Socket options

Hi everyone,

Question for gurus:

Is there a way for us to determine the options used by a socket?

I basically want to know if SO_KEEPALIVE is enabled on a socket to know if the tcp_keepalive_abort_interval parameter will be used by that connection.

Was I clear enough? Smilie

#include <sys/socket.h> int shutdown(int socket, int how); DESCRIPTION

The call succeeds unless: [EBADF] Socket is not a valid descriptor. [EINVAL] The how argument is invalid. [ENOTCONN] The specified socket is not connected. [ENOTSOCK] Socket is a file, not a socket. SEE ALSO
