 # Binding Reference
 
-## Structure for declaring binding
 
-### 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;
-};
-```
-
-### struct 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:
-
-- 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**.
-
-### 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 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] }
-};
-```
-
-## Functions of class afb_daemon
-
-The 3 following functions are linked to libsystemd.  
-They allow use of **sd_event** features and access
-to **sd_bus** features.
-
-```C
-/*
- * Retrieves the common systemd's event loop of AFB 
- * 
- */
-struct sd_event *afb_daemon_get_event_loop();
-
-/*
- * Retrieves the common systemd's user/session d-bus of AFB if active
- */
-struct sd_bus *afb_daemon_get_user_bus();
-
-/*
- * Retrieves the common systemd's system d-bus of AFB if active or NULL
- */
-struct sd_bus *afb_daemon_get_system_bus();
-```
-
-The 2 following functions are linked to event management.  
-Broadcasting an event send it to any possible listener.
-
-```C
-/*
- * Broadcasts widely the event of 'name' with the data 'object'.
- * 'object' can be NULL.
- *
- * For convenience, the function calls 'json_object_put' for 'object'.
- * Thus, in the case where 'object' should remain available after
- * the function returns, the function 'json_object_get' shall be used.
- *
- * Calling this function is only forbidden during preinit.
- *
- * Returns the count of clients that received the event.
- */
-int afb_daemon_broadcast_event(const char *name, struct json_object *object);
-
-/*
- * Creates an event of 'name' and returns it.
- *
- * Calling this function is only forbidden during preinit.
- *
- * See afb_event_is_valid to check if there is an error.
- */
-afb_event_t afb_daemon_make_event(const char *name);
-```
-
-The following function is used by logging macros and should normally
-not be used.  
-Instead, you should use the macros:
-
-- **AFB\_ERROR**
-- **AFB\_WARNING**
-- **AFB\_NOTICE**
-- **AFB\_INFO**
-- **AFB\_DEBUG**
-
-```C
-/*
- * Send a message described by 'fmt' and following parameters
- * to the journal for the verbosity 'level'.
- *
- * 'file', 'line' and 'func' are indicators of position of the code in source files
- * (see macros __FILE__, __LINE__ and __func__).
- *
- * 'level' is defined by syslog standard:
- *      EMERGENCY         0        System is unusable
- *      ALERT             1        Action must be taken immediately
- *      CRITICAL          2        Critical conditions
- *      ERROR             3        Error conditions
- *      WARNING           4        Warning conditions
- *      NOTICE            5        Normal but significant condition
- *      INFO              6        Informational
- *      DEBUG             7        Debug-level messages
- */
-void afb_daemon_verbose(int level, const char *file, int line, const char * func, const char *fmt, ...);
-```
-
-The 2 following functions MUST be used to access data of the bindings.
-
-```C
-/*
- * Get the root directory file descriptor. This file descriptor can
- * be used with functions 'openat', 'fstatat', ...
- */
-int afb_daemon_rootdir_get_fd();
-
-/*
- * Opens 'filename' within the root directory with 'flags' (see function openat)
- * using the 'locale' definition (example: "jp,en-US") that can be NULL.
- * Returns the file descriptor or -1 in case of error.
- */
-int afb_daemon_rootdir_open_locale(const char *filename, int flags, const char *locale);
-```
-
-The following function is used to queue jobs.
-
-```C
-/*
- * Queue the job defined by 'callback' and 'argument' for being executed asynchronously
- * in this thread (later) or in an other thread.
- * If 'group' is not NUL, the jobs queued with a same value (as the pointer value 'group')
- * are executed in sequence in the order of there submission.
- * If 'timeout' is not 0, it represent the maximum execution time for the job in seconds.
- * At first, the job is called with 0 as signum and the given argument.
- * The job is executed with the monitoring of its time and some signals like SIGSEGV and
- * SIGFPE. When a such signal is catched, the job is terminated and re-executed but with
- * signum being the signal number (SIGALRM when timeout expired).
- *
- * Returns 0 in case of success or -1 in case of error.
- */
-int afb_daemon_queue_job(void (*callback)(int signum, void *arg), void *argument, void *group, int timeout)
-```
-
-The following function must be used when a binding depends on other
-bindings at its initialization.
-
-```C
-/*
- * Tells that it requires the API of "name" to exist
- * and if 'initialized' is not null to be initialized.
- * Calling this function is only allowed within init.
- * Returns 0 in case of success or -1 in case of error.
- */
-int afb_daemon_require_api(const char *name, int initialized)
-```
-
-This function allows to give a different name to the binding.
-It can be called during pre-init.
-
-```C
-/*
- * Set the name of the API to 'name'.
- * Calling this function is only allowed within preinit.
- * Returns 0 in case of success or -1 in case of error.
- */
-int afb_daemon_rename_api(const char *name);
-```
-
-## Functions of class afb_service
-
-The following functions allow services to call verbs of other
-bindings for themselves.
-
-```C
-/**
- * Calls the 'verb' of the 'api' with the arguments 'args' and 'verb' in the name of the binding.
- * The result of the call is delivered to the 'callback' function with the 'callback_closure'.
- *
- * For convenience, the function calls 'json_object_put' for 'args'.
- * Thus, in the case where 'args' should remain available after
- * the function returns, the function 'json_object_get' shall be used.
- *
- * The 'callback' receives 3 arguments:
- *  1. 'closure' the user defined closure pointer 'callback_closure',
- *  2. 'status' a status being 0 on success or negative when an error occured,
- *  2. 'result' the resulting data as a JSON object.
- *
- * @param api      The api name of the method to call
- * @param verb     The verb name of the method to call
- * @param args     The arguments to pass to the method
- * @param callback The to call on completion
- * @param callback_closure The closure to pass to the callback
- *
- * @see also 'afb_req_subcall'
- */
-void afb_service_call(
-    const char *api,
-    const char *verb,
-    struct json_object *args,
-    void (*callback)(void*closure, int status, struct json_object *result),
-    void *callback_closure);
-
-/**
- * Calls the 'verb' of the 'api' with the arguments 'args' and 'verb' in the name of the binding.
- * 'result' will receive the response.
- *

-
-## Functions of class afb_event
-
-This function checks whether the event is valid.  
-It must be used when creating events.
-
-```C
-/*
- * Checks wether the 'event' is valid or not.
- *
- * Returns 0 if not valid or 1 if valid.
- */
-int afb_event_is_valid(afb_event_t event);
-```
-
-The two following functions are used to broadcast or push
-event with its data.
-
-```C
-/*

- * 'object' can be NULL.
- *
- * For convenience, the function calls 'json_object_put' for 'object'.

-
-The following function remove one reference to the event.
-
-```C
-/*
- * Decrease the reference count of the event.
- * After calling this function, the event
- * MUST NOT BE USED ANYMORE.
- */

+
+Consider use of the new reply
+-----------------------------
+
+The v3 allows error reply with JSON object. To achieve it, an unified
+reply function's family is introduced:
+
+```C
+void afb_req_reply(afb_req_t req, json_object *obj, const char *error, const char *info);
+void afb_req_reply_v(afb_req_t req, json_object *obj, const char *error, const char *info, va_list args);
+void afb_req_reply_f(afb_req_t req, json_object *obj, const char *error, const char *info, ...);
+```
+
+The functions **success** and **fail** are still supported.
+These functions are now implemented as the following macros:
+
+
+```C
+#define afb_req_success(r,o,i)		afb_req_reply(r,o,NULL,i)
+#define afb_req_success_f(r,o,...)	afb_req_reply_f(r,o,NULL,__VA_ARGS__)
+#define afb_req_success_v(r,o,f,v)	afb_req_reply_v(r,o,NULL,f,v)
+#define afb_req_fail(r,e,i)		afb_req_reply(r,NULL,e,i)
+#define afb_req_fail_f(r,e,...)		afb_req_reply_f(r,NULL,e,__VA_ARGS__)
+#define afb_req_fail_v(r,e,f,v)		afb_req_reply_v(r,NULL,e,f,v)
+```
+

+**afb_req_reply** or to keep the good old functions **afb_req_fail**
+adn **afb_req_success**.
+
+Consider use of the new (sub)call
+---------------------------------
+
+The new call and subcall (the functions **afb_api_call**, **afb_api_call_sync**,
+**afb_req_subcall** and **afb_req_subcall_sync**) functions are redesigned
+to better fit the new reply behaviour. In most case the developer will benefit
+of the new behavior that directly gives result and error without enforcing
+to parse the JSON object result.
+
+The subcall functions are also fully redesigned to allow precise handling
+of the context and event subscriptions. The new design allows you to specify:
+
+ - whether the subcall is made in the session of the caller or in the session
+   of the service
+ - whether the credentials to use are those of the caller or those of the
+   service
+ - whether the caller or the service or both or none will receive the
+   eventually events during the subcall.

+### struct afb_auth and enum afb_auth_type
+
+The structure **afb_auth** is used within verb description to
+set security requirements.
+The interpretation of the structure depends on the value of the field **type**.
+
+```C
+struct afb_auth
+{
+        const enum afb_auth_type type;
+        union {
+                const char *text;
+                const unsigned loa;
+                const struct afb_auth *first;
+        };
+        const struct afb_auth *next;
+};
+```
+
+The possible values for **type** is defined here:
+
+```C
+/*
+ * Enum for Session/Token/Assurance middleware.
+ */
+enum afb_auth_type
+{
+        afb_auth_No = 0,        /** never authorized, no data */
+        afb_auth_Token,         /** authorized if token valid, no data */
+        afb_auth_LOA,           /** authorized if LOA greater than data 'loa' */
+        afb_auth_Permission,    /** authorized if permission 'text' is granted */
+        afb_auth_Or,            /** authorized if 'first' or 'next' is authorized */
+        afb_auth_And,           /** authorized if 'first' and 'next' are authorized */
+        afb_auth_Not,           /** authorized if 'first' is not authorized */
+        afb_auth_Yes            /** always authorized, no data */
+};
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```C
+static const struct afb_auth _afb_auths_v2_monitor[] = {
+    { .type = afb_auth_Permission, .text = "urn:AGL:permission:monitor:public:set" },
+    { .type = afb_auth_Permission, .text = "urn:AGL:permission:monitor:public:get" },

+## Logging macros
+
+The following macros must be used for logging:
+
+```C
+AFB_ERROR(fmt,...)
+AFB_WARNING(fmt,...)
+AFB_NOTICE(fmt,...)
+AFB_INFO(fmt,...)
+AFB_DEBUG(fmt,...)
+```
+
+The following macros can be used for logging in the context
+of a request **req** of type **afb_req**:
+
+```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.

+The websocket protocol x-afb-ws-json1
+=====================================
+
+The WebSocket protocol *x-afb-ws-json1* is used to communicate between
+an application and a binder. It allows access to all registered apis
+of the binder.
+
+This protocol is inspired from the protocol **OCPP - SRPC** as described for
+example here:
+[OCPP transport specification - SRPC over WebSocket](http://www.gir.fr/ocppjs/ocpp_srpc_spec.shtml).
+
+The registration to the IANA is still to be done, see:
+[WebSocket Protocol Registries](https://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xml)
+
+This document gives a short description of the protocol *x-afb-ws-json1*.
+A more formal description has to be done.
+
+
+Architecture
+------------
+
+The protocol is intended to be symmetric. It allows:
+
+ - to CALL a remote procedure that returns a result
+ - to push and receive EVENT
+
+
+Messages
+--------
+
+Valid messages are made of *text* frames that are all valid JSON.
+
+Valid messages are:
+
+Calls:
+```
+[ 2, ID, PROCN, ARGS ]
+[ 2, ID, PROCN, ARGS, TOKEN ]
+```
+
+Replies (3: OK, 4: ERROR):
+```
+[ 3, ID, RESP ]
+[ 3, ID, RESP, TOKEN ]
+[ 4, ID, RESP ]
+[ 4, ID, RESP, TOKEN ]
+```
+
+Events:
+```
+[ 5, EVTN, OBJ ]
+```
+
+Where:
+
+| Field | Type   | Description
+|-------|--------|------------------
+| ID    | string | A string that identifies the call. A reply to that call use the ID of the CALL.
+| PROCN | string | The procedure name to call of the form "api/verb"
+| ARGS  | any    | Any argument to pass to the call (see afb_req_json that returns it)
+| RESP  | any    | The response to the call
+| TOKEN | string | The token in case of refresh
+| EVTN  | string | Name of the event in the form "api/event"
+| OBJ   | any    | The companion object of the event
+
+Below, an example of exchange:
+
+```
+C->S:   [2,"156","hello/ping",null]
+S->C:   [3,"156",{"response":"Some String","jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success","info":"Ping Binder Daemon tag=pingSample count=1 query=\"null\"","uuid":"ec30120c-6997-4529-9d63-c0de0cce56c0"}}]
+```
+
+
+Future
+------
+
+Here are the planned extensions:
+
+ - add binary messages with cbor data
+ - add calls with unstructured replies
+
+This could be implemented by extending the current protocol or by
+allowing the binder to accept either protocol including the new ones.
+
+
+Javascript implementation
+-------------------------
+
+The file **AFB.js** is a javascript implementation of the protocol.
+
+Here is that code:

+Macro 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,...)

+# Types and globals
+
+## The global afbBindingRoot
+
+The global **afbBindingRoot** of type **afb_api_t** is always implicitely
+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 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
+
