarantees of delivery, order of packets, or duplicate delivery.

This page hosts a formal specification of UDP (User Datagram Protocol) datagram using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.

Usage

Runtime library

All parsing code for C++11/STL generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the C++/STL runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.

For C++, the easiest way is to clone the runtime library sources and build them along with your project.

Code

Using Kaitai Struct in C++/STL usually consists of 3 steps.

We need to create an STL input stream (std::istream). One can open local file for that, or use existing std::string or char* buffer.

#include <fstream>

std::ifstream is("path/to/local/file.bin", std::ifstream::binary);

#include <sstream>

std::istringstream is(str);

#include <sstream>

const char buf[] = { ... };
std::string str(buf, sizeof buf);
std::istringstream is(str);

We need to wrap our input stream into Kaitai stream:

#include "kaitai/kaitaistream.h"

kaitai::kstream ks(&is);

And finally, we can invoke the parsing:
```
udp_datagram_t data(&ks);
```

After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:

data.src_port() // => get src port
