🔧 Usage
Configuration Management
The system supports flexible configuration through INI-format configuration files:
Configuration File Format
# Example configuration file (sdfx.conf)
[transport]
tcp_host = 127.0.0.1
tcp_port = 19790
unix_path = /tmp/sdfxd_custom.sock
unix_permissions = 0666
[daemon]
worker_threads = 8
max_clients = 100
session_timeout = 300
[client]
connect_timeout = 5000
request_timeout = 30000
retry_count = 3
Configuration File Locations
The client automatically searches for configuration files in the following order:
./sdfx.conf(current directory)../config/sdfx.conf(config directory)/etc/sdfx/sdfx.conf(system directory)
If no configuration file is found, the system uses built-in defaults.
Starting the Daemon
# Start with default configuration
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/openhitls_install/lib ./sdfxd/sdfxd
# Start with custom configuration file
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/openhitls_install/lib ./sdfxd/sdfxd -c /path/to/config.conf
# Show help
./sdfxd/sdfxd --help
Transport Mode Defaults
- TCP mode: Listens on
127.0.0.1:19790by default - Unix socket mode: Listens on
/tmp/sdfxd.sockby default
Command Line Options
Usage: sdfxd [OPTIONS]

Adding New Algorithms
With the modular architecture, adding new algorithms is straightforward:
- Add algorithm constants to
include/sdfx_types.h - Implement crypto wrapper in appropriate
sdfxd/src/crypto_*.cmodule - Add protocol handling in
sdfxd/src/protocol_handler.c - Create API wrapper in corresponding
sdk/src/sdf_*.cmodule:- Random algorithms →
sdf_random.c - Hash algorithms →
sdf_hash.c - Symmetric ciphers →
sdf_symmetric.c - Asymmetric operations →
sdf_asymmetric.c - New categories → create new
sdf_newcategory.c
- Random algorithms →
- Add module registration to
sdfx_api.c(if new category) - Add test coverage in
tests/
Example - Adding AES Algorithm:
// 1. Add to sdfx_types.h
#define SGD_AES_128_ECB 0x00000801
// 2. Implement in sdfxd/src/crypto_symmetric.c
LONG crypto_aes_encrypt(session_ctx_t *session, ...);
// 3. Add to sdk/src/sdf_symmetric.c
// Use existing SDF_Encrypt() with new algorithm ID
// 4. Test in tests/test_symmetric.c
test_aes_encryption();
Thread Pool Architecture
The daemon uses a high-performance thread pool system:
// Thread pool management
int thread_pool_create(int thread_count); // Create worker threads
int thread_pool_submit(function, arg); // Submit task to queue
void thread_pool_destroy(void); // Clean shutdown
// Architecture flow
Accept Thread → Task Queue → Worker Pool (8 threads)
↓ ├── Worker 1
Client Task ├── Worker 2
├── ...
└── Worker 8
Benefits:
- 🚀 Zero thread creation overhead for client connections
- 🎯 Resource control with fixed thread count (8 workers)
- ⚡ Improved response time with pre-allocated threads
- 🛡️ Enhanced stability avoiding thread creation/destruction storms
