-i. TYPES AND GLOBALS
-======================
-
-## The global afbBindingRoot
-
-The global **afbBindingRoot** of type **afb_api_t** is always implicitly
-defined for bindings of version 3 or upper. It records the root api of
-the binding.
-
-When the binding has a defined **afbBindingExport**, the root api
-**afbBindingRoot** is the **afb_pi_t** relative to the api created for
-this static description.
-
-When the binding has no defined **afbBindingExport**, the root api is
-a virtual api representing the shared object of the binding. In that case
-the name of the api is the path of the shared object. Its use is restricted
-but allows log messages.
-
-## The global afbBindingExport
-
-The global **afbBindingExport** is not mandatory.
-
-If **afbBindingExport** is defined and exported, it must be of the type
-**const afb_binding_t** and must describe the *root* api of the binding.
-
-## The type afb_api_t
-
-Bindings now can declare more than one api. The counter part is that
-a new handle is needed to manage apis. These handles are of the type
-**afb_api_t**.
-
-It is defined as below.
-
-```C
-typedef struct afb_api_x3 afb_api_t;
-```
-
-## The type afb_binding_t
-
-The main structure, of type **afb_binding_t**, for describing the binding
-must be exported under the name **afbBindingExport**.
-
-This structure is defined as below.
-
-```C
-typedef struct afb_binding_v3 afb_binding_t;
-```
-
-Where:
-
-```C
-/**
- * Description of the bindings of type version 3
- */
-struct afb_binding_v3
-{
- /** api name for the binding, can't be NULL */
- const char *api;
-
- /** textual specification of the binding, can be NULL */
- const char *specification;
-
- /** some info about the api, can be NULL */
- const char *info;
-
- /** array of descriptions of verbs terminated by a NULL name, can be NULL */
- const struct afb_verb_v3 *verbs;
-
- /** callback at load of the binding */
- int (*preinit)(struct afb_api_x3 *api);
-
- /** callback for starting the service */
- int (*init)(struct afb_api_x3 *api);
-
- /** callback for handling events */
- void (*onevent)(struct afb_api_x3 *api, const char *event, struct json_object *object);
-
- /** userdata for afb_api_x3 */
- void *userdata;
-
- /** space separated list of provided class(es) */
- const char *provide_class;
-
- /** space separated list of required class(es) */
- const char *require_class;
-
- /** space separated list of required API(es) */
- const char *require_api;
-
- /** avoids concurrent requests to verbs */
- unsigned noconcurrency: 1;
-};
-```
-
-## The type afb_verb_t
-
-Each verb is described with a structure of type **afb_verb_t**
-defined below:
-
-```C
-typedef struct afb_verb_v3 afb_verb_t;
-```
-
-```C
-/**
- * Description of one verb as provided for binding API version 3
- */
-struct afb_verb_v3
-{
- /** name of the verb, NULL only at end of the array */
- const char *verb;
-
- /** callback function implementing the verb */
- void (*callback)(afb_req_t_x2 *req);
-
- /** required authorization, can be NULL */
- const struct afb_auth *auth;
-
- /** some info about the verb, can be NULL */
- const char *info;
-
- /**< data for the verb callback */
- void *vcbdata;
-
- /** authorization and session requirements of the verb */
- uint16_t session;
-
- /** is the verb glob name */
- uint16_t glob: 1;
-};
-```
-
-The **session** flags is one of the constant defined below:
-
-| Name | Description
-|:----------------------:|------------------------------------------------------
-| AFB_SESSION_NONE | no flag, synonym to 0
-| AFB_SESSION_LOA_0 | Requires the LOA to be 0 or more, synonym to 0 or AFB_SESSION_NONE
-| AFB_SESSION_LOA_1 | Requires the LOA to be 1 or more
-| AFB_SESSION_LOA_2 | Requires the LOA to be 2 or more
-| AFB_SESSION_LOA_3 | Requires the LOA to be 3 or more
-| AFB_SESSION_CHECK | Requires the token to be set and valid
-| AFB_SESSION_REFRESH | Implies a token refresh
-| AFB_SESSION_CLOSE | Implies closing the session after request processed
-
-The LOA (Level Of Assurance) is set, by binding api, using the function **afb_req_session_set_LOA**.
-
-The session can be closed, by binding api, using the function **afb_req_session_close**.
-
-## The types afb_auth_t and afb_auth_type_t
-
-The structure **afb_auth_t** is used within verb description to
-set security requirements.
-The interpretation of the structure depends on the value of the field **type**.
-
-```C
-typedef struct afb_auth afb_auth_t;
-
-/**
- * Definition of an authorization entry
- */
-struct afb_auth
-{
- /** type of entry @see afb_auth_type */
- enum afb_auth_type type;
-
- union {
- /** text when @ref type == @ref afb_auth_Permission */
- const char *text;
-
- /** level of assurancy when @ref type == @ref afb_auth_LOA */
- unsigned loa;
-
- /** first child when @ref type in { @ref afb_auth_Or, @ref afb_auth_And, @ref afb_auth_Not } */
- const struct afb_auth *first;
- };
-
- /** second child when @ref type in { @ref afb_auth_Or, @ref afb_auth_And } */
- const struct afb_auth *next;
-};
-
-```
-
-The possible values for **type** is defined here:
-
-```C
-typedef enum afb_auth_type afb_auth_type_t;
-
-/**
- * Enumeration for authority (Session/Token/Assurance) definitions.
- *
- * @see afb_auth
- */
-enum afb_auth_type
-{
- /** never authorized, no data */
- afb_auth_No = 0,
-
- /** authorized if token valid, no data */
- afb_auth_Token,
-
- /** authorized if LOA greater than or equal to data 'loa' */
- afb_auth_LOA,
-
- /** authorized if permission 'text' is granted */
- afb_auth_Permission,
-
- /** authorized if 'first' or 'next' is authorized */
- afb_auth_Or,
-
- /** authorized if 'first' and 'next' are authorized */
- afb_auth_And,
-
- /** authorized if 'first' is not authorized */
- afb_auth_Not,
-
- /** always authorized, no data */
- afb_auth_Yes
-};
-```
-
-Example:
-
-```C
-static const afb_auth_t myauth[] = {
- { .type = afb_auth_Permission, .text = "urn:AGL:permission:me:public:set" },
- { .type = afb_auth_Permission, .text = "urn:AGL:permission:me:public:get" },
- { .type = afb_auth_Or, .first = &myauth[1], .next = &myauth[0] }
-};
-```
-
-
-## The type afb_req_subcall_flags_t
-
-This is an enumeration that defines bit's positions for setting behaviour
-of subcalls.
-
-| flag | value | description
-|----------------------------|-------|--------------
-| afb_req_subcall_catch_events | 1 | the calling API wants to receive the events from subscription
-| afb_req_subcall_pass_events | 2 | the original request will receive the events from subscription
-| afb_req_subcall_on_behalf | 4 | the calling API wants to use the credentials of the original request
-| afb_req_subcall_api_session | 8 | the calling API wants to use its session instead of the one of the original request
-
-ii. MACROS FOR LOGGING
-=================
-
-The final behaviour of macros can be tuned using 2 defines that must be defined
-before including **<afb/afb-binding.h>**.
-
-| define | action
-|---------------------------------------|--------------------
-| AFB_BINDING_PRAGMA_NO_VERBOSE_DATA | show file and line, remove function and text message
-| AFB_BINDING_PRAGMA_NO_VERBOSE_DETAILS | show text, remove function, line and file
-
-## Logging for an api
-
-The following macros must be used for logging for an **api** of type
-**afb_api_t**.
-
-```C
-AFB_API_ERROR(api,fmt,...)
-AFB_API_WARNING(api,fmt,...)
-AFB_API_NOTICE(api,fmt,...)
-AFB_API_INFO(api,fmt,...)
-AFB_API_DEBUG(api,fmt,...)
-```
-
-## Logging for a request
-
-
-The following macros can be used for logging in the context
-of a request **req** of type **afb_req_t**:
-
-```C
-AFB_REQ_ERROR(req,fmt,...)
-AFB_REQ_WARNING(req,fmt,...)
-AFB_REQ_NOTICE(req,fmt,...)
-AFB_REQ_INFO(req,fmt,...)
-AFB_REQ_DEBUG(req,fmt,...)
-```
-
-By default, the logging macros add file, line and function
-indication.
-
-## Logging legacy
-
-The following macros are provided for legacy.
-
-```C
-AFB_ERROR(fmt,...)
-AFB_WARNING(fmt,...)
-AFB_NOTICE(fmt,...)
-AFB_INFO(fmt,...)
-AFB_DEBUG(fmt,...)
-```
