+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions can be used by daemons to notify
+.Xr blocklistd 8
+about successful and failed remote connections so that blocklistd can
+block or release port access to prevent Denial of Service attacks.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn blocklist_open
+creates the necessary state to communicate with
+.Xr blocklistd 8
+and returns a pointer to it, or
+.Dv NULL
+on failure.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn blocklist_open2
+is similar to
+.Fn blocklist_open
+but allows a
+.Fa logger
+to be specified.
+If the
+.Fa logger
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+then no logging is performed.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn blocklist_close
+function frees all memory and resources used.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn blocklist
+function sends a message to
+.Xr blocklistd 8 ,
+with an integer
+.Ar action
+argument specifying the type of notification,
+a file descriptor
+.Ar fd
+specifying the accepted file descriptor connected to the client,
+and an optional message in the
+.Ar msg
+argument.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar action
+parameter can take these values:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Dv BLOCKLIST_ABUSIVE_BEHAVIOR"
+.It Va BLOCKLIST_BAD_USER
+The sending daemon has determined the username presented for
+authentication is invalid.
+This is considered as one failure count.
+.It Va BLOCKLIST_AUTH_FAIL
+There was an unsuccessful authentication attempt.
+This is considered as two failure counts together.
+.It Va BLOCKLIST_ABUSIVE_BEHAVIOR
+The sending daemon has detected abusive behavior from the remote system.
+This is considered as a total immediate failure.
+The remote address will be blocked as soon as possible.
+.It Va BLOCKLIST_AUTH_OK
+A valid user successfully authenticated.
+Any entry for the remote address will be removed as soon as possible.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn blocklist_r
+function is more efficient because it keeps the blocklist state around.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn blocklist_sa
+and
+.Fn blocklist_sa_r
+functions can be used with unconnected sockets, where
+.Xr getpeername 2
+will not work, the server will pass the peer name in the message.
+.Pp
+In all cases the file descriptor passed in the
+.Fa fd
+argument must be pointing to a valid socket so that
+.Xr blocklistd 8
+can establish ownership of the local endpoint
+using
+.Xr getsockname 2 .
+.Pp
+By default,
+.Xr syslogd 8
+is used for message logging.
+The internal
+.Fn bl_create
+function can be used to create the required internal
+state and specify a custom logging function.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The function
+.Fn blocklist_open
+returns a cookie on success and
+.Dv NULL
+on failure setting
+.Dv errno
+to an appropriate value.
+.Pp
+The functions
+.Fn blocklist ,
+.Fn blocklist_sa ,
+and
+.Fn blocklist_sa_r
+return
+.Dv 0
+on success and
+.Dv \-1
+on failure setting
+.Dv errno
+to an appropriate value.
