    $Module std 3 "Varnish Standard Module"

    DESCRIPTION
    ===========

    .. note: not using :ref:`vmod_std(3)` because it expands to "VMOD
       std - Varnish Standard Module" and here just the plan vmod name
       makes more sense.

    *vmod_std* contains basic functions which are part and parcel of
    Varnish, but which for reasons of architecture fit better in a VMOD.

    Numeric functions
    =================

    $Function REAL random(REAL lo, REAL hi)

    Returns a random real number between *lo* and *hi*.

    This function uses the "testable" random generator in varnishd which
    enables determinstic tests to be run (See ``m00002.vtc``).  This
    function should not be used for cryptographic applications.

    Example::

    	set beresp.http.random-number = std.random(1, 100);

    $Function REAL round(REAL r)

    Rounds the real *r* to the nearest integer, but round halfway cases
    away from zero (see `round(3)`).

    String functions
    ================

    $Function VOID collect(HEADER hdr, STRING sep=", ")

    Collapses multiple *hdr* headers into one long header. The default
    separator *sep* is the standard comma separator to use when collapsing
    headers, with an additional whitespace for pretty printing.

    Care should be taken when collapsing headers. In particular collapsing
    ``Set-Cookie`` will lead to unexpected results on the browser side.

    Examples::

    	std.collect(req.http.accept);
    	std.collect(req.http.cookie, "; ");

    $Function STRING querysort(STRING)

    Sorts the query string for cache normalization purposes.

    Example::

    	set req.url = std.querysort(req.url);

    $Function STRING toupper(STRANDS s)

    Converts the string *s* to uppercase.

    Example::

    	set beresp.http.scream = std.toupper("yes!");

    $Function STRING tolower(STRANDS s)

    Converts the string *s* to lowercase.

    Example::

    	set beresp.http.nice = std.tolower("VerY");

    $Function STRING strstr(STRING s1, STRING s2)

    Returns a string beginning at the first occurrence of the string *s2*
    in the string *s1*, or an empty string if *s2* is not found.

    Note that the comparison is case sensitive.

    Example::

    	if (std.strstr(req.url, req.http.restrict)) {
    		...
    	}

    This will check if the content of ``req.http.restrict`` occurs
    anywhere in ``req.url``.

    $Function BOOL fnmatch(STRING pattern, STRING subject, BOOL pathname=1,
    		       BOOL noescape=0, BOOL period=0)

    Shell-style pattern matching; returns ``true`` if *subject* matches
    *pattern*, where *pattern* may contain wildcard characters such as ``*``
    or ``?``.

    The match is executed by the implementation of `fnmatch(3)` on your
    system. The rules for pattern matching on most systems include the
    following:

    * ``*`` matches any sequence of characters

    * ``?`` matches a single character

    * a bracket expression such as ``[abc]`` or ``[!0-9]`` is interpreted
      as a character class according to the rules of basic regular
      expressions (*not* `pcre(3)` regexen), except that ``!`` is used for
      character class negation instead of ``^``.

    If *pathname* is ``true``, then the forward slash character ``/`` is
    only matched literally, and never matches ``*``, ``?`` or a bracket
    expression. Otherwise, ``/`` may match one of those patterns.  By
    default, *pathname* is ``true``.

    If *noescape* is ``true``, then the backslash character ``\`` is
    matched as an ordinary character. Otherwise, ``\`` is an escape
    character, and matches the character that follows it in the
    *pattern*. For example, ``\\`` matches ``\`` when *noescape* is
    ``true``, and ``\\`` when ``false``. By default, *noescape* is
    ``false``.

    If *period* is ``true``, then a leading period character ``.`` only
    matches literally, and never matches ``*``, ``?`` or a bracket
    expression. A period is leading if it is the first character in
    *subject*; if *pathname* is also ``true``, then a period that
    immediately follows a ``/`` is also leading (as in ``/.``).  By
    default, *period* is ``false``.

    `std.fnmatch()`_ invokes VCL failure and returns ``false`` if
    either of *pattern* or *subject* is ``NULL`` -- for example, if an
    unset header is specified.

    Examples::

    	# Matches URLs such as /foo/bar and /foo/baz
    	if (std.fnmatch("/foo/\*", req.url)) { ... }

    	# Matches URLs such as /foo/bar/baz and /foo/baz/quux
    	if (std.fnmatch("/foo/\*/\*", bereq.url)) { ... }

    	# Matches /foo/bar/quux, but not /foo/bar/baz/quux
    	if (std.fnmatch("/foo/\*/quux", req.url)) { ... }

    	# Matches /foo/bar/quux and /foo/bar/baz/quux
    	if (std.fnmatch("/foo/\*/quux", req.url, pathname=false)) { ... }

    	# Matches /foo/bar, /foo/car and /foo/far
    	if (std.fnmatch("/foo/?ar", req.url)) { ... }

    	# Matches /foo/ followed by a non-digit
    	if (std.fnmatch("/foo/[!0-9]", req.url)) { ... }

    File(system) functions
    ======================

    $Function STRING fileread(PRIV_CALL, STRING)

    Reads a file and returns a string with the content. The result is
    cached indefinitely per filename.

    This function should not be used for reading binary files.

    Example::

    	synthetic("Response was served by " + std.fileread("/etc/hostname"));

    Consider that the entire contents of the file appear in the string
    that is returned, including newlines that may result in invalid
    headers if `std.fileread()`_ is used to form a header. In that
    case, you may need to modify the string, for example with
    ``regsub()`` (see :ref:`vcl(7)`)::

      set beresp.http.served-by = regsub(std.fileread("/etc/hostname"), "\R$", "");

    $Function BOOL file_exists(STRING path)

    Returns ``true`` if path or the file pointed to by path exists,
    ``false`` otherwise.

    Example::

    	if (std.file_exists("/etc/return_503")) {
    		return (synth(503, "Varnish is in maintenance"));
    	}

    Type Inspection functions
    =========================

    $Function BOOL healthy(BACKEND be)

    Returns ``true`` if the backend *be* is healthy.

    $Function INT port(IP ip)

    Returns the port number of the IP address *ip*. Always returns ``0``
    for a ``*.ip`` variable when the address is a Unix domain socket.

    Type Conversion functions
    =========================

    These functions all have the same form::

    	TYPE type([arguments], [fallback TYPE])

    Precisely one of the *arguments* must be provided (besides the
    optional *fallback*), and it will be converted to *TYPE*.

    If conversion fails, *fallback* will be returned and if no
    fallback was specified, the VCL will be failed.

    $Function DURATION duration([STRING s], [DURATION fallback],
        [REAL real], [INT integer])

    Returns a DURATION from a STRING, REAL or INT argument.

    For a STRING *s* argument, *s* must be quantified by ``ms``
    (milliseconds), ``s`` (seconds), ``m`` (minutes), ``h`` (hours),``d``
    (days), ``w`` (weeks) or ``y`` (years) units.

    *real* and *integer* arguments are taken as seconds.

    If the conversion of an *s* argument fails, *fallback* will be
    returned if provided, or a VCL failure will be triggered.

    Conversions from *real* and *integer* arguments never fail.

    Only one of the *s*, *real* or *integer* arguments may be given or a VCL
    failure will be triggered.

    Examples::
    	set beresp.ttl = std.duration("1w", 3600s);
    	set beresp.ttl = std.duration(real=1.5);
    	set beresp.ttl = std.duration(integer=10);

    $Function BYTES bytes([STRING s], [BYTES fallback], [REAL real], [INT integer])

    Returns BYTES from a STRING, REAL or INT argument.

    A STRING *s* argument can be quantified with a multiplier (``k``
    (kilo), ``m`` (mega), ``g`` (giga), ``t`` (tera) or ``p`` (peta)).

    *real* and *integer* arguments are taken as bytes.

    If the conversion of an *s* argument fails, *fallback* will be
    returned if provided, or a VCL failure will be triggered.

    Other conversions may fail if the argument can not be represented,
    because it is negative, too small or too large. Again, *fallback* will
    be returned if provided, or a VCL failure will be triggered.

    *real* arguments will be rounded down.

    Only one of the *s*, *real* or *integer* arguments may be given or a VCL
    failure will be triggered.

    Example::
    	std.cache_req_body(std.bytes(something.somewhere, 10K));
    	std.cache_req_body(std.bytes(integer=10*1024));
    	std.cache_req_body(std.bytes(real=10.0*1024));

    $Function INT integer([STRING s], [INT fallback],
        [BOOL bool], [BYTES bytes], [DURATION duration], [REAL real],
        [TIME time])

    Returns an INT from a STRING, BOOL or other quantity.

    If the conversion of an *s* argument fails, *fallback* will be
    returned if provided, or a VCL failure will be triggered.

    A *bool* argument will be returned as 0 for ``false`` and 1 for
    ``true``. This conversion will never fail.

    For a *bytes* argument, the number of bytes will be returned.  This
    conversion will never fail.

    A *duration* argument will be rounded down to the number of seconds
    and returned.

    A *real* argument will be rounded down and returned.

    For a *time* argument, the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch
    (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) will be returned.

    *duration*, *real* and *time* conversions may fail if the argument can
    not be represented because it is too small or too large. If so,
    *fallback* will be returned if provided, or a VCL failure will be
    triggered.

    Only one of the *s*, *bool*, *bytes*, *duration*, *real* or *time*
    arguments may be given or a VCL failure will be triggered.

    Examples::

    	if (std.integer(req.http.foo, 0) > 5) {
    		...
    	}

    	set resp.http.answer = std.integer(real=126.42/3);

    $Function IP ip(STRING s, [IP fallback], BOOL resolve = 1, [STRING p])

    Converts the string *s* to the first IP number returned by the system
    library function `getaddrinfo(3)`. If conversion fails, *fallback* will
    be returned or VCL failure will happen.

    The IP address includes a port number that can be found with ``std.port()``
    that defaults to 80. The default port can be set to a different value with
    the *p* argument. It will be overriden if *s* contains both an IP address
    and a port number or service name.

    When *s* contains both, the syntax is either ``address:port`` or
    ``address port``. If the address is a numerical IPv6 address it must be
    enclosed between brackets, for example ``[::1] 80`` or ``[::1]:http``.
    The *fallback* may also contain both an address and a port, but its default
    port is always 80.

    If *resolve* is false, `getaddrinfo(3)` is called using ``AI_NUMERICHOST``
    and ``AI_NUMERICSERV`` to avoid network lookups depending on the system's
    `getaddrinfo(3)` or nsswitch configuration. This makes "numerical" IP
    strings and services cheaper to convert.

    Example::

    	if (std.ip(req.http.X-forwarded-for, "0.0.0.0") ~ my_acl) {
    		...
    	}

    $Function REAL real([STRING s], [REAL fallback], [INT integer],
        [BOOL bool], [BYTES bytes], [DURATION duration],
        [TIME time])

    Returns a REAL from a STRING, BOOL or other quantity.

    If the conversion of an *s* argument fails, *fallback* will be
    returned if provided, or a VCL failure will be triggered.

    A *bool* argument will be returned as 0.0 for ``false`` and 1.0 for
    ``true``.

    For a *bytes* argument, the number of bytes will be returned.

    For a *duration* argument, the number of seconds will be returned.

    An *integer* argument will be returned as a REAL.

    For a *time* argument, the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch
    (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) will be returned.

    None of these conversions other than *s* will fail.

    Only one of the *s*, *integer*, *bool*, *bytes*, *duration* or *time*
    arguments may be given or a VCL failure will be triggered.

    Example::

    	if (std.real(req.http.foo, 0.0) > 5.5) {
    		...
    	}

    $Function TIME time([STRING s], [TIME fallback], [REAL real], [INT integer])

    Returns a TIME from a STRING, REAL or INT argument.

    For a STRING *s* argument, the following formats are supported::

    	"Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT"
    	"Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT"
    	"Sun Nov  6 08:49:37 1994"
    	"1994-11-06T08:49:37"
    	"784111777.00"
    	"784111777"

    *real* and *integer* arguments are taken as seconds since the epoch.

    If the conversion of an *s* argument fails or a negative *real* or
    *integer* argument is given, *fallback* will be returned if provided,
    or a VCL failure will be triggered.

    Examples::

    	if (std.time(resp.http.last-modified, now) < now - 1w) {
    		...
    	}

    	if (std.time(int=2147483647) < now - 1w) {
    		...
    	}

    LOGGING functions
    =================

    $Function VOID log(STRANDS s)

    Logs the string *s* to the shared memory log, using :ref:`vsl(7)` tag
    ``SLT_VCL_Log``.

    Example::

    	std.log("Something fishy is going on with the vhost " + req.http.host);

    $Function VOID syslog(INT priority, STRANDS s)

    Logs the string *s* to syslog tagged with *priority*. *priority* is
    formed by ORing the facility and level values. See your system's
    ``syslog.h`` file for possible values.

    Notice: Unlike VCL and other functions in the std vmod, this function
    will not fail VCL processing for workspace overflows: For an out of
    workspace condition, the `std.syslog()`_ function has no effect.

    Example::

    	std.syslog(9, "Something is wrong");

    This will send a message to syslog using ``LOG_USER | LOG_ALERT``.

    $Function VOID timestamp(STRING s)

    Introduces a timestamp in the log with the current time, using the
    string *s* as the label. This is useful to time the execution of lengthy
    VCL subroutines, and makes the timestamps inserted automatically by
    Varnish more accurate.

    Example::

    	std.timestamp("curl-request");

    CONTROL and INFORMATION functions
    =================================

    $Function BOOL syntax(REAL)

    Returns ``true`` if VCL version is at least *REAL*.

    $Function STRING getenv(STRING name)

    Return environment variable *name* or the empty string. See `getenv(3)`.

    Example::

    	set req.http.My-Env = std.getenv("MY_ENV");

    $Function BOOL cache_req_body(BYTES size)

    Caches the request body if it is smaller than *size*.  Returns
    ``true`` if the body was cached, ``false`` otherwise.

    Normally the request body can only be sent once. Caching it enables
    retrying backend requests with a request body, as usually the case
    with ``POST`` and ``PUT``.

    Example::

    	if (std.cache_req_body(1KB)) {
    		...
    	}

    $Function VOID late_100_continue(BOOL late)

    Controls when varnish reacts to an ``Expect: 100-continue`` client
    request header.

    Varnish always generates a ``100 Continue`` response if requested by
    the client trough the ``Expect: 100-continue`` header when waiting for
    request body data.

    But, by default, the ``100 Continue`` response is already generated
    immediately after ``vcl_recv`` returns to reduce latencies under the
    assumption that the request body will be read eventually.

    Calling ``std.late_100_continue(true)`` in ``vcl_recv`` will cause the
    ``100 Continue`` response to only be sent when needed. This may cause
    additional latencies for processing request bodies, but is the correct
    behavior by strict interpretation of RFC7231.

    This function has no effect outside ``vcl_recv`` and after calling
    ``std.cache_req_body()`` or any other function consuming the request
    body.

    Example::

    	vcl_recv {
    		std.late_100_continue(true);

    		if (req.method == "POST") {
    			std.late_100_continue(false);
    			return (pass);
    		}
    		...
    	 }

    $Function VOID set_ip_tos(INT tos)

    Sets the IP type-of-service (TOS) field for the current session to
    *tos*. Silently ignored if the listen address is a Unix domain socket.

    Please note that the TOS field is not removed by the end of the
    request so probably want to set it on every request should you utilize
    it.

    Example::

    	if (req.url ~ "^/slow/") {
    		std.set_ip_tos(0);
    	}

    $Function VOID rollback(HTTP h)

    Restores the *h* HTTP headers to their original state.

    Example::

    	std.rollback(bereq);

    DEPRECATED functions
    ====================

    $Function INT real2integer(REAL r, INT fallback)

    **DEPRECATED**: This function will be removed in a future version of
    varnish, use `std.integer()`_ with a *real* argument and the
    `std.round()`_ function instead, for example::

    	std.integer(real=std.round(...), fallback=...)

    Rounds the real *r* to the nearest integer, but round halfway cases
    away from zero (see `round(3)`). If conversion fails, *fallback* will
    be returned.

    Examples::

    	set req.http.integer = std.real2integer(1140618699.00, 0);
    	set req.http.posone = real2integer( 0.5, 0);	# =  1.0
    	set req.http.negone = real2integer(-0.5, 0);	# = -1.0

    $Function TIME real2time(REAL r, TIME fallback)

    **DEPRECATED**: This function will be removed in a future version of
    varnish, use `std.time()`_ with a *real* argument and the
    `std.round()`_ function instead, for example::

    	std.time(real=std.round(...), fallback=...)

    Rounds the real *r* to the nearest integer (see
    `std.real2integer()`_) and returns the corresponding time when
    interpreted as a unix epoch. If conversion fails, *fallback* will be
    returned.

    Example::

    	set req.http.time = std.real2time(1140618699.00, now);

    $Function INT time2integer(TIME t, INT fallback)

    **DEPRECATED**: This function will be removed in a future version of
    varnish, use `std.integer()`_ with a *time* argument instead, for
    example::

    	std.integer(time=..., fallback=...)

    Converts the time *t* to a integer. If conversion fails,
    *fallback* will be returned.

    Example::

    	set req.http.int = std.time2integer(now, 0);

    $Function REAL time2real(TIME t, REAL fallback)

    **DEPRECATED**: This function will be removed in a future version of
    varnish, use `std.real()`_ with a *time* argument instead, for
    example::

    	std.real(time=..., fallback=...)

    Converts the time *t* to a real. If conversion fails, *fallback* will
    be returned.

    Example::

    	set req.http.real = std.time2real(now, 1.0);
