   setsockopt    ( 2 )

получить и установить параметры сокетов (get and set options on sockets)

Имя (Name)

getsockopt, setsockopt - get and set options on sockets

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <sys/socket.h>

int getsockopt(int sockfd, int level, int optname, void *restrict optval, socklen_t *restrict optlen); int setsockopt(int sockfd, int level, int optname, const void *optval, socklen_t optlen);


Описание (Description)

getsockopt() and setsockopt() manipulate options for the socket
       referred to by the file descriptor sockfd.  Options may exist at
       multiple protocol levels; they are always present at the
       uppermost socket level.

When manipulating socket options, the level at which the option resides and the name of the option must be specified. To manipulate options at the sockets API level, level is specified as SOL_SOCKET. To manipulate options at any other level the protocol number of the appropriate protocol controlling the option is supplied. For example, to indicate that an option is to be interpreted by the TCP protocol, level should be set to the protocol number of TCP; see getprotoent(3).

The arguments optval and optlen are used to access option values for setsockopt(). For getsockopt() they identify a buffer in which the value for the requested option(s) are to be returned. For getsockopt(), optlen is a value-result argument, initially containing the size of the buffer pointed to by optval, and modified on return to indicate the actual size of the value returned. If no option value is to be supplied or returned, optval may be NULL.

Optname and any specified options are passed uninterpreted to the appropriate protocol module for interpretation. The include file <sys/socket.h> contains definitions for socket level options, described below. Options at other protocol levels vary in format and name; consult the appropriate entries in section 4 of the manual.

Most socket-level options utilize an int argument for optval. For setsockopt(), the argument should be nonzero to enable a boolean option, or zero if the option is to be disabled.

For a description of the available socket options see socket(7) and the appropriate protocol man pages.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

On success, zero is returned for the standard options.  On error,
       -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

Netfilter allows the programmer to define custom socket options with associated handlers; for such options, the return value on success is the value returned by the handler.


Ошибки (Error)

EBADF  The argument sockfd is not a valid file descriptor.

EFAULT The address pointed to by optval is not in a valid part of the process address space. For getsockopt(), this error may also be returned if optlen is not in a valid part of the process address space.

EINVAL optlen invalid in setsockopt(). In some cases this error can also occur for an invalid value in optval (e.g., for the IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP option described in ip(7)).

ENOPROTOOPT The option is unknown at the level indicated.

ENOTSOCK The file descriptor sockfd does not refer to a socket.


Стандарты (Conforming to)

POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, SVr4, 4.4BSD (these system calls
       first appeared in 4.2BSD).

Примечание (Note)

For background on the socklen_t type, see accept(2).

Ошибки (баги) (Bugs)

Several of the socket options should be handled at lower levels
       of the system.
