NAME
sctp_opt_info -- get SCTP socket information
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/sctp.h> int sctp_opt_info(int sd, sctp_assoc_t id, int opt, void *arg, socklen_t *size);
DESCRIPTION
The sctp_opt_info() call provides a multi-os compatible method for getting specific getsockopt() data where an association identification needs to be passed into the operating system. For FreeBSD a direct getsockopt() may be used, since FreeBSD has the ability to pass informa- tion into the operating system on a getsockopt() call. Other operating systems may not have this ability. For those who wish to write por- table code amongst multiple operating systems this call should be used for the following SCTP socket options. SCTP_RTOINFO SCTP_ASSOCINFO SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR SCTP_PEER_ADDR_PARAMS SCTP_DEFAULT_SEND_PARAM SCTP_MAX_SEG SCTP_AUTH_ACTIVE_KEY SCTP_DELAYED_SACK SCTP_MAX_BURST SCTP_CONTEXT SCTP_EVENT SCTP_DEFAULT_SNDINFO SCTP_DEFAULT_PRINFO SCTP_STATUS SCTP_GET_PEER_ADDR_INFO SCTP_PEER_AUTH_CHUNKS SCTP_LOCAL_AUTH_CHUNKS
RETURN VALUES
The call returns 0 on success and -1 upon error.
ERRORS
The sctp_opt_info() function can return the following errors: [EINVAL] The argument arg value was invalid. [EOPNOTSUPP] The argument opt was not one of the above listed SCTP socket options. [EBADF] The argument s is not a valid descriptor. [ENOTSOCK] The argument s is not a socket.
SEE ALSO
getsockopt(2), sctp(4)
BUGS
Because the structure used for arg of the SCTP_MAX_BURST socket option has changed in FreeBSD 9.0 and higher, using SCTP_MAX_BURST as opt is only supported in FreeBSD 9.0 and higher.
