## Introduction
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Mongoose is a networking library for C/C++. It implements event-driven,
non-blocking APIs for TCP, UDP, HTTP, WebSocket, MQTT. It connects devices
2021-11-16 20:30:40 +08:00
and brings them online. Since 2004, a number of open source and commercial
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
products have utilized it. It even runs on the
2021-03-11 21:01:45 +08:00
International Space Station! Mongoose makes embedded network programming fast,
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
robust, and easy.
2021-08-28 15:52:41 +08:00
Mongoose has two basic data structures:
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `struct mg_mgr` - An event manager that holds all active connections
- `struct mg_connection` - A single connection descriptor
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Connections could be listening, outbound, or inbound. Outbound
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
connections are created by the `mg_connect()` call. Listening connections are
created by the `mg_listen()` call. Inbound connections are those accepted by a
listening connection. Each connection is described by a `struct mg_connection`
structure, which has a number of fields. All fields are exposed to the
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
application by design, to give an application full visibility into
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
Mongoose's internals.

## 2-minute integration guide
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-11-16 20:30:40 +08:00
In order to integrate Mongoose into an existing C/C++ application or firmware,
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
please use the following steps:
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-09-17 22:59:15 +08:00
**Step 1.** Copy
[mongoose.c ](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cesanta/mongoose/master/mongoose.c )
and
[mongoose.h ](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cesanta/mongoose/master/mongoose.h )
into the source code tree
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-09-17 22:59:15 +08:00
**Step 2.** Add the following lines in your `main.c` file:
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
```c
2021-09-17 22:59:15 +08:00
#include "mongoose.h"
...
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
static void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data, void *fn_data) {
2021-09-17 22:59:15 +08:00
struct mg_http_serve_opts opts = {.root_dir = "."}; // Serve local dir
2022-12-05 06:16:34 +08:00
if (ev == MG_EV_HTTP_MSG) mg_http_serve_dir(c, (struct mg_http_message *)ev_data, &opts);
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
}
2021-09-17 22:59:15 +08:00
...
int main() {
...
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
2021-09-17 22:59:15 +08:00
struct mg_mgr mgr;
mg_mgr_init(&mgr);
mg_http_listen(& mgr, "0.0.0.0:8000", fn, NULL); // Create listening connection
for (;;) mg_mgr_poll(& mgr, 1000); // Block forever
}
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
```
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
**Step 3.** Add `mongoose.c` to the build and recompile - and that is it!
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
`mg_mgr_poll()` iterates over all connections, accepts new connections, sends and
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
receives data, closes connections, and calls event handler functions for the
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
respective events.
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-09-22 18:51:16 +08:00
Each connection has two event handler functions: `c->fn` and `c->pfn` . The
`c->fn` is a user-specified event handler function. The `c->pfn` is a
protocol-specific handler function that is set implicitly. For example, a
`mg_http_listen()` sets `c->pfn` to a Mongoose's HTTP event handler. A
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
protocol-specific handler is called before a user-specific handler. It parses
2021-09-22 18:51:16 +08:00
incoming data and may invoke protocol-specific events like `MG_EV_HTTP_MSG` .
2021-09-17 22:59:15 +08:00
< span class = "badge bg-danger" > NOTE:< / span >
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Since Mongoose's core is not protected against concurrent accesses, make
2021-09-17 22:59:15 +08:00
sure that all `mg_*` API functions are called from the same thread or RTOS
task.
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
## Send and receive buffers
Each connection has a send and receive buffer:
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `struct mg_connection::send` - Data to be sent to a peer
- `struct mg_connection::recv` - Data received from a peer
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
When data arrives, Mongoose appends received data to the `recv` and triggers a
2021-05-19 07:19:21 +08:00
`MG_EV_READ` event. The user may send data back by calling one of the output
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
functions, like `mg_send()` , `mg_printf()` or a protocol-specific function like
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
`mg_ws_send` . Output functions append data to the `send` buffer. When Mongoose
successfully writes data to the socket, it discards data from struct `mg_connection::send`
2022-06-01 18:06:17 +08:00
and sends an `MG_EV_WRITE` event.
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
## Event handler function
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Each connection has an event handler function associated with it, which
must be implemented by the user. Event handler is the key element of
Mongoose, since it defines the connection's behavior. See below
2021-11-16 20:30:40 +08:00
for an example of an event handler function:
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
```c
2021-08-21 03:31:32 +08:00
// Event handler function defines connection's behavior
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
static void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data, void *fn_data) {
2021-08-21 03:31:32 +08:00
if (ev == MG_EV_READ) {
mg_send(c, c->recv.buf, c->recv.len); // Implement echo server
c->recv.len = 0; // Delete received data
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
}
}
```
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `struct mg_connection *c` - A connection that received an event
- `int ev` - An event number, defined in mongoose.h. For example, when data
2021-11-16 20:30:40 +08:00
arrives on an inbound connection, `ev` would be `MG_EV_READ`
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `void *ev_data` - Points to the event-specific data, and it has a different
2021-05-19 07:19:21 +08:00
meaning for different events. For example, for an `MG_EV_READ` event,
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
`ev_data`
is an `int *` pointing to the number of bytes received from a remote
peer and saved into the `c->recv` IO buffer. The exact meaning of `ev_data` is
described for each event. Protocol-specific events usually have `ev_data`
2020-12-10 21:26:05 +08:00
pointing to structures that hold protocol-specific information
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `void *fn_data` - A user-defined pointer for the connection, which is a
2021-08-28 18:16:45 +08:00
placeholder for application-specific data. This `fn_data` pointer is set
during the `*_listen()` or `*_connect()` call, and it is stored in the
`c->fn_data` . Listening connections copy the value of `c->fn_data` to the
newly accepted connection, so all accepted connections initially share the
same `fn_data` pointer. It is fine to update/replace that pointer for
any connection at any time by setting `c->fn_data = new_value;`
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
## Events
2021-03-11 21:01:45 +08:00
Below is the list of events triggered by Mongoose, taken as-is from `mongoose.h` .
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
For each event, a comment describes the meaning of the `ev_data` pointer passed
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
to an event handler:
```c
enum {
2021-12-22 06:20:42 +08:00
MG_EV_ERROR, // Error char *error_message
MG_EV_OPEN, // Connection created NULL
2022-04-07 20:50:25 +08:00
MG_EV_POLL, // mg_mgr_poll iteration uint64_t *milliseconds
2021-12-22 06:20:42 +08:00
MG_EV_RESOLVE, // Host name is resolved NULL
MG_EV_CONNECT, // Connection established NULL
MG_EV_ACCEPT, // Connection accepted NULL
2022-09-20 21:52:45 +08:00
MG_EV_TLS_HS, // TLS handshake succeeded NULL
2022-09-10 01:10:48 +08:00
MG_EV_READ, // Data received from socket long *bytes_read
2021-12-22 06:20:42 +08:00
MG_EV_WRITE, // Data written to socket long *bytes_written
MG_EV_CLOSE, // Connection closed NULL
MG_EV_HTTP_MSG, // HTTP request/response struct mg_http_message *
MG_EV_HTTP_CHUNK, // HTTP chunk (partial msg) struct mg_http_message *
MG_EV_WS_OPEN, // Websocket handshake done struct mg_http_message *
MG_EV_WS_MSG, // Websocket msg, text or bin struct mg_ws_message *
MG_EV_WS_CTL, // Websocket control msg struct mg_ws_message *
MG_EV_MQTT_CMD, // MQTT low-level command struct mg_mqtt_message *
MG_EV_MQTT_MSG, // MQTT PUBLISH received struct mg_mqtt_message *
MG_EV_MQTT_OPEN, // MQTT CONNACK received int *connack_status_code
2022-04-07 20:50:25 +08:00
MG_EV_SNTP_TIME, // SNTP time received uint64_t *milliseconds
2021-12-22 06:20:42 +08:00
MG_EV_USER, // Starting ID for user events
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
};
```
## Connection flags
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
`struct mg_connection` has a bitfield with connection flags. Flags are binary:
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
they can be either 0 or 1. Some flags are set by Mongoose and must be not
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
changed by an application code. For example, the `is_udp` flag tells the application if
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
that connection is UDP or not. Some flags can be changed by application, for
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
example, the `is_draining` flag, if set by an application, tells Mongoose to send
the remaining data to a peer, and when everything is sent, close the connection.
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-12-19 18:53:17 +08:00
< span class = "badge bg-danger me-1" > NOTE: < / span > User-changeable flags are:
`is_hexdumping` , `is_draining` , `is_closing` .
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
This is taken from `mongoose.h` as-is:
```c
struct mg_connection {
...
unsigned is_listening : 1; // Listening connection
unsigned is_client : 1; // Outbound (client) connection
unsigned is_accepted : 1; // Accepted (server) connection
unsigned is_resolving : 1; // Non-blocking DNS resolv is in progress
unsigned is_connecting : 1; // Non-blocking connect is in progress
unsigned is_tls : 1; // TLS-enabled connection
unsigned is_tls_hs : 1; // TLS handshake is in progress
unsigned is_udp : 1; // UDP connection
unsigned is_websocket : 1; // WebSocket connection
unsigned is_hexdumping : 1; // Hexdump in/out traffic
unsigned is_draining : 1; // Send remaining data, then close and free
unsigned is_closing : 1; // Close and free the connection immediately
2022-06-03 18:37:35 +08:00
unsigned is_full : 1; // Stop reads, until cleared
2022-08-06 02:27:56 +08:00
unsigned is_resp : 1; // Response is still being generated
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
unsigned is_readable : 1; // Connection is ready to read
unsigned is_writable : 1; // Connection is ready to write
};
```
2022-04-24 18:26:25 +08:00
## Best practices
2022-12-21 19:31:14 +08:00
- Debug log. To increase debug verbosity, call `mg_log_set()` :
```c
mg_log_set(MG_LL_DEBUG);
mg_mgr_init(&mgr);
```
The `MG_INFO()` , `MG_DEBUG()` logging macros use `putchar()` by default,
i.e. they use standard C `stdout` stream. That works fine on the traditional
OS. In the embedded environment, in order to see debug output, two ways
are possible: IO retargeting or Mongoose log redirection. IO retargeting
can already be implemented by an embedded SDK - for example ESP32 SDK
redirects `printf()` to the UART0. Otherwise, IO retargeting can be
implemented manually, see
[guide ](https://github.com/cpq/bare-metal-programming-guide#redirect-printf-to-uart )
for more details.
The alternative way is to redirect Mongoose logs:
```c
void log_fn(char ch, void *param) {
output_a_single_character_to_UART(ch);
}
...
mg_log_set_fn(log_fn, param); // Use our custom log function
```
2022-04-24 18:26:25 +08:00
- If you need to perform any sort of initialisation of your connection,
do it by catching `MG_EV_OPEN` event. That event is sent immediately
after a connection has been allocated and added to the event manager,
but before anything else:
```c
2022-04-24 18:33:47 +08:00
static void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data, void *fn_data) {
2022-04-24 18:26:25 +08:00
if (ev == MG_EV_OPEN) {
... // Do your initialisation
}
```
- If you need to keep some connection-specific data, you have two options.
First, use `c->fn_data` pointer. That pointer is passed to the event handler
2022-04-24 18:33:47 +08:00
as last parameter:
```c
static void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data, void *fn_data) {
if (ev == MG_EV_OPEN) {
c->fn_data = malloc(123); // Change our fn_data
} else if (ev == MG_EV_CLOSE) {
free(fn_data); // Don't forget to free!
}
...
}
2022-04-24 18:37:23 +08:00
// Every accepted connection inherit NULL pointer as c->fn_data, but we change
2022-04-24 18:33:47 +08:00
// it per-connection to something else
2022-04-24 18:37:23 +08:00
mg_http_listen(& mgr, "http://localhost:1234", fn, NULL);
2022-04-24 18:33:47 +08:00
```
Another option is to use `c->label` buffer, which can
hold some amount of connection-specific data without extra memory allocation:
```c
static void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data, void *fn_data) {
if (ev == MG_EV_WS_OPEN) {
c->label[0] = 'W'; // Established websocket connection, store something
...
```
2022-04-24 18:39:54 +08:00
- If you need to close the connection, set `c->is_draining = 1;` in your
2022-04-24 18:26:25 +08:00
event handler function. That tells the event manager to send all remaining
2022-04-24 18:39:54 +08:00
data in a send buffer ("drain" the connection), then close the connection.
If you need to close
the connection immediately without draining, use `c->is_closing = 1;`
2022-04-24 18:26:25 +08:00
- Use `mg_http_reply()` function to create HTTP responses. That function
properly sets the `Content-Length` header, which is important. Of course
you can create responses manually, e.g. with `mg_printf()` function,
but be sure to set the `Content-Length` header:
```c
mg_printf(c, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\Content-Length: %d\r\n\r\n%s", 2, "hi");
```
Alternatively, use chunked transfer enconding:
```c
mg_printf(c, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\n\r\n");
mg_http_printf_chunk(c, "%s", "foo");
mg_http_printf_chunk(c, "%s", "bar");
mg_http_printf_chunk(c, ""); // Don't forget the last empty chunk
```
2022-08-06 02:27:56 +08:00
< span class = "badge bg-danger" > NOTE:< / span > if you are not using
`mg_http_reply()` or `mg_http_*_chunk()` , make sure to set
`c->is_resp = 0;` when your event handler finished writing response.
2022-05-12 22:07:02 +08:00
- On embedded environment, make sure that serving task has enough stack:
give it 2k for simple RESTful serving, or 4-8k for complex dynamic/static
serving. In certain environments, it is necessary to adjust heap size, too.
By default, IO buffer allocation size `MG_IO_SIZE` is 2048: change it to 512
to trim run-time per-connection memory consumption.
2022-04-24 18:26:25 +08:00
2022-12-21 19:18:50 +08:00
## Architecture diagram
In the Operating System environment, Mongoose uses BSD sockets API provided
by the OS's TCP/IP stack:
![](images/arch2.svg)
In the embedded bare metal environment, Mongoose can utilise its own built-in
stack with network drivers - i.e. it can run directly on top of the hardware:
![](images/arch1.svg)
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
## Build options
Mongoose source code ships in two files:
- [mongoose.h ](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/mongoose.h ) - API definitions
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- [mongoose.c ](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/mongoose.c ) - Implementation
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Therefore, to integrate Mongoose into an application, simply copy these two
2021-05-18 00:36:57 +08:00
files to the application's source tree. The `mongoose.c` and `mongoose.h` files
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
are actually an amalgamation - non-amalgamated sources can be found at
2021-05-18 00:36:57 +08:00
https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/tree/master/src
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2022-11-06 09:03:33 +08:00
Mongoose has 3 types of build constants (preprocessor definitions) that affect
the build: a target architecture/OS, target network stack, and tunables. In
order to set the option during build time, use the `-D OPTION` compiler flag:
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
```sh
2022-11-06 09:03:33 +08:00
$ cc app.c mongoose.c # Use defaults!
$ cc app.c mongoose.c -D MG_ENABLE_IPV6=1 # Build with IPv6 enabled
$ cc app.c mongoose.c -D MG_ARCH=MG_ARCH_RTX # Set architecture
$ cc app.c mongoose.c -D MG_ENABLE_SSI=0 -D MG_IO_SIZE=8192 # Multiple options
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
```
2022-11-06 09:03:33 +08:00
The list of supported architectures is defined in the
[arch.h ](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/src/arch.h ) header
file. Normally, there is no need to explicitly specify the architecture. The
architecture is guessed during the build, so setting it is not usually
required.

## Custom build
2022-11-02 08:01:33 +08:00
A custom build should be used for cases not covered by the
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
existing architecture options (e.g., an embedded architecture that
uses some proprietary RTOS and network stack). In order to build on such
systems, follow the outline below:
2021-05-12 18:39:46 +08:00
1. Add `-DMG_ARCH=MG_ARCH_CUSTOM` to your build flags.
2. Create a file called `mongoose_custom.h` , with defines and includes that
2022-12-21 19:18:50 +08:00
are relevant to your platform. Mongoose uses `bool` type, `MG_DIRSEP` define,
and optionally other structures like `DIR *` depending on the functionality
you have enabled - see previous section. Below is an example:
```c
#include < stdbool.h >
#include < stdarg.h >
#define MG_DIRSEP '/'
#define MG_INT64_FMT "%lld"
```
You can also add a `MG_ARCH` definition:
```c
#define MG_ARCH MG_ARCH_CUSTOM
```
2022-05-26 09:10:28 +08:00
3. This step is optional, and only required if you intend to use a custom
TCP/IP stack. To do that, you should:
* Disable BSD socket API: in the `mongoose_custom.h` , add
2022-12-21 19:18:50 +08:00
```c
#define MG_ENABLE_SOCKET 0
```
2022-05-26 09:10:28 +08:00
* Add an implementation of several internal API functions, like
`mg_send()` , `mg_mgr_poll()` , etc. For the reference, take
a look at the stub
"do nothing" implementation at
[test/mongoose_custom.c ](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/test/mongoose_custom.c )
and the experimental builtin bare metal TCP/IP stack implementation
at
[src/mip.c ](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/src/mip.c )

## Minimal HTTP server
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
2022-05-12 15:07:51 +08:00
This example is a simple HTTP server that serves both static and dynamic content:
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
```c
#include "mongoose.h"
2021-08-22 17:51:40 +08:00
static void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data, void *fn_data) {
2022-05-12 15:07:51 +08:00
if (ev == MG_EV_HTTP_MSG) {
struct mg_http_message *hm = (struct mg_http_message * ) ev_data;
2022-09-05 19:29:06 +08:00
if (mg_http_match_uri(hm, "/api/hello")) { // On /api/hello requests,
mg_http_reply(c, 200, "", "{%Q:%d}\n", "status", 1); // Send dynamic JSON response
} else { // For all other URIs,
struct mg_http_serve_opts opts = {.root_dir = "."}; // Serve files
mg_http_serve_dir(c, hm, &opts); // From root_dir
2022-05-12 15:07:51 +08:00
}
}
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
struct mg_mgr mgr;
2022-05-12 15:07:51 +08:00
mg_mgr_init(&mgr); // Init manager
mg_http_listen(& mgr, "http://0.0.0.0:8000", fn, &mgr); // Setup listener
for (;;) mg_mgr_poll(& mgr, 1000); // Event loop
mg_mgr_free(&mgr); // Cleanup
2020-12-07 05:12:05 +08:00
return 0;
}
```
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
## Minimal TCP echo server
This example is a simple TCP echo server that listens on port 1234:
```c
#include "mongoose.h"
static void cb(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data, void *fn_data) {
2021-05-19 07:19:21 +08:00
if (ev == MG_EV_READ) {
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
mg_send(c, c->recv.buf, c->recv.len); // Echo received data back
2021-08-28 14:16:38 +08:00
mg_iobuf_del(& c->recv, 0, c->recv.len); // And discard it
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
struct mg_mgr mgr;
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
mg_mgr_init(&mgr); // Init manager
mg_listen(& mgr, "tcp://0.0.0.0:1234", cb, &mgr); // Setup listener
for (;;) mg_mgr_poll(& mgr, 1000); // Event loop
mg_mgr_free(&mgr); // Cleanup
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
return 0;
}
```

Create a listening connection, append this connection to `mgr->conns` .
2021-09-15 20:37:57 +08:00
Parameters:
2021-09-22 18:51:16 +08:00
- `mgr` - an event manager to use
- `url` - a URL. Specifies local IP address and port to listen on, e.g.
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
`tcp://127.0.0.1:1234` or `udp://0.0.0.0:9000`

2021-09-15 20:37:57 +08:00
Parameters:
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `mgr` - An event manager to use
- `url` - A URL, specifies remote IP address/port to connect to, e.g. `http://a.com`
- `fn` - An event handler function
- `fn_data` - An arbitrary pointer, which will be passed as `fn_data` when an
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
event handler is called. This pointer is also stored in a connection
structure as `c->fn_data`
Return value: created connection, or `NULL` on error.
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Note: This function does not connect to peer, it allocates required resources and
starts connect process. Once peer is really connected, `MG_EV_CONNECT` event is sent
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
to connection event handler.
Usage example:
```c
struct mg_connection *c = mg_connect(& mgr, "http://example.org", fn, NULL);

```
Append `data` of size `size` to the `c->send` buffer. Return number of bytes
appended.
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Note: This function does not push data to the network. It only appends data to
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
the output buffer. The data is being sent when `mg_mgr_poll()` is called. If
`mg_send()` is called multiple times, the output buffer grows.
2021-09-15 20:37:57 +08:00
Parameters:
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `c` - A connection pointer
- `data` - A pointer to data to append to the send buffer
- `size` - A data size
2021-09-15 20:37:57 +08:00
Return value: `true` if data appended successfully and `false` otherwise
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
Usage example:
```c
mg_send(c, "hi", 2); // Append string "hi" to the output buffer
```
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
2022-02-11 01:11:03 +08:00
### mg\_printf(), mg\_vprintf()
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
```c
int mg_printf(struct mg_connection *, const char *fmt, ...);
2022-09-23 15:59:02 +08:00
int mg_vprintf(struct mg_connection *, const char *fmt, va_list *ap);
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
```
Same as `mg_send()` , but formats data using `printf()` semantics. Return
number of bytes appended to the output buffer.

struct mg_connection *mg_wrapfd(struct mg_mgr *mgr, int fd,
mg_event_handler_t fn, void *fn_data);
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
```
2022-04-22 21:42:07 +08:00
Wrap a given file descriptor `fd` into a connection, and add that connection
2022-08-09 03:01:04 +08:00
to the event manager. An `fd` descriptor must support `send()` , `recv()` ,
2022-04-22 21:42:07 +08:00
`select()` syscalls, and be non-blocking. Mongoose will treat it as a TCP
socket. The `c->rem` and `c->loc` addresses will be empty.
2021-08-09 16:43:21 +08:00
2021-09-15 20:37:57 +08:00

2022-06-01 01:23:32 +08:00
int mg_mkpipe(struct mg_mgr *mgr, mg_event_handler_t fn, void *fn_data, bool udp);
2022-04-22 21:42:07 +08:00
```
Create two interconnected sockets for inter-thread communication. One socket
is wrapped into a Mongoose connection and is added to the event manager.
Another socket is returned, and supposed to be passed to a worker thread.
When a worker thread `send()` s to socket any data, that wakes up `mgr` and
`fn` event handler reveives `MG_EV_READ` event. Also, `fn` can send any
data to a worker thread, which can be `recv()` ed by a worker thread.
2022-06-01 01:23:32 +08:00
If a socketpair is UDP, then it is guaranteed to send a
2022-04-22 21:42:07 +08:00
Parameters:
2022-06-01 01:23:32 +08:00
- `mgr` - an event manager
- `fn` - a pointer to event handler function
- `fn_data` - a user data pointer. It will be passed to `fn` as `fn_data` parameter
- `udp` - tells to create UDP or TCP socketpair.
2022-04-22 21:42:07 +08:00
Return value: created socket, or `-1` on error

### mg\_hello()
```c
void mg_hello(const char *url);
```
A convenience function that starts a simple web server on a given listening
URL. This function does not return until a "/quit" request is received. A
server handles the following URIs:
- `/quit` - quit the server, and exit the function
- `/debug` - set debug level, expect `{"level": 3}` as a POST payload
- For all other URIs, `hi` is returned as a response
Parameters:
- `url` - a listening URL, for example `http://0.0.0.0:8000`

This is a helper utility function that is used to upload large files by small
chunks.
Append HTTP POST data to a file in a specified directory. A file name and
file offset are specified by the query string parameters:
`POST /upload?name=firmware.bin&offset=2048 HTTP/1.1` . If the offset is 0, then the
file is truncated. It is a client's responsibility to divide a file into a
smaller chunks and send a sequence of POST requests that will be handled by
this function.
Parameters:
- `c` - a connection
- `hm` - a parsed HTTP message
- `fs` - a filesystem where to write a file, e.g. `&mg_fs_posix`
- `path` - a filename
- `max_size` - a maximum allowed file size
Return value: file size after write, or negative number on error
Usage example:
```c
static void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data, void *fn_data) {
if (ev == MG_EV_HTTP_MSG) {
struct mg_http_message *hm = (struct mg_http_message * ) ev_data;
if (mg_http_match_uri(hm, "/upload")) {
mg_http_upload(c, hm, & mg_fs_posix, "/tmp/myfile.bin", 99999);
} else {
struct mg_http_serve_opts opts = {.root_dir = "."}; // Serve
mg_http_serve_dir(c, ev_data, &opts); // static content
}
}
}

## WebSocket
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
### struct mg\_ws\_message
```c
struct mg_ws_message {
2022-10-27 23:01:47 +08:00
struct mg_str data; // WebSocket message data
uint8_t flags; // WebSocket message flags
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
};
```
2022-10-27 23:01:47 +08:00
This structure represents the WebSocket message, the `flags` element corresponds to the first byte as described in [RFC 6455 section 5.2 ](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6455#section-5.2 ).
#### WebSocket message type:
To extract the message type from an incoming message, check the four LSBs in the `flags` element of the `struct mg_ws_message` .
Possible WebSocket message types:
```c
#define WEBSOCKET_OP_CONTINUE 0
#define WEBSOCKET_OP_TEXT 1
#define WEBSOCKET_OP_BINARY 2
#define WEBSOCKET_OP_CLOSE 8
#define WEBSOCKET_OP_PING 9
#define WEBSOCKET_OP_PONG 10
```
```c
// Mongoose events handler
void fn(struct mg_connection *c, int ev, void *ev_data, void *fn_data) {
if (ev == MG_EV_WS_MSG) {
struct mg_ws_message *wm = (struct mg_ws_message * ) ev_data;
msgtype = wm->flags & 0x0F;
if (msgtype == WEBSOCKET_OP_BINARY) {
// This is a binary data message
} else if (msgtype == WEBSOCKET_OP_TEXT) {
// This is a text data message
}
}
}
```
To send a message, use the proper message type as described in [RFC 6455 section 5.6 ](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6455#section-5.6 ) for data frames. when calling [mg_ws_send() ](#mg_ws_send ) or [mg_ws_printf() ](#mg_ws_printf-mg_ws_vprintf ) below

- `fn_data` - An arbitrary pointer, which will be passed as `fn_data` when an
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
event handler is called. This pointer is also stored in a connection
structure as `c->fn_data`
- `fmt` - printf-like format string for additional HTTP headers, or NULL
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Return value: Pointer to created connection or `NULL` on error

## TLS
2021-08-28 15:21:29 +08:00
### struct mg\_tls\_opts
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
```c
struct mg_tls_opts {
const char *ca; // CA certificate file. For both listeners and clients
2021-10-14 23:32:48 +08:00
const char *crl; // Certificate Revocation List. For clients
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
const char *cert; // Certificate
const char *certkey; // Certificate key
const char *ciphers; // Cipher list
2021-01-30 21:03:11 +08:00
struct mg_str srvname; // If not empty, enables server name verification
2022-01-19 01:11:02 +08:00
struct mg_fs *fs; // FS API for reading certificate files
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
};
2021-08-28 15:21:29 +08:00
```
TLS initialisation structure:
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `ca` - Certificate Authority. Can be a filename or a string. Used to verify
a certificate that the other end sends to us. If NULL, then certificate checking
2021-08-28 15:21:29 +08:00
is disabled
2021-10-14 23:32:48 +08:00
- `crl` - Certificate Revocation List. Can be a filename or a string. Used to
verify a certificate that the other end sends to us. If NULL, then certificate
revocation checking is disabled
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `cert` - Our own certificate. Can be a filename, or a string. If NULL, then
2021-08-28 15:21:29 +08:00
we don't authenticate with the other peer
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `certkey` - A key for a `cert` . Sometimes, a certificate and its key are
2021-08-28 15:21:29 +08:00
bundled in a single .pem file, in which case the values for `cert` and
`certkey` could be the same
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `ciphers` - A list of allowed ciphers
- `srvname` - Enable server name verification
2021-08-28 15:21:29 +08:00
NOTE: if both `ca` and `cert` are set, then so-called two-way TLS is enabled,
when both sides authenticate with each other. Usually, server-side connections
set both `ca` and `cert` , whilst client-side - only `ca` .
### mg\_tls\_init()
```c
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00

Setup a timer. This is a high-level timer API that allows to add a software
timer to the event manager. This function `calloc()` s a new timer and
adds it to the `mgr->timers` list. All added timers are polled when
`mg_mgr_poll()` is called, and called if expired.

interval is equal or more to the `mg_mgr_poll()` timeout.
Parameters:
- `mgr` - Pointer to `mg_mgr` event manager structure
- `ms` - An interval in milliseconds
- `flags` - Timer flags bitmask, `MG_TIMER_REPEAT` and `MG_TIMER_RUN_NOW`
- `fn` - Function to invoke
- `fn_data` - Function argument
2022-05-27 04:43:56 +08:00

### struct mg\_str
2021-08-28 13:54:56 +08:00
2021-11-05 07:07:47 +08:00
```c
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
struct mg_str {
const char *ptr; // Pointer to string data
size_t len; // String len
};
```

2021-11-05 07:07:47 +08:00
This structure represent an arbitrary chunk of memory, not necessarily
zero-terminated. This is a "mongoose string", and it gets used extensively
in the codebase instead of C zero-terminated strings.
For example, when an HTTP request is received, Mongoose created a
2021-11-16 20:30:40 +08:00
`struct mg_http_message` which has a collection of `struct mg_str` pointing
2021-11-05 07:07:47 +08:00
to request method, URI, headers, and so on. This way, Mongoose avoids
any heap allocations and does not modify the received buffer - instead, it
uses `struct mg_str` to describe various parts of HTTP request.
Same goes with many other cases.
NOTE: since `ptr` is not necessarily zero-terminated, do not use libc string
2021-11-16 20:30:40 +08:00
functions against it - like `strlen()` or `sscanf()` .

## JSON
2022-08-05 04:04:11 +08:00
Note that Mongoose's printing functions support non-standard format specifiers `%Q` and `%M` ,
2022-06-13 22:04:52 +08:00
which allow to print JSON strings easily:
```c
char *json = mg_mprintf("{%Q:%d}", "value", 123); // {"value":123}
free(json);
```
Therefore, for a full JSON support, a set of parsing functions is required -
which is described below.
2022-06-10 20:01:52 +08:00
### mg\_json\_get()
```c
enum { MG_JSON_TOO_DEEP = -1, MG_JSON_INVALID = -2, MG_JSON_NOT_FOUND = -3 };
2022-07-30 14:55:26 +08:00
int mg_json_get(struct mg_str json, const char *path, int *toklen);
2022-06-10 20:01:52 +08:00
```
2022-07-30 14:55:26 +08:00
Parse JSON string `json` and return the offset of the element
specified by the JSON `path` . The length of the element is stored
2022-06-10 20:01:52 +08:00
in the `toklen` .
Parameters:
2022-07-30 14:55:26 +08:00
- `json` - a string containing valid JSON
- `path` - a JSON path. Must start with `$` , e.g. `$.user`
- `toklen` - a pointer that receives element's length, can be NULL
2022-06-10 20:01:52 +08:00
Return value: offset of the element, or negative `MG_JSON_*` on error.
Usage example:
```c
2022-06-13 22:04:52 +08:00
// Create a json string: { "a": 1, "b": [2, 3] }
char *buf = mg_mprintf("{ %Q: %d, %Q: [%d, %d] }", "a", 1, "b", 2, 3);
2022-07-30 14:55:26 +08:00
struct mg_str json = mg_str(buf);
int offset, length;
2022-06-10 20:01:52 +08:00
// Lookup "$", which is the whole JSON. Can be used for validation
2022-07-30 14:55:26 +08:00
offset = mg_json_get(json, "$", &length); // offset = 0, length = 23
2022-06-10 20:01:52 +08:00
// Lookup attribute "a". Point to value "1"
2022-07-30 14:55:26 +08:00
offset = mg_json_get(json, "$.a", &length); // offset = 7, length = 1
2022-06-10 20:01:52 +08:00
// Lookup attribute "b". Point to array [2, 3]
2022-07-30 14:55:26 +08:00
offset = mg_json_get(json, "$.b", &length); // offset = 15, length = 6
2022-06-10 20:01:52 +08:00
// Lookup attribute "b[1]". Point to value "3"
2022-07-30 14:55:26 +08:00
offset = mg_json_get(json, "$.b[1]", &length); // offset = 19, length = 1
2022-06-13 22:04:52 +08:00
free(buf);
2022-06-10 20:01:52 +08:00
```

## RPC
Mongoose includes a set of functions to ease server-side processing by means of RPC methods.
### struct mg\_rpc
The RPC method handler structure. Each method has an entry in a linked list, each entry points to a string describing the pattern that will invoke it and the function that will be called to satisfy the method invocation, with a proper function argument.
```c
struct mg_rpc {
struct mg_rpc *next; // Next in list
struct mg_str method; // Method pattern
void (*fn)(struct mg_rpc_req *); // Handler function
void *fn_data; // Handler function argument
};
```
### struct mg\_rpc\_req
The RPC request descriptor. An invoked method receives a descriptor containing the request, and a pointer to a function to be called to print the output response, with a proper function argument; e.g.: [mg_pfn_realloc() ](#mg_pfn_realloc ) or [mg_pfn_iobuf() ](#mg_pfn_iobuf )
```c
struct mg_rpc_req {
struct mg_rpc **head; // RPC handlers list head
struct mg_rpc *rpc; // RPC handler being called
mg_pfn_t pfn; // Response printing function
void *pfn_data; // Response printing function data
void *req_data; // Arbitrary request data
struct mg_str frame; // Request, e.g. {"id":1,"method":"add","params":[1,2]}
};
```
### mg\_rpc\_add()
```c
void mg_rpc_add(struct mg_rpc **head, struct mg_str method_pattern,
void (*handler)(struct mg_rpc_req *), void *handler_data);
```
Add the method `method_pattern` to the list `head` of RPC methods. Invoking this method will call `handler` and pass `handler_data` to it with the request (as `r->fn_data` in the usage example below).
Parameters:
- `head` - the linked list pointer
- `method_pattern` - the name of the method
- `handler` - the RPC function performing the action for this method
- `handler_data` - Arbitrary function data
2022-08-27 00:41:13 +08:00
< span class = "badge bg-info" > NOTE:< / span >
if `method_pattern` is an empty string, this handler will be called to process
JSON-RPC responses. Handling responses might be necessary if the JSON requests
are initiated by both sides.
2022-08-05 04:04:11 +08:00
Usage example:
```c
struct mg_rpc *s_rpc_head = NULL;
static void rpc_sum(struct mg_rpc_req *r) {
double a = 0.0, b = 0.0;
mg_json_get_num(r->frame, "$.params[0]", &a);
mg_json_get_num(r->frame, "$.params[1]", &b);
mg_rpc_ok(r, "%g", a + b);
}
static void rpc_mul(struct mg_rpc_req *r) {//...}
mg_rpc_add(& s_rpc_head, mg_str("sum"), rpc_sum, NULL);
mg_rpc_add(& s_rpc_head, mg_str("mul"), rpc_mul, NULL);
```
### mg\_rpc\_del()
```c
void mg_rpc_del(struct mg_rpc **head, void (*handler)(struct mg_rpc_req *));
```
Remove the method with RPC function handler `handler` from the list `head` of RPC methods.
Parameters:
- `head` - the linked list pointer
- `handler` - the RPC function performing the action for this method, use NULL to deallocate all
Usage example:
```c
struct mg_rpc *s_rpc_head = NULL;
// add methods
// ...
// Time to cleanup
mg_rpc_del(& s_rpc_head, rpc_mul); // Deallocate specific handler
mg_rpc_del(& s_rpc_head, NULL); // Deallocate all RPC handlers
```
### mg\_rpc\_process()
```c
void mg_rpc_process(struct mg_rpc_req *req);
```
Invoke the proper method for this request. If the requested method does not exist, `mg_rpc_err()` will be invoked and an error indication will be printed
Parameters:
- `req` - a request
Usage example:
```c
2022-08-10 22:35:07 +08:00
struct mg_rpc *s_rpcs = NULL; // Empty RPC list head
mg_rpc_add(& s_rpcs, mg_str("rpc.list"), mg_rpc_list, NULL); // Add rpc.list
// ... add more RPC methods
2022-08-05 04:04:11 +08:00
2022-08-10 22:35:07 +08:00
// On request, process the incoming frame
struct mg_str req = mg_str("{\"id\":1,\"method\":\"sum\",\"params\":[1,2]}");
struct mg_iobuf io = {0, 0, 0, 512}; // Empty IO buf, with 512 realloc granularity
2022-08-05 04:04:11 +08:00
struct mg_rpc_req r = {
2022-08-10 22:35:07 +08:00
.head = & s_rpcs, // RPC list head
.rpc = NULL, // This will be set by mg_rpc_process()
.pfn = mg_pfn_iobuf, // Printing function: print into the io buffer
.pfn_data = & io, // Pass our io buffer as a parameter
.req_data = NULL, // No specific request data
.frame = req, // Specify incoming frame
2022-08-05 04:04:11 +08:00
};
2022-08-10 22:35:07 +08:00
mg_rpc_process(&r);
if (io.buf != NULL) printf("Response: %s\n", (char *) io.buf);
mg_iobuf_free(&io);
2022-08-05 04:04:11 +08:00
```

## IO Buffers
IO buffer, described by the `struct mg_iobuf` , is a simple data structure
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
that inserts or deletes chunks of data at arbitrary offsets and grows/shrinks
2021-08-30 20:06:45 +08:00
automatically.
2021-08-28 15:46:01 +08:00
### struct mg\_iobuf
2020-12-09 00:26:17 +08:00
2021-08-28 15:46:01 +08:00
```c
struct mg_iobuf {
2021-08-30 20:06:45 +08:00
unsigned char *buf; // Pointer to stored data
size_t size; // Total size available
size_t len; // Current number of bytes
2022-08-01 19:53:25 +08:00
size_t align; // Alignment during allocation
2021-08-28 15:46:01 +08:00
};
```
Generic IO buffer. The `size` specifies an allocation size of the data pointed
by `buf` , and `len` specifies number of bytes currently stored.

- `size` - Amount of bytes to allocate
2022-08-01 19:53:25 +08:00
- `align` - Align `size` to the `align` mem boundary. `0` means no alignment
2021-09-15 20:37:57 +08:00
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Return value: 1 on success, 0 on allocation failure
2021-03-08 23:41:16 +08:00

```
2021-08-28 15:46:01 +08:00
Resize IO buffer, set the new size to `size` . The `io->buf` pointer could
change after this, for example if the buffer grows. If `size` is 0, then the
`io->buf` is freed and set to NULL, and both `size` and `len` are set to 0.
2022-08-01 19:53:25 +08:00
The resulting `io->size` is always aligned to the `io->align` byte boundary;
therefore, to avoid memory fragmentation and frequent reallocations, set
`io->align` to a higher value.
2021-09-15 20:37:57 +08:00
Parameters:
- `io` - iobuf to resize

```c
struct mg_iobuf io;
2022-08-01 19:53:25 +08:00
mg_iobuf_init(& io, 0, 10); // An empty buffer with 10-byte alignment
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
2022-08-01 19:53:25 +08:00

Logging macros.
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
Usage example:
2022-05-07 04:09:13 +08:00
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
```c
2022-05-07 04:09:13 +08:00
MG_INFO(("Hello %s!", "world")); // Output "Hello, world"
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
```
### mg\_log\_set()
```c
void mg_log_set(const char *spec);
```
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Set Mongoose logging level.
2021-09-15 20:37:57 +08:00
Parameters:
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
- `spec` - String, containing log level, can be one of the following values:
2022-05-25 18:14:42 +08:00
- `0` - Disable logging
- `1` - Log errors only
- `2` - Log errors and info messages
2022-10-15 09:27:06 +08:00
- `3` - Log errors, info and debug messages
2022-05-25 18:14:42 +08:00
- `4` - Log everything
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
Return value: None
2021-09-15 20:37:57 +08:00
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
It is possible to override log level per source file basis. For example, if
there is a file called `foo.c` , and you'd like to set a global level to `2`
2021-09-24 00:07:00 +08:00
(info) but increase log level for file foo.c to `debug` , then, a `spec` should
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
look like `"2,foo.c=3"` . There could be several comma-separated overrides.
Usage example:
```c
mg_log_set("2"); // Set log level to info
mg_log_set("2,foo.c=3,bar.c=0"); // Set log level to info, with overrides
```

### struct mg\_fs
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
2022-05-25 20:28:25 +08:00
```c
struct mg_fs {
int (*st)(const char *path, size_t *size, time_t *mtime); // stat file
void (*ls)(const char *path, void (*fn)(const char *, void * ), void *);
void *(*op)(const char *path, int flags); // Open file
void (*cl)(void *fd); // Close file
size_t (*rd)(void *fd, void *buf, size_t len); // Read file
size_t (*wr)(void *fd, const void *buf, size_t len); // Write file
size_t (*sk)(void *fd, size_t offset); // Set file position
bool (*mv)(const char *from, const char *to); // Rename file
bool (*rm)(const char *path); // Delete file
bool (*mkd)(const char *path); // Create directory
};
enum { MG_FS_READ = 1, MG_FS_WRITE = 2, MG_FS_DIR = 4 };

Filesystem virtualisation layer.
Mongoose allows to override file IO operations in order to support different
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
storages, like programmable flash, no-filesystem devices etc.
In order to accomplish this, Mongoose provides a `struct mg_fs` API to
2022-05-25 03:36:21 +08:00
specify a custom filesystem. In addition to this, Mongoose provides several
2022-05-25 20:28:25 +08:00
built-in APIs - a standard POSIX, FatFS, and a "packed FS" API:
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
```c
2022-05-25 20:28:25 +08:00
extern struct mg_fs mg_fs_posix; // POSIX open/close/read/write/seek
2022-05-25 20:29:49 +08:00
extern struct mg_fs mg_fs_packed; // Packed FS, see examples/device-dashboard
2022-05-25 20:28:25 +08:00
extern struct mg_fs mg_fs_fat; // FAT FS
```
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
2022-05-25 20:28:25 +08:00
### struct mg\_fd
```c
struct mg_fd {
void *fd;
struct mg_fs *fs;
2021-09-15 14:43:24 +08:00
};
```
2022-05-25 20:28:25 +08:00
Opened file abstraction.
### mg\_fs\_open()
```c
struct mg_fd *mg_fs_open(struct mg_fs *fs, const char *path, int flags);
```
Open a file in a given filesystem.
Parameters:
- `fs` - a filesystem implementation
- `path` - a file path
- `flags` - desired flags, a combination of `MG_FS_READ` and `MG_FS_WRITE`
Return value: a non-NULL opened descriptor, or NULL on failure.
Usage example:
```c
struct mg_fd *fd = mg_fs_open(& mg_fs_posix, "/tmp/data.json", MG_FS_WRITE);
```
### mg\_fs\_close()
```c
void mg_fs_close(struct mg_fd *fd);
```
Close an opened file descriptor.
Parameters:
- `fd` - an opened file descriptor
Return value: none
### mg\_file\_read()
```c
char *mg_file_read(struct mg_fs *fs, const char *path, size_t *size);
```
Read the whole file in memory.
Parameters:
- `fs` - a filesystem implementation
- `path` - a file path
- `size` - if not NULL, will contained the size of the read file
Return value: on success, a pointer to file data, which is guaranteed
to the 0-terminated. On error, NULL.
Usage example:
```c
size_t size = 0;
char *data = mg_file_read(& mg_fs_packed, "/data.json", &size);
```
### mg\_file\_write()
```c
bool mg_file_write(struct mg_fs *fs, const char *path, const void *buf, size_t len);
```
Write a piece of data `buf` , `len` to a file `path` . If the file does not
exist, it gets created. The previous content, if any, is deleted.
Parameters:
- `fs` - a filesystem implementation
- `path` - a file path
- `buf` - a pointer to data to be written
- `len` - a data size
Return value: true on success, false on error
Usage example:
```c
mg_file_write(& mg_fs_fat, "/test.txt", "hi\n", 3);
```
### mg\_file\_printf()
```c
bool mg_file_printf(struct mg_fs *fs, const char *path, const char *fmt, ...);
