# smfi_insheader

SYNOPSIS |
    #include <libmilter/mfapi.h>
    int smfi_insheader(
    	SMFICTX *ctx,
    	int hdridx,
    	char *headerf,
    	char *headerv
    );
Prepend a header to the current message.
DESCRIPTION |
Called When | Called only from xxfi_eom.
Effects | Prepends a header to the current message.
ARGUMENTS |
Argument | Description
--- | ---
ctx | Opaque context structure.
hdridx | The location in the internal header list where this header should be inserted; 0 makes it the topmost header, etc.
headerf | The header name, a non-NULL, null-terminated string.
headerv | The header value to be added, a non-NULL, null-terminated string. This may be the empty string.
RETURN VALUES | smfi_insheader returns MI_FAILURE if: headerf or headerv is NULL. Adding headers in the current connection state is invalid. Memory allocation fails. A network error occurs. SMFIF_ADDHDRS was not set when smfi_register was called. Otherwise, it returns MI_SUCCESS.
NOTES | smfi_insheader does not change a message's existing headers. To change a header's current value, use smfi_chgheader. A filter which calls smfi_insheader must have set the SMFIF_ADDHDRS flag in the smfiDesc_str passed to smfi_register. For smfi_insheader, filter order is important. Later filters will see the header changes made by earlier ones. If hdridx is a number larger than the number of headers in the message, the header will simply be appended. Neither the name nor the value of the header is checked for standards compliance. However, each line of the header must be under 2048 characters and should be under 998 characters. If longer headers are needed, make them multi-line. To make a multi-line header, insert a line feed (ASCII 0x0a, or `\n` in C) followed by at least one whitespace character such as a space (ASCII 0x20) or tab (ASCII 0x09, or `\t` in C). The line feed should NOT be preceded by a carriage return (ASCII 0x0d); the MTA will add this automatically. It is the filter writer's responsibility to ensure that no standards are violated.
EXAMPLE |
      int ret;
      SMFICTX *ctx;

      ...

      ret = smfi_insheader(ctx, 0, "First", "See me?");
