sys/socket.h — main sockets header


Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <sys/socket.h>


Описание (Description)

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the socklen_t type, which is an integer type of width of at least 32 bits; see APPLICATION USAGE.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the sa_family_t unsigned integer type.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the sockaddr structure, which shall include at least the following members:

sa_family_t sa_family Address family. char sa_data[] Socket address (variable-length data).

The sockaddr structure is used to define a socket address which is used in the bind(), connect(), getpeername(), getsockname(), recvfrom(), and sendto() functions.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the sockaddr_storage structure, which shall be:

* Large enough to accommodate all supported protocol-specific address structures

* Aligned at an appropriate boundary so that pointers to it can be cast as pointers to protocol-specific address structures and used to access the fields of those structures without alignment problems

The sockaddr_storage structure shall include at least the following members:

sa_family_t ss_family

When a pointer to a sockaddr_storage structure is cast as a pointer to a sockaddr structure, the ss_family field of the sockaddr_storage structure shall map onto the sa_family field of the sockaddr structure. When a pointer to a sockaddr_storage structure is cast as a pointer to a protocol-specific address structure, the ss_family field shall map onto a field of that structure that is of type sa_family_t and that identifies the protocol's address family.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the msghdr structure, which shall include at least the following members:

void *msg_name Optional address. socklen_t msg_namelen Size of address. struct iovec *msg_iov Scatter/gather array. int msg_iovlen Members in msg_iov. void *msg_control Ancillary data; see below. socklen_t msg_controllen Ancillary data buffer len. int msg_flags Flags on received message.

The msghdr structure is used to minimize the number of directly supplied parameters to the recvmsg() and sendmsg() functions. This structure is used as a valueresult parameter in the recvmsg() function and value only for the sendmsg() function.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the iovec structure as described in <sys/uio.h>.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the cmsghdr structure, which shall include at least the following members:

socklen_t cmsg_len Data byte count, including the cmsghdr. int cmsg_level Originating protocol. int cmsg_type Protocol-specific type.

The cmsghdr structure is used for storage of ancillary data object information.

Ancillary data consists of a sequence of pairs, each consisting of a cmsghdr structure followed by a data array. The data array contains the ancillary data message, and the cmsghdr structure contains descriptive information that allows an application to correctly parse the data.

The values for cmsg_level shall be legal values for the level argument to the getsockopt() and setsockopt() functions. The system documentation shall specify the cmsg_type definitions for the supported protocols.

Ancillary data is also possible at the socket level. The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the following symbolic constant for use as the cmsg_type value when cmsg_level is SOL_SOCKET:

SCM_RIGHTS Indicates that the data array contains the access rights to be sent or received.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the following macros to gain access to the data arrays in the ancillary data associated with a message header:

CMSG_DATA(cmsg) If the argument is a pointer to a cmsghdr structure, this macro shall return an unsigned character pointer to the data array associated with the cmsghdr structure.

CMSG_NXTHDR(mhdr,cmsg) If the first argument is a pointer to a msghdr structure and the second argument is a pointer to a cmsghdr structure in the ancillary data pointed to by the msg_control field of that msghdr structure, this macro shall return a pointer to the next cmsghdr structure, or a null pointer if this structure is the last cmsghdr in the ancillary data.

CMSG_FIRSTHDR(mhdr) If the argument is a pointer to a msghdr structure, this macro shall return a pointer to the first cmsghdr structure in the ancillary data associated with this msghdr structure, or a null pointer if there is no ancillary data associated with the msghdr structure.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the linger structure, which shall include at least the following members:

int l_onoff Indicates whether linger option is enabled. int l_linger Linger time, in seconds.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants with distinct values:

SOCK_DGRAM Datagram socket.

SOCK_RAW Raw Protocol Interface.

SOCK_SEQPACKET Sequenced-packet socket.

SOCK_STREAM Byte-stream socket.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the following symbolic constant for use as the level argument of setsockopt() and getsockopt().

SOL_SOCKET Options to be accessed at socket level, not protocol level.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants with distinct values for use as the option_name argument in getsockopt() or setsockopt() calls (see the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Section 2.10.16, Use of Options):

SO_ACCEPTCONN Socket is accepting connections.

SO_BROADCAST Transmission of broadcast messages is supported.

SO_DEBUG Debugging information is being recorded.

SO_DONTROUTE Bypass normal routing.

SO_ERROR Socket error status.

SO_KEEPALIVE Connections are kept alive with periodic messages.

SO_LINGER Socket lingers on close.

SO_OOBINLINE Out-of-band data is transmitted in line.

SO_RCVBUF Receive buffer size.

SO_RCVLOWAT Receive ``low water mark''.

SO_RCVTIMEO Receive timeout.

SO_REUSEADDR Reuse of local addresses is supported.

SO_SNDBUF Send buffer size.

SO_SNDLOWAT Send ``low water mark''.

SO_SNDTIMEO Send timeout.

SO_TYPE Socket type.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the following symbolic constant for use as the maximum backlog queue length which may be specified by the backlog field of the listen() function:

SOMAXCONN The maximum backlog queue length.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants with distinct values for use as the valid values for the msg_flags field in the msghdr structure, or the flags parameter in recv(), recvfrom(), recvmsg(), send(), sendmsg(), or sendto() calls:

MSG_CTRUNC Control data truncated.

MSG_DONTROUTE Send without using routing tables.

MSG_EOR Terminates a record (if supported by the protocol).

MSG_OOB Out-of-band data.

MSG_NOSIGNAL No SIGPIPE generated when an attempt to send is made on a stream-oriented socket that is no longer connected.

MSG_PEEK Leave received data in queue.

MSG_TRUNC Normal data truncated.

MSG_WAITALL Attempt to fill the read buffer.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants with distinct values:

AF_INET Internet domain sockets for use with IPv4 addresses.

AF_INET6 Internet domain sockets for use with IPv6 addresses.

AF_UNIX UNIX domain sockets.

AF_UNSPEC Unspecified.

The value of AF_UNSPEC shall be 0.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants with distinct values:

SHUT_RD Disables further receive operations.

SHUT_RDWR Disables further send and receive operations.

SHUT_WR Disables further send operations.

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the size_t and ssize_t types as described in <sys/types.h>.

The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

int accept(int, struct sockaddr *restrict, socklen_t *restrict); int bind(int, const struct sockaddr *, socklen_t); int connect(int, const struct sockaddr *, socklen_t); int getpeername(int, struct sockaddr *restrict, socklen_t *restrict); int getsockname(int, struct sockaddr *restrict, socklen_t *restrict); int getsockopt(int, int, int, void *restrict, socklen_t *restrict); int listen(int, int); ssize_t recv(int, void *, size_t, int); ssize_t recvfrom(int, void *restrict, size_t, int, struct sockaddr *restrict, socklen_t *restrict); ssize_t recvmsg(int, struct msghdr *, int); ssize_t send(int, const void *, size_t, int); ssize_t sendmsg(int, const struct msghdr *, int); ssize_t sendto(int, const void *, size_t, int, const struct sockaddr *, socklen_t); int setsockopt(int, int, int, const void *, socklen_t); int shutdown(int, int); int sockatmark(int); int socket(int, int, int); int socketpair(int, int, int, int [2]);

Inclusion of <sys/socket.h> may also make visible all symbols from <sys/uio.h>.
