Output modules are shared object files loaded with `dlopen()` at runtime by | ||
netconsd. Netconsd will look for three functions in your module: | ||
|
||
1) int netconsd_output_init(int worker_thread_count) | ||
2) void netconsd_output_handler(int thread, struct in6_addr *src, struct msgbuf *buf, struct ncrx_msg *msg) | ||
3) void netconsd_output_exit(void) | ||

2. `void netconsd_output_handler(int thread, struct in6_addr *src, struct msgbuf *buf, struct ncrx_msg *msg)` | ||
3. `void netconsd_output_exit(void)` | ||
|
||
If (1) exists, it is called when your module is loaded: the argument tells you | ||
how many worker threads netconsd is going to call your module from. If you | ||
return non-zero from this function, netconsd will abort() and exit. | ||
return non-zero from this function, netconsd will `abort()` and exit. | ||
|
||
If (3) exists, it is called when netconsd unloads your module. | ||
|
||
For every message it receives, netconsd will call (2) in your module. The code | ||
must be reentrant: `netconsd_output_handler()` will be called concurrently from | ||
all of the worker threads in netconsd. The "thread" argument tells you which | ||
all of the worker threads in netconsd. The `thread` argument tells you which | ||
worker is invoking the function, which makes it easy to have per-thread data. | ||
|
||
Netconsd uses a consistent hash to decide which worker to pass messages to, so | ||
messages from same remote address will always be queued to the same thread. | ||
|
||
The "src" argument will always point to an `in6_addr` struct containing the source | ||
The `src` argument will always point to an `in6_addr` struct containing the source | ||
address of the netconsole packet. If the source was an IPv4 address, it will be | ||
formatted like "::FFFF:<IPv4 address>" (see "man ipv6" for details). | ||
formatted like `::FFFF:<IPv4 address>` (see `man ipv6` for details). | ||
|
||
If the message had extended metadata, "msg" will point to the `ncrx_msg` struct | ||
containing that metadata and "buf" will be NULL. Otherwise, "msg" will be NULL | ||
and "buf" will point to a msgbuf struct with the raw message text. | ||
If the message had extended metadata, `msg` will point to the `ncrx_msg` struct | ||
containing that metadata and `buf` will be `NULL`. Otherwise, `msg` will be `NULL` | ||
and `buf` will point to a `msgbuf` struct with the raw message text. | ||
|

Output modules must not modify the structures passed in. The memory backing all | ||
the pointers passed in will be freed immediately after the handler returns. | ||
