Socket Options
SO_RCVTIMEO
The following socket options toggle socket behavior.
optval
is an integer
containing a boolean flag for the behavior (1 = on, 0 = off):
SO_KEEPALIVE
SO_DEBUG
SO_DONTROUTE
SO_USELOOPBACK
SO_REUSEADDR
SO_OOBINLINE
SO_REUSEPORT
The SO_LINGER option is a combination. It sets a linger value, and also
toggles linger behavior on and off. In previous releases
SO_DONTLINGER was supported. For SO_LINGER,
optval
points to a
struct
linger
, defined in
/usr/include/sys/socket.h
. The
structure contains an integer boolean flag to toggle behavior on/off, and
an integer linger value. Refer to the
getsockopt(2)
man page for more
information on
getsockopt
.
setsockopt
and its parameters are described in the following table:
Include files:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
System call:
setsockopt(s, level, optname, optval, optlen)
int s, level, optname;
char *optval;
int optlen;
Parameter
