**Control Command** is a mechanism of [[Management|NFD Management protocol]]. This mechanism is useful for altering the state of the forwarder.
6 28 Davide Pesavento
This document defines the request and response format of such commands, and how they should be signed and authenticated.

## Request format
9 9 Anonymous
10 26 Junxiao Shi
Control commands are [[ndn-cxx:CommandInterest|Command Interests]] under a NFD management prefix.
11 1 Junxiao Shi
12 22 Junxiao Shi
The Name for a request Interest has the following form:
13 1 Junxiao Shi
14 26 Junxiao Shi
    /<prefix>/<management-module>/<command-verb>/<control-parameters>/<command-interest-components>
15 1 Junxiao Shi
16 23 Junxiao Shi
* *prefix* is a NFD management prefix.
17
  Unless otherwise noted, all commands use `/localhost/nfd` prefix.
18
  Each individual command MAY specify additional prefixes under which that command could be accepted.
19 22 Junxiao Shi
* *management-module* is the name of management module to which the command needs to be dispatched.
20
* *command-verb* is the command to be executed.
21 37 Junxiao Shi
* *control-parameters* is a ControlParameters TLV element wrapped in a NameComponent.
22 26 Junxiao Shi
* *command-interest-components* are four additional components defined by [[ndn-cxx:CommandInterest|Command Interest]] spec.

    ; FacePersistency is defined in FaceMgmt section
87
88 17 Junxiao Shi
This definition exhausts all possible fields used in existing commands.
89 1 Junxiao Shi
90 35 Junxiao Shi
Each individual command MUST specify:
91
92 36 Davide Pesavento
* a list of required fields: those fields MUST be present
93
* a list of optional fields: those fields MAY be present
94 35 Junxiao Shi
* the semantics of each required and optional field
95
96 36 Davide Pesavento
A field that is neither required nor optional for a command MUST NOT be present in a ControlParameter given to that command.
97
98 1 Junxiao Shi
Each individual command MAY impose additional constraints on certain fields.
99 35 Junxiao Shi
100 36 Davide Pesavento
### Flags and Mask
101 35 Junxiao Shi
102 1 Junxiao Shi
Various commands collect multiple boolean attributes into the **Flags** field as an inclusive OR.
103
Each individual command that uses the Flags field MUST define the meaning of each bit. In the definition, "bit 0" refers to the least significant bit.
104
105 37 Junxiao Shi
The **Mask** field, if accepted by a command, indicates which attributes are being updated.
106 1 Junxiao Shi
In such cases, Flags field and Mask field must be both present or both omitted in the request.
107
Bits in the Mask field are arranged in the same order as the Flags field.
108
For example, if a command defines two flags at bit 0 and bit 1 and also accepts a Mask field, a request containing "Flags=0x02 Mask=0x02" specifies bit 1 as "true" and specifies bit 0 as "don't care, leave at default, or keep unchanged"; this request is equivalent to a request containing "Flags=0x03 Mask=0x02".
109 26 Junxiao Shi
110 1 Junxiao Shi
If a command does not accept the **Mask** field, it SHOULD interpret every bit in Flags, and there is no "don't care" bits.
111
112
## Response format
113
114
A response from the command interface is a Data that matches the request Interest.
115 13 Junxiao Shi
The payload of this Data is a ControlResponse element.

### StatusCode
131 13 Junxiao Shi
132 2 Junxiao Shi
StatusCode loosely follows the HTTP semantics described in [RFC 7231](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6).
133 16 Junxiao Shi
134 28 Davide Pesavento
* Codes between 100 and 399 represent a success.
135 1 Junxiao Shi
* Codes between 400 and 499 represent a client error.
136
* Codes between 500 and 599 represent a server error.
137
138 19 Junxiao Shi
Common codes include:

154 13 Junxiao Shi
155 1 Junxiao Shi
