CHAPTER 1
CATC Scripting Language for USB Introduction

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

CATC Scripting Language (CSL) was developed to create scripts that would allow users to do file-based decoding with CATC USBTracer, USBMobile, and USBAd­visor analyzers. CSL is used to edit CATC Decode Scripting (CDS) files. CATC analyzers are equipped with built-in decoders in addition to script-based decoders that can be modified by the users or implemented as-is. Decoding scripts for analyzers are distributed in the /scripts directory. These scripts are tools to decode and display transactions. Users can also add entirely new, customized decoders.
Included with the CATC USBTracer Protocol Analyzer are USB decoder scripts for many of the USB classes, as described in the USB specification. They are located in the USBTracer\Scripts directory and are identifiable by the .dec and .inc exten­sions. These scripts are tools to decode and display transactions. Users can also add entirely new, customized decoders to fit their own, specific development needs. USBTracer looks in the \Scripts directory and automatically loads all of the .dec files that it finds. To prevent a particular decoder from being loaded, changed its extension to something other than .dec or move it out of the \Scripts directory.
CSL is based on C language syntax, so anyone with a C programming background will have no trouble learning CSL. The simple, yet powerful, structure of CSL also enables less experienced users to easily acquire the basic knowledge needed to start writing custom scripts.

CHAPTER 2
CATC Scripting Language for USB Values

CHAPTER 2: VALUES

There are five value types that may be manipulated by a script: integers, strings, lists, raw bytes,andnull. CSL is not a strongly typed language. Value types need
not be pre-declared. Literals, variables and constants can take on any of the five value types, and the types can be reassigned dynamically.

Literals

Literals are data that remain unchanged when the program is compiled. Literals are a way of expressing hard-coded data in a script.

Integers

Integer literals represent numeric values with no fractions or decimal points. Hexa­decimal, octal, decimal, and binary notation are supported:
Hexadecimal numbers must be preceded by 0x: 0x2A, 0x54, 0xFFFFFF01
Octal numbers must begin with 0: 0775, 017, 0400
Decimal numbers are written as usual: 24, 1256, 2
Binary numbers are denoted with 0b: 0b01101100, 0b01, 0b100000

Strings

String literals are used to represent text. A string consists of zero or more characters and can include numbers, letters, spaces, and punctuation. An empty string ("") contains no characters and evaluates to false in an expression, whereas a non-empty string evaluates to true. Double quotes surround a string, and some standard backslash (\) escape sequences are supported.
String Represented text
"Quote: \"This is a string literal.\""
"256"
"abcd!$%&*" abcd!$%&*
"June 26, 2001" June 26, 2001
Quote: "This is a string literal."
256
**Note that this does not represent the integer
256, but only the characters that make up the number.
"[ 1, 2, 3 ]" [ 1, 2, 3 ]
Table 2.1: Examples of String Literals

CHAPTER 2
CATC Scripting Language for USB Values
Escape Sequences
These are the available escape sequences in CSL:
Escape
Character
backslash \\ "This is a backslash: \\" This is a backslash: \
double quote \" "\"Quotes!\"" "Quotes!"
horizontal tab \t "Before tab\tAfter tab" Before tab After tab
newline \n "This is how\nto get a newline." This is how
single quote \' "\'Single quote\'" 'Single quote'
Sequence Example Output
to get a newline.
Table 2.2: Escape Sequences

Lists

A list can hold zero or more pieces of data. A list that contains zero pieces of data is called an empty list. An empty list evaluates to false when used in an expression, whereas a non-empty list evaluates to true. List literals are expressed using the square bracket ([]) delimiters. List elements can be of any type, including lists.
[1, 2, 3, 4] [] ["one", 2, "three", [4, [5, [6]]]]

Raw Bytes

Raw binary values are used primarily for efficient access to packet payloads. A literal notation is supported using single quotes:
'00112233445566778899AABBCCDDEEFF'
This represents an array of 16 bytes with values starting at 00 and ranging up to 0xFF. The values can only be hexadecimal digits. Each digit represents a nybble
(four bits), and if there are not an even number of nybbles specified, an implicit zero is added to the first byte. For example:
'FFF'
is interpreted as
'0FFF'

Null

Null indicates an absence of valid data. The keyword null represents a literal null value and evaluates to false when used in expressions.
4
CHAPTER 2
CATC Scripting Language for USB Values
result = null;

Variables

Variables are used to store information, or data, that can be modified. A variable can be thought of as a container that holds a value.
All variables have names. Variable names must contain only alphanumeric charac­ters and the underscore ( _ ) character, and they cannot begin with a number. Some possible variable names are
x _NewValue name_2
A variable is created when it is assigned a value. Variables can be of any value type, and can change type with re-assignment. Values are assigned using the assignment operator ( = ). The name of the variable goes on the left side of the operator, and the value goes on the right:
x=[1,2,3] New_value = x name2 = "Smith"
If a variable is referenced before it is assigned a value, it evaluates to null.
There are two types of variables: global and local.

Global Variables

Global variables are defined outside of the scope of functions. Defining global variables requires the use of the keyword set. Global variables are visible through­out a file (and all files that it includes).
set Global = 10;
If an assignment in a function has a global as a left-hand value, a variable will not be created, but the global variable will be changed. For example
set Global = 10;
Function() {
Global = "cat"; Local = 20;
}
5
CHAPTER 2
CATC Scripting Language for USB Values
will create a local variable called Local, which will only be visible within the function Function. Additionally, it will change the value of Global to "cat", which will be visible to all functions. This will also change its value type from an integer to a string.

Local Variables

Local variables are not declared. Instead, they are created as needed. Local variables are created either by being in a function's parameter list, or simply by being assigned a value in a function body.
Function(Parameter) {
Local = 20;
}
This function will create a local variable Parameter and a local variable Local, which has an assigned value of 20.

Constants

A constant is similar to a variable, except that its value cannot be changed. Like variables, constant names must contain only alphanumeric characters and the un­derscore ( _ ) character, and they cannot begin with a number.
Constants are declared similarly to global variables using the keyword const:
const CONSTANT = 20;
They can be assigned to any value type, but will generate an error if used in the left­hand side of an assignment statement later on. For instance,
const constant_2 = 3;
Function() {
constant_2 = 5;
}
will generate an error.
Declaring a constant with the same name as a global, or a global with the same name as a constant, will also generate an error. Like globals, constants can only be declared in the file scope.

CHAPTER 3
CATC Scripting Language for USB Expressions

CHAPTER 3: EXPRESSIONS

An expression is a statement that calculates a value. The simplest type of expression is assignment:
x=2
The expression x=2calculates 2 as the value of x.
All expressions contain operators, which are described in Chapter 4, Operators,on page 9. The operators indicate how an expression should be evaluated in order to arrive at its value. For example
x+2
saystoadd2tox to find the value of the expression. Another example is
x>2
which indicates that x is greater than 2. This is a Boolean expression, so it will evaluate to either true or false. Therefore, if x=3, then x>2will evaluate to true; if x=1,itwillreturnfalse.
True is denoted by a non-zero integer (any integer except 0), and false is a zero integer (0). True and false are also supported for lists (an empty list is false, while all others are true), and strings (an empty string is false, while all others are true), and null is considered false. However, all Boolean operators will result in integer values.

select expression

The select expression selects the value to which it evaluates based on Boolean expressions. This is the format for a select expression:
select {
<expression1> : <statement1> <expression2> : <statement2> ...
};
The expressions are evaluated in order, and the statement that is associated with the first true expression is executed. That value is what the entire expression evaluates to.
7
CHAPTER 3
CATC Scripting Language for USB Expressions
x=10 Value_of_x = select {
x<5:"Lessthan 5"; x>=5:"Greater than or equal to 5";
};
The above expression will evaluate to Greater than or equal to 5because the first true expression is x>=5. Note that a semicolon is required at the end of a select expression because it is not a compound statement and can be used in an expression context.
There is also a keyword default, which in effect always evaluates to true. An example of its use is
Astring = select {
A==1:"one"; A==2:"two"; A == 3: "three"; A>3:"overflow"; default : null;
};
If none of the first four expressions evaluates to true, then default will be eval­uated, returning a value of null for the entire expression.
select expressions can also be used to conditionally execute statements, similar to C switch statements:
select {
A==1:DoSomething(); A==2:DoSomethingElse(); default: DoNothing();
};
In this case the appropriate function is called depending on the value of A, but the evaluated result of the select expression is ignored.

CHAPTER 4
CATC Scripting Language for USB Operators

CHAPTER 4: OPERATORS

An operator is a symbol that represents an action, such as addition or subtraction, that can be performed on data. Operators are used to manipulate data. The data being manipulated are called operands. Literals, function calls, constants, and variables can all serve as operands. For example, in the operation
x+2
the variable x and the integer 2 are both operands, and + is the operator.

Operations

Operations can be performed on any combination of value types, but will result in a null value if the operation is not defined. Defined operations are listed in the Operand Types column of Table 4.2 on page 12. Any binary operation on a null and a non-null value will result in the non-null value. For example, if
x = null
then
3*x
will return a value of 3.
A binary operation is an operation that contains an operand on each side of the operator, as in the preceding examples. An operation with only one operand is called a unary operation, and requires the use of a unary operator. An example of a unary operation is
!1
which uses the logical negation operator. It returns a value of 0.
The unary operators are
sizeof(), head(), tail(), ~ and !.

Operator Precedence and Associativity

Operator rules of precedence and associativity determine in what order operands are evaluated in expressions. Expressions with operators of higher precedence are evaluated first. In the expression
4+9*5
the * operator has the highest precedence, so the multiplication is performed before the addition. Therefore, the expression evaluates to 49.
9
CHAPTER 4
CATC Scripting Language for USB Operators
The associative operator () is used to group parts of the expression, forcing those parts to be evaluated first. In this way, the rules of precedence can be overridden. For example,
(4+9)*5
causes the addition to be performed before the multiplication, resulting in a value of 65.
When operators of equal precedence occur in an expression, the operands are evaluated according to the associativity of the operators. This means that if an op­erator's associativity is left to right, then the operations will be done starting from the left side of the expression. So, the expression
4+9-6+5
would evaluate to 12. However, if the associative operator is used to group a part or parts of the expression, those parts are evaluated first. Therefore,
(4+9)-(6+5)
has a value of 2.
In Table 4.1, Operator Precedence and Associativity, the operators are listed in order of precedence, from highest to lowest. Operators on the same line have equal precedence, and their associativity is shown in the second column.

CHAPTER 5
CATC Scripting Language for USB Comments

CHAPTER 5: COMMENTS

Comments may be inserted into scripts as a way of documenting what the script does and how it does it. Comments are useful as a way to help others understand how a particular script works. Additionally, comments can be used as an aid in structuring the program.
Comments in CSL begin with a hash mark (#) and finish at the end of the line. The end of the line is indicated by pressing the Return or Enter key. Anything contained inside the comment delimiters is ignored by the compiler. Thus,
#x=2;
is not considered part of the program. CSL supports only end-of-line comments, which means that comments can be used only at the end of a line or on their own line. It's not possible to place a comment in the middle of a line.
Writing a multi-line comment requires surrounding each line with the comment de­limiters
# otherwise the compiler would try to interpret # anything outside of the delimiters # as part of the code.
The most common use of comments is to explain the purpose of the code immedi­ately following the comment. For example:
# Add a profile if we got a server channel if(rfChannel != "Failure") {
result = SDPAddProfileServiceRecord(rfChannel,
"ObjectPush");
Trace("SDPAddProfileServiceRecord returned ",
result, "\n"); }

CHAPTER 7: STATEMENTS

Statements are the building blocks of a program. A program is made up of list of statements.
Seven kinds of statements are used in CSL: expression statements, if statements, if­else statements, while statements, for statements, return statements, and compound statements.

Expression Statements

An expression statement describes a value, variable, or function.
<expression>
Here are some examples of the different kinds of expression statements:
Value: x + 3; Variable: x = 3; Function: Trace(x+3);
The variable expression statement is also called an assignment statement, because it assigns a value to a variable.

if Statements

An if statement follows the form
if <expression><statement>
For example,
if (3 && 3) Trace("True!");
will cause the program to evaluate whether the expression 3&&3is nonzero, or True. It is, so the expression evaluates to True and the Trace statement will be executed. On the other hand, the expression 3&&0is not nonzero, so it would evaluate to False, and the statement wouldn't be executed.

if-else Statements

The form for an if-else statement is
if <expression><statement1> else <statement2>
