+How do we use this API(?), I hear you say. Well, here is a self-contained
+example complete with tedious comments, allocation of buffers and cleanup:
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 1 | void functy_the_function(void)
+ 2 | {
+ 3 | struct tlv tlv_packet; /* A packet made of tlv's */
+ 4 | struct tlv text; /* Actually useful data */
+ 5 | char *packet; /* Raw bytes to be pushed via UDP */
+ 6 | size_t packet_size; /* Raw packet size */
+ 7 | char message[] = "Get jacked!"; /* Duh! */
+ 9 |
+ 10 | tlv_init(&tlv_packet, REGURAL); /* Initialise tlv_packet to regular */
+ 11 | tlv_init(&text, TEXT); /* Initialise text packet */
+ 12 | tlv_push_data(&text, message, sizeof(message)); /* Push text to appropriate tlv */
+ 13 | tlv_push_tlv(&tlv_packet, &text); /* Push the tlv into tlv packet */
+ 14 |
+ 15 | packet_size = tlv_raw_size(&tlv_packet); /* Get raw size required to push entire tlv_packet as bytes */
+ 16 | packet = (char *)malloc(packet_size); /* Allocate buffer for outgoing packet */
+ 17 | tlv_get_raw(&tlv_packet, packet); /* Flash tlv_packet to buffer */
+ 19 | udp_push(packet, packet_size); /* Push packet via UDP */
+ 20 | udp_flush(); /* Flush to the other side*/
+ 21 |
+ 22 | tlv_destroy(&tlv_packet); /* Free tlv_packet */
+ 23 | free(packet); /* Free packet itself */
+ 24 | return; /* GTFO and save stack space */
+ 25 | }
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A few things to note:
+ * Calling tlv_destroy() on a tlv of type REGURAL or HEARTBEAT destorys
+ all sub-tlv's too.
+ * Tlv's get copies of data, which means the original buffer can be
+ freed immediately.
