Module nix::sys::socket::sockopt

Socket options as used by setsockopt and getsockopt.

Structs

• AcceptConn
  Returns a value indicating whether or not this socket has been marked to accept connections with listen(2).
• Broadcast
  Set or get the broadcast flag.
• DontRoute
  Set or get the don’t route flag.
• IpAddMembership
  Join a multicast group
• IpDropMembership
  Leave a multicast group.
• IpFreebind
  If enabled, this boolean option allows binding to an IP address that is nonlocal or does not (yet) exist.
• IpMulticastLoop
  Set or read a boolean integer argument that determines whether sent multicast packets should be looped back to the local sockets.
• IpMulticastTtl
  Set or read the time-to-live value of outgoing multicast packets for this socket.
• Ipv6V6Only
  The socket is restricted to sending and receiving IPv6 packets only.
• KeepAlive
  Enable sending of keep-alive messages on connection-oriented sockets.
• Linger
  When enabled, a close(2) or shutdown(2) will not return until all queued messages for the socket have been successfully sent or the linger timeout has been reached.
• OobInline
  If this option is enabled, out-of-band data is directly placed into the receive data stream.
• RcvBuf
  Sets or gets the maximum socket receive buffer in bytes.
• ReceiveTimeout
  Specify the receiving timeout until reporting an error.
• ReceiveTimestamp
  Enable or disable the receiving of the SO_TIMESTAMP control message.
• ReuseAddr
  Enables local address reuse
• ReusePort
  Permits multiple AF_INET or AF_INET6 sockets to be bound to an identical socket address.
• RxqOvfl
  Indicates that an unsigned 32-bit value ancillary message (cmsg) should be attached to received skbs indicating the number of packets dropped by the socket since its creation.
• SendTimeout
  Specify the sending timeout until reporting an error.
• SndBuf
  Sets or gets the maximum socket send buffer in bytes.
• SockType
  Gets the socket type as an integer.
• SocketError
  Get and clear the pending socket error.
• TcpKeepCount
  The maximum number of keepalive probes TCP should send before dropping the connection.
• TcpKeepInterval
  The time (in seconds) between individual keepalive probes.
• TcpMaxSeg
  The maximum segment size for outgoing TCP packets.
• TcpNoDelay
  Under most circumstances, TCP sends data when it is presented; when outstanding data has not yet been acknowledged, it gathers small amounts of output to be sent in a single packet once an acknowledgement is received. For a small number of clients, such as window systems that send a stream of mouse events which receive no replies, this packetization may cause significant delays. The boolean option TCP_NODELAY defeats this algorithm.
• TcpRepair
• TcpUserTimeout
  Specifies the maximum amount of time in milliseconds that transmitted data may remain unacknowledged before TCP will forcibly close the corresponding connection
