+
+/**
+ * @mainpage Welcome to PJLIB!
+ *
+ * @section intro_sec What is PJLIB
+ *
+ * PJLIB is an Open Source, small footprint framework library written in C for
+ * making scalable applications. Because of its small footprint, it can be used
+ * in embedded applications (we hope so!), but yet the library is also aimed for
+ * facilitating the creation of high performance protocol stacks.
+ *
+ * PJLIB is released under GPL terms.
+ *
+ * @section download_sec Download
+ *
+ * PJLIB and all documentation can be downloaded from
+ * http://www.pjsip.org.
+ *
+ *
+ * @section how_to_use_sec About This Documentation
+ *
+ * This document is generated directly from PJLIB source file using
+ * \a doxygen (http://www.doxygen.org). Doxygen is a great (and free!)
+ * tools for generating such documentation.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection find_samples_subsec How to Read This Document
+ *
+ * This documentation is laid out more to be a reference guide instead
+ * of tutorial, therefore first time users may find it difficult to
+ * grasp PJLIB by reading this document alone.
+ *
+ * However, we've tried our best to make this document easy to follow.
+ * For first time users, we would suggest that you follow these steps
+ * when reading this documentation:
+ *
+ * - continue reading this introduction chapter. At the end of this
+ * chapter, you'll find section called \ref pjlib_fundamentals_sec
+ * which should guide you to understand basic things about PJLIB.
+ *
+ * - find information about specific features that you want to use
+ * in PJLIB. Use the <b>Module Index</b> to find out about all
+ * features in PJLIB (if you're browsing the HTML documentation,
+ * click on the \a Module link on top of the page, or if you're
+ * reading the PDF documentation, click on \a Module \a Documentation
+ * on the navigation pane on the left).
+ *
+ * @subsection doc_organize_sec How To's

+ *
+ *
+ * @section features_sec Features
+ *
+ * @subsection open_source_feat It's Open Source!
+ *
+ * PJLIB is currently released on GPL license, but other arrangements
+ * can be made with the author.
+ *
+ * @subsection extreme_portable_feat Extreme Portability
+ *
+ * PJLIB is designed to be extremely portable. It can run on any kind
+ * of processors (16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit, big or little endian, single
+ * or multi-processors) and operating systems. Floating point or no
+ * floating point. Multi-threading or not.
+ * It can even run in environment where no ANSI LIBC is available.
+ *
+ * Currently PJLIB is known to run on these platforms:
+ * - Win32/x86 (Win95/98/ME, NT/2000/XP/2003, mingw).
+ * - arm, WinCE and Windows Mobile.
+ * - Linux/x86, (user mode and as <b>kernel module</b>(!)).
+ * - Linux/alpha
+ * - Solaris/ultra.
+ * - MacOS X/powerpc
+ * - RTEMS (x86 and powerpc).
+ *
+ * And efforts is under way to port PJLIB on:
+ * - Symbian OS
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection small_size_feat Small in Size
+ *
+ * One of the primary objectives is to have library that is small in size for
+ * typical embedded applications. As a rough guidance, we aim to keep the
+ * library size below 100KB for it to be considered as small.
+ * As the result, most of the functionalities in the library can be tailored
+ * to meet the requirements; user can enable/disable specific functionalities
+ * to get the desired size/performance/functionality balance.
+ *
+ * For more info, please see @ref pj_config.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection big_perform_feat Big in Performance
+ *
+ * Almost everything in PJLIB is designed to achieve the highest possible
+ * performance out of the target platform.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection no_dyn_mem No Dynamic Memory Allocations
+ *
+ * The central idea of PJLIB is that for applications to run as fast as it can,
+ * it should not use \a malloc() at all, but instead should get the memory
+ * from a preallocated storage pool. There are few things that can be
+ * optimized with this approach:
+ *
+ * - \a alloc() is a O(1) operation.
+ * - no mutex is used inside alloc(). It is assumed that synchronization
+ * will be used in higher abstraction by application anyway.
+ * - no \a free() is required. All chunks will be deleted when the pool is
+ * destroyed.
+ *
+ * The performance gained on some systems can be as high as 30x speed up
+ * against \a malloc() and \a free() on certain configurations, but of
+ * course your mileage may vary.
+ *
+ * For more information, see \ref PJ_POOL_GROUP
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection os_abstract_feat Operating System Abstraction
+ *
+ * PJLIB has abstractions for features that are normally not portable
+ * across operating systems:
+ * - @ref PJ_THREAD
+ *\n
+ * Portable thread manipulation.
+ * - @ref PJ_TLS
+ *\n
+ * Storing data in thread's private data.
+ * - @ref PJ_MUTEX
+ *\n
+ * Mutual exclusion protection.
+ * - @ref PJ_SEM
+ *\n
+ * Semaphores.
+ * - @ref PJ_ATOMIC
+ *\n
+ * Atomic variables and their operations.
+ * - @ref PJ_CRIT_SEC
+ *\n
+ * Fast locking of critical sections.
+ * - @ref PJ_LOCK
+ *\n
+ * High level abstraction for lock objects.
+ * - @ref PJ_EVENT
+ *\n
+ * Event object.
+ * - @ref PJ_TIME
+ *\n
+ * Portable time manipulation.
+ * - @ref PJ_TIMESTAMP
+ *\n
+ * High resolution time value.
+ * - etc.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection ll_network_io_sec Low-Level Network I/O
+ *
+ * PJLIB has very portable abstraction and fairly complete set of API for
+ * doing network I/O communications. At the lowest level, PJLIB provides:
+ *
+ * - @ref PJ_SOCK
+ *\n
+ * A highly portable socket abstraction, runs on all kind of
+ * network APIs such as standard BSD socket, Windows socket, Linux
+ * \b kernel socket, PalmOS networking API, etc.
+ *
+ * - @ref pj_addr_resolve
+ *\n
+ * Portable address resolution, which implements #pj_gethostbyname().
+ *
+ * - @ref PJ_SOCK_SELECT
+ *\n
+ * A portable \a select() like API (#pj_sock_select()) which can be
+ * implemented with various back-end.
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection timer_mgmt_sec Timer Management
+ *
+ * A passive framework for managing timer, see @ref PJ_TIMER for more info.
+ * There is also function to retrieve high resolution timestamp
+ * from the system (see @ref PJ_TIMESTAMP).
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection data_struct_sec Various Data Structures
+ *
+ * Various data structures are provided in the library:
+ *
+ * - @ref PJ_PSTR
+ * - @ref PJ_ARRAY
+ * - @ref PJ_HASH
+ * - @ref PJ_LIST
+ * - @ref PJ_RBTREE
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection exception_sec Exception Construct
+ *
+ * A convenient TRY/CATCH like construct to propagate errors, which by
+ * default are used by the @ref PJ_POOL_GROUP "memory pool" and
+ * the lexical scanner in pjlib-util. The exception
+ * construct can be used to write programs like below:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * #define SYNTAX_ERROR 1
+ *
+ * PJ_TRY {
+ * msg = NULL;
+ * msg = parse_msg(buf, len);
+ * }
+ * PJ_CATCH ( SYNTAX_ERROR ) {
+ * .. handle error ..
+ * }
+ * PJ_END;
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * Please see @ref PJ_EXCEPT for more information.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection logging_sec Logging Facility
+ *
+ * PJLIB @ref PJ_LOG consists of macros to write logging information to
+ * some output device. Some of the features of the logging facility:
+ *
+ * - the verbosity can be fine-tuned both at compile time (to control
+ * the library size) or run-time (to control the verbosity of the
+ * information).
+ * - output device is configurable (e.g. stdout, printk, file, etc.)
+ * - log decoration is configurable.
+ *
+ * See @ref PJ_LOG for more information.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection guid_gen_sec Random and GUID Generation
+ *
+ * PJLIB provides facility to create random string
+ * (#pj_create_random_string()) or globally unique identifier
+ * (see @ref PJ_GUID).
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * @section configure_app_sec Configuring Application to use PJLIB
+ *
+ * @subsection pjlib_compil_sec Building PJLIB
+ *
+ * Follow the instructions in \ref pjlib_build_sys_pg to build
+ * PJLIB.
+ *
+ * @subsection pjlib_compil_app_sec Building Applications with PJLIB
+ *
+ * Use the following settings when building applications with PJLIB.
+ *
+ * @subsubsection compil_inc_dir_sec Include Search Path
+ *
+ * Add this to your include search path ($PJLIB is PJLIB root directory):
+ * <pre>
+ * $PJLIB/include
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * @subsubsection compil_inc_file_sec Include PJLIB Header
+ *
+ * To include all PJLIB headers:
+ * \verbatim
+ #include <pjlib.h>
+ \endverbatim
+ *
+ * Alternatively, you can include individual PJLIB headers like this:
+ * \verbatim
+ #include <pj/log.h>
+ #include <pj/os.h>
+ \endverbatim
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsubsection compil_lib_dir_sec Library Path
+ *
+ * Add this to your library search path:
+ * <pre>
+ * $PJLIB/lib
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * Then add the appropriate PJLIB library to your link specification. For
+ * example, you would add \c libpj-i386-linux-gcc.a when you're building
+ * applications in Linux.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection pjlib_fundamentals_sec Principles in Using PJLIB
+ *
+ * Few things that you \b MUST do when using PJLIB, to make sure that
+ * you create trully portable applications.
+ *
+ * @subsubsection call_pjlib_init_sec Call pj_init()
+ *
+ * Before you do anything else, call \c pj_init(). This would make sure that
+ * PJLIB system is properly set up.
+ *
+ * @subsubsection no_ansi_subsec Do NOT Use ANSI C
+ *
+ * Contrary to popular teaching, ANSI C (and LIBC) is not the most portable
+ * library in the world, nor it's the most ubiquitous. For example, LIBC
+ * is not available in Linux kernel. Also normally LIBC will be excluded
+ * from compilation of RTOSes to reduce size.
+ *
+ * So for maximum portability, do NOT use ANSI C. Do not even try to include
+ * any other header files outside <include/pj>. Stick with the functionalities
+ * provided by PJLIB.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsubsection string_rep_subsubsec Use pj_str_t instead of C Strings
+ *
+ * PJLIB uses pj_str_t instead of normal C strings. You SHOULD follow this
+ * convention too. Remember, ANSI string-h is not always available. And
+ * PJLIB string is faster!
+ *
+ * @subsubsection mem_alloc_subsubsec Use Pool for Memory Allocations
+ *
+ * You MUST NOT use \a malloc() or any other memory allocation functions.
+ * Use PJLIB @ref PJ_POOL_GROUP instead! It's faster and most portable.
+ *
+ * @subsection logging_subsubsec Use Logging for Text Display
+ *
+ * DO NOT use <stdio.h> for text output. Use PJLIB @ref PJ_LOG instead.
+ *
+ *
+ * @section porting_pjlib_sec0 Porting PJLIB
+ *
+ * Please see \ref porting_pjlib_pg page on more information to port
+ * PJLIB to new target.
+ *
+ * @section enjoy_sec Enjoy Using PJLIB!
+ *
+ * We hope that you find PJLIB usefull for your application. If you
+ * have any questions, suggestions, critics, bug fixes, or anything
+ * else, we would be happy to hear it.
+ *
+ * Enjoy using PJLIB!

+ CODING CONVENTION
+ */
+
+/**
+ * @page pjlib_coding_convention_page Coding Convention
+ *
+ * Before you submit your code/patches to be included with PJLIB, you must
+ * make sure that your code is compliant with PJLIB coding convention.
+ * <b>This is very important!</b> Otherwise we would not accept your code.
+ *
+ * @section coding_conv_editor_sec Editor Settings
+ *
+ * The single most important thing in the whole coding convention is editor
+ * settings. It's more important than the correctness of your code (bugs will
+ * only crash the system, but incorrect tab size is mental!).
+ *
+ * Kindly set your editor as follows:
+ * - tab size to \b 8.
+ * - indentation to \b 4.
+ *
+ * With \c vi, you can do it with:
+ * <pre>
+ * :se ts=8
+ * :se sts=4
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * You should replace tab with eight spaces.
+ *
+ * @section coding_conv_detail_sec Coding Style
+ *
+ * Coding style MUST strictly follow K&R style. The rest of coding style
+ * must follow current style. You SHOULD be able to observe the style
+ * currently used by PJLIB from PJLIB sources, and apply the style to your
+ * code. If you're not able to do simple thing like to observe PJLIB
+ * coding style from the sources, then logic dictates that your ability to
+ * observe more difficult area in PJLIB such as memory allocation strategy,
+ * concurrency, etc is questionable.
+ *
+ * @section coding_conv_comment_sec Commenting Your Code
+ *
+ * Public API (e.g. in header files) MUST have doxygen compliant comments.

+
+/**
+ * @page pjlib_build_sys_pg Building, and Installing PJLIB
+ *
+ * @section build_sys_install_sec Build and Installation
+ *
+ * \note
+ * <b>The most up-to-date information on building and installing PJLIB
+ * should be found in the website, under "Getting Started" document.
+ * More over, the new PJLIB build system is now based on autoconf,
+ * so some of the information here might not be relevant anymore
+ * (although most still are, since the autoconf script still use
+ * the old Makefile system as the backend).</b>
+ *
+ * @subsection build_sys_install_win32_sec Visual Studio
+ *
+ * The PJLIB Visual Studio workspace supports the building of PJLIB
+ * for Win32 target. Although currently only the Visual Studio 6 Workspace is
+ * actively maintained, developers with later version of Visual Studio
+ * can easily imports VS6 workspace into their IDE.
+ *
+ * To start building PJLIB projects with Visual Studio 6 or later, open
+ * the \a workspace file in the corresponding \b \c build directory. You have
+ * several choices on which \a dsw file to open:
+ \verbatim
+ $PJPROJECT/pjlib/build/pjlib.dsw
+ $PJPROJECT/pjsip/build/pjsip.dsw
+ ..etc
+ \endverbatim
+ *
+ * The easiest way is to open <tt>pjsip_apps.dsw</tt> file in \b \c $PJPROJECT/pjsip-apps/build
+ * directory, and build pjsua project or the samples project.
+ * However this will not build the complete projects.
+ * For example, the PJLIB test is not included in this workspace.
+ * To build the complete projects, you must
+ * open and build each \a dsw file in \c build directory in each
+ * subprojects. For example, to open the complete PJLIB workspace, open
+ * <tt>pjlib.dsw</tt> in <tt>$PJPROJECT/pjlib/build</tt> directory.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsubsection config_site_create_vc_sec Create config_site.h
+ *
+ * The file <tt><b>$PJPROJECT/pjlib/include/pj/config_site.h</b></tt>
+ * is supposed to contain configuration that is specific to your site/target.
+ * This file is not part of PJLIB, so you must create it yourself. Normally
+ * you just need to create a blank file.
+ *
+ * The reason why it's not included in PJLIB is so that you would not accidently
+ * overwrite your site configuration.
+ *
+ * If you fail to do this, Visual C will complain with error like:
+ *
+ * <b>"fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pj/config_site.h': No such file
+ * or directory"</b>.
+ *
+ * @subsubsection build_vc_subsubsec Build the Projects
+ *
+ * Just hit the build button!
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection build_sys_install_unix_sec Make System
+ *
+ * For other targets, PJLIB provides a rather comprehensive build system
+ * that uses GNU \a make (and only GNU \a make will work).
+ * Currently, the build system supports building * PJLIB for these targets:
+ * - i386/Win32/mingw
+ * - i386/Linux
+ * - i386/Linux (kernel)
+ * - alpha/linux
+ * - sparc/SunOS
+ * - etc..
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsubsection build_req_sec Requirements
+ *
+ * In order to use the \c make based build system, you MUST have:
+ *
+ * - <b>GNU make</b>
+ *\n
+ * The Makefiles heavily utilize GNU make commands which most likely
+ * are not available in other \c make system.
+ * - <b>bash</b> shell is recommended.
+ *\n
+ * Specificly, there is a command <tt>"echo -n"</tt> which may not work
+ * in other shells. This command is used when generating dependencies
+ * (<tt>make dep</tt>) and it's located in
+ * <tt>$PJPROJECT/build/rules.mak</tt>.
+ * - <b>ar</b>, <b>ranlib</b> from GNU binutils
+ *\n
+ * In your system has different <tt>ar</tt> or <tt>ranlib</tt> (e.g. they
+ * may have been installed as <tt>gar</tt> and <tt>granlib</tt>), then
+ * either you create the relevant symbolic links, <b>or</b> modify
+ * <tt>$PJPROJECT/build/cc-gcc.mak</tt> and rename <tt>ar</tt> and
+ * <tt>ranlib</tt> to the appropriate names.
+ * - <b>gcc</b> to generate dependency.
+ *\n
+ * Currently the build system uses <tt>"gcc -MM"</tt> to generate build
+ * dependencies. If <tt>gcc</tt> is not desired to generate dependency,
+ * then either you don't run <tt>make dep</tt>, <b>or</b> edit
+ * <tt>$PJPROJECT/build/rules.mak</tt> to calculate dependency using
+ * your prefered method. (And let me know when you do so so that I can
+ * update the file. :) )
+ *
+ * @subsubsection build_overview_sec Building the Project
+ *
+ * Generally, steps required to build the PJLIB are:
+ *
+ \verbatim
+ $ cd /home/user/pjproject
+ $ ./configure
+ $ touch pjlib/include/pj/config_site.h
+ $ make dep
+ $ make
+ \endverbatim
+ *
+ * The above process will build all static libraries and all applications.
+ *
+ * \note the <tt>configure</tt> script is not a proper autoconf script,
+ * but rather a simple shell script to detect current host. This script
+ * currently does not support cross-compilation.
+ *
+ * \note For Linux kernel target, there are additional steps required, which
+ * will be explained in section \ref linux_kern_target_subsec.
+ *
+ * @subsubsection build_mak_sec Cross Compilation
+ *
+ * For cross compilation, you will need to edit the \c build.mak file in
+ * \c $PJPROJECT root directory manually. Please see <b>README-configure</b> file
+ * in the root directory for more information.
+ *
+ * For Linux kernel target, you are also required to declare the following
+ * variables in this file:
+ * - \c KERNEL_DIR: full path of kernel source tree.
+ * - \c KERNEL_ARCH: kernel ARCH options (e.g. "ARCH=um"), or leave blank
+ * for default.
+ * - \c PJPROJECT_DIR: full path of PJPROJECT source tree.
+ *
+ * Apart from these, there are also additional steps required to build
+ * Linux kernel target, which will be explained in \ref linux_kern_target_subsec.
+ *
+ * @subsubsection build_dir_sec Files in "build" Directory
+ *
+ * The <tt>*.mak</tt> files in \c $PJPROJECT/build directory are used to specify
+ * the configuration for the specified compiler, target machine target
+ * operating system, and host options. These files will be executed
+ * (included) by \a make during building process, depending on the values
+ * specified in <b>$PJPROJECT/build.mak</b> file.
+ *
+ * Normally you don't need to edit these files, except when you're porting
+ * PJLIB to new target.
+ *
+ * Below are the description of some files in this directory:
+ *
+ * - <tt>rules.mak</tt>: contains generic rules always included during make.
+ * - <tt>cc-gcc.mak</tt>: rules when gcc is used for compiler.
+ * - <tt>cc-vc.mak</tt>: rules when MSVC compiler is used.
+ * - <tt>host-mingw.mak</tt>: rules for building in mingw host.
+ * - <tt>host-unix.mak</tt>: rules for building in Unix/Posix host.
+ * - <tt>host-win32.mak</tt>: rules for building in Win32 command console
+ * (only valid when VC is used).
+ * - <tt>m-i386.mak</tt>: rules when target machine is an i386 processor.
+ * - <tt>m-m68k.mak</tt>: rules when target machine is an m68k processor.
+ * - <tt>os-linux.mak</tt>: rules when target OS is Linux.
+ * - <tt>os-linux-kernel.mak</tt>: rules when PJLIB is to be build as
+ * part of Linux kernel.
+ * - <tt>os-win32.mak</tt>: rules when target OS is Win32.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsubsection config_site_create_sec Create config_site.h
+ *
+ * The file <tt><b>$PJPROJECT/pjlib/include/pj/config_site.h</b></tt>
+ * is supposed to contain configuration that is specific to your site/target.
+ * This file is not part of PJLIB, so you must create it yourself.
+ *
+ * The reason why it's not included in PJLIB is so that you would not accidently
+ * overwrite your site configuration.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsubsection invoking_make_sec Invoking make
+ *
+ * Normally, \a make is invoked in \c build directory under each project.
+ * For example, to build PJLIB, you would invoke \a make in
+ * \c $PJPROJECT/pjlib/build directory like below:
+ *
+ \verbatim
+ $ cd pjlib/build
+ $ make
+ \endverbatim
+ *
+ * Alternatively you may invoke <tt>make</tt> in <tt>$PJPROJECT</tt>
+ * directory, to build all projects under that directory (e.g.
+ * PJLIB, PJSIP, etc.).
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsubsection linux_kern_target_subsec Linux Kernel Target
+ *
+ * \note
+ * <b>BUILDING APPLICATIONS IN LINUX KERNEL MODE IS A VERY DANGEROUS BUSINESS.
+ * YOU MAY CRASH THE WHOLE OF YOUR SYSTEM, CORRUPT YOUR HARDISK, ETC. PJLIB
+ * KERNEL MODULES ARE STILL IN EXPERIMENTAL PHASE. DO NOT RUN IT IN PRODUCTION
+ * SYSTEMS OR OTHER SYSTEMS WHERE RISK OF LOSS OF DATA IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
+ * YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.</b>
+ *
+ * \note
+ * <b>User Mode Linux (UML)</b> provides excellent way to experiment with Linux
+ * kernel without risking the stability of the host system. See
+ * http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net for details.
+ *
+ * \note
+ * I only use <b>UML</b> to experiment with PJLIB kernel modules.
+ * <b>I wouldn't be so foolish to use my host Linux machine to experiment
+ * with this.</b>
+ *
+ * \note
+ * You have been warned.
+ *
+ * For building PJLIB for Linux kernel target, there are additional steps required.
+ * In general, the additional tasks are:
+ * - Declare some more variables in <b><tt>build.mak</tt></b> file (this
+ * has been explained in \ref build_mak_sec above).
+ * - Perform these two small modifications in kernel source tree.
+ *
+ * There are two small modification need to be applied to the kernel tree.
+ *
+ * <b>1. Edit <tt>Makefile</tt> in kernel root source tree.</b>
+ *
+ * Add the following lines at the end of the <tt>Makefile</tt> in your
+ * <tt>$KERNEL_SRC</tt> dir:
+ \verbatim
+script:
+ $(SCRIPT)
+ \endverbatim
+ *

+ *
+ * <b>2. Add Additional Exports.</b>
+ *
+ * We need the kernel to export some more symbols for our use. So we declare
+ * the additional symbols to be exported in <tt>extra-exports.c</tt> file, and add
+ * a this file to be compiled into the kernel:
+ *
+ * - Copy the file <tt>extra-exports.c</tt> from <tt>pjlib/src/pj</tt>
+ * directory to <tt>$KERNEL_SRC/kernel/</tt> directory.
+ * - Edit <tt>Makefile</tt> in that directory, and add this line
+ * somewhere after the declaration of that variable:
+ \verbatim
+obj-y += extra-exports.o
+ \endverbatim
+ *
+ * To illustrate what have been done in your kernel source tree, below
+ * is screenshot of my kernel source tree _after_ the modification.

+ *
+ * \note
+ * <b>Since version 0.5.8, PJLIB build system is now based on autoconf, so
+ * most of the time we shouldn't need to apply the tweakings below to get
+ * PJLIB working on a new platform. However, since the autoconf build system
+ * still uses the old Makefile build system, the information below may still
+ * be useful for reference.
+ * </b>
+ *
+ * @section new_arch_sec Porting to New CPU Architecture
+ *
+ * Below is step-by-step guide to add support for new CPU architecture.
+ * This sample is based on porting to Alpha architecture; however steps for
+ * porting to other CPU architectures should be pretty similar.
+ *
+ * Also note that in this example, the operating system used is <b>Linux</b>.
+ * Should you wish to add support for new operating system, then follow
+ * the next section \ref porting_os_sec.
+ *
+ * Step-by-step guide to port to new CPU architecture:
+ * - decide the name for the new architecture. In this case, we choose
+ * <tt><b>alpha</b></tt>.
+ * - edit file <tt>$PJPROJECT/build.mak</tt>, and add new section for
+ * the new target:
+ * <pre>
+ * #
+ * # Linux alpha, gcc
+ * #
+ * export MACHINE_NAME := <b>alpha</b>
+ * export OS_NAME := linux
+ * export CC_NAME := gcc
+ * export HOST_NAME := unix
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * - create a new file <tt>$PJPROJECT/build/<b>m-alpha</b>.mak</tt>.
+ * Alternatively create a copy from other file in this directory.
+ * The contents of this file will look something like:
+ * <pre>
+ * export M_CFLAGS := $(CC_DEF)<b>PJ_M_ALPHA=1</b>
+ * export M_CXXFLAGS :=
+ * export M_LDFLAGS :=
+ * export M_SOURCES :=
+ * </pre>
+ * - create a new file <tt>$PJPROJECT/pjlib/include/pj/compat/<b>m_alpha.h</b></tt>.
+ * Alternatively create a copy from other header file in this directory.
+ * The contents of this file will look something like:
+ * <pre>
+ * #define PJ_HAS_PENTIUM 0
+ * #define PJ_IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 1
+ * #define PJ_IS_BIG_ENDIAN 0
+ * </pre>
+ * - edit <tt>pjlib/include/pj/<b>config.h</b></tt>. Add new processor
+ * configuration in this header file, like follows:
+ * <pre>
+ * ...
+ * #elif defined (PJ_M_ALPHA) && PJ_M_ALPHA != 0
+ * # include <pj/compat/m_alpha.h>
+ * ...
+ * </pre>
+ * - done. Build PJLIB with:
+ * <pre>
+ * $ cd $PJPROJECT/pjlib/build
+ * $ make dep
+ * $ make clean
+ * $ make
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * @section porting_os_sec Porting to New Operating System Target
+ *
+ * This section will try to give you rough guideline on how to
+ * port PJLIB to a new target. As a sample, we give the target a name tag,
+ * for example <tt><b>xos</b></tt> (for X OS).
+ *
+ * @subsection new_compat_os_h_file_sec Create New Compat Header File
+ *
+ * You'll need to create a new header file
+ * <b><tt>include/pj/compat/os_xos.h</tt></b>. You can copy as a
+ * template other header file and edit it accordingly.
+ *
+ * @subsection modify_config_h_file_sec Modify config.h
+ *
+ * Then modify file <b><tt>include/pj/config.h</tt></b> to include
+ * this file accordingly (e.g. when macro <tt><b>PJ_XOS</b></tt> is
+ * defined):
+ *
+ \verbatim
+ ...
+ #elif defined(PJ_XOS)
+ # include <pj/compat/os_xos.h>
+ #else
+ #...
+ \endverbatim
+ *
+ * @subsection new_target_mak_file_sec Create New Global Make Config File
+ *
+ * Then you'll need to create global configuration file that
+ * is specific for this OS, i.e. <tt><b>os-xos.mak</b></tt> in
+ * <tt><b>$PJPROJECT/build</b></tt> directory.
+ *
+ * At very minimum, the file will normally need to define
+ * <tt><b>PJ_XOS=1</b></tt> in the \c CFLAGS section:
+ *
+ \verbatim
+#
+# $PJPROJECT/build/os-xos.mak:
+#
+export OS_CFLAGS := $(CC_DEF)PJ_XOS=1
+export OS_CXXFLAGS :=
+export OS_LDFLAGS :=
+export OS_SOURCES :=
+ \endverbatim
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection new_target_prj_mak_file_sec Create New Project's Make Config File
+ *
+ * Then you'll need to create xos-specific configuration file
+ * for PJLIB. This file is also named <tt><b>os-xos.mak</b></tt>,
+ * but its located in <tt><b>pjlib/build</b></tt> directory.
+ * This file will specify source files that are specific to
+ * this OS to be included in the build process.
+ *
+ * Below is a sample:
+ \verbatim
+#
+# pjlib/build/os-xos.mak:
+# XOS specific configuration for PJLIB.
+#
+export PJLIB_OBJS += os_core_xos.o \
+ os_error_unix.o \
+ os_time_ansi.o
+export TEST_OBJS += main.o
+export TARGETS = pjlib pjlib-test
+ \endverbatim
+ *
+ * @subsection new_target_src_sec Create and Edit Source Files
+ *
+ * You'll normally need to create at least these files:
+ * - <tt><b>os_core_xos.c</b></tt>: core OS specific
+ * functionality.
+ * - <tt><b>os_timestamp_xos.c</b></tt>: how to get timestamp
+ * in this OS.
+ *
+ * Depending on how things are done in your OS, you may need
+ * to create these files:
+ * - <tt><b>os_error_*.c</b></tt>: how to manipulate
+ * OS error codes. Alternatively you may use existing
+ * <tt>os_error_unix.c</tt> if the OS has \c errno and
+ * \c strerror() function.
+ * - <tt><b>ioqueue_*.c</b></tt>: if the OS has specific method
+ * to perform asynchronous I/O. Alternatively you may
+ * use existing <tt>ioqueue_select.c</tt> if the OS supports
+ * \c select() function call.
+ * - <tt><b>sock_*.c</b></tt>: if the OS has specific method
+ * to perform socket communication. Alternatively you may
+ * use existing <tt>sock_bsd.c</tt> if the OS supports
+ * BSD socket API, and edit <tt>include/pj/compat/socket.h</tt>
+ * file accordingly.
+ *
+ * You will also need to check various files in
+ * <tt><b>include/pj/compat/*.h</b></tt>, to see if they're
+ * compatible with your OS.
+ *
+ * @subsection new_target_build_file_sec Build The Project
+ *
+ * After basic building blocks have been created for the OS, then
+ * the easiest way to see which parts need to be fixed is by building
+ * the project and see the error messages.
+ *
+ * @subsection new_target_edit_vs_new_file_sec Editing Existing Files vs Creating New File
+ *
+ * When you encounter compatibility errors in PJLIB during porting,
+ * you have three options on how to fix the error:
+ * - edit the existing <tt>*.c</tt> file, and give it <tt>#ifdef</tt>
+ * switch for the new OS, or
+ * - edit <tt>include/pj/compat/*.h</tt> instead, or
+ * - create a totally new file.
+ *
+ * Basicly there is no strict rule on which approach is the best
+ * to use, however the following guidelines may be used:
+ * - if the file is expected to be completely different than
+ * any existing file, then perhaps you should create a completely
+ * new file. For example, file <tt>os_core_xxx.c</tt> will
+ * normally be different for each OS flavour.
+ * - if the difference can be localized in <tt>include/compat</tt>
+ * header file, and existing <tt>#ifdef</tt> switch is there,
+ * then preferably you should edit this <tt>include/compat</tt>
+ * header file.
+ * - if the existing <tt>*.c</tt> file has <tt>#ifdef</tt> switch,
+ * then you may add another <tt>#elif</tt> switch there. This
+ * normally is used for behaviors that are not totally
+ * different on each platform.
+ * - other than that above, use your own judgement on whether
+ * to edit the file or create new file etc.
