send
Description: int send(
int s,
/* socket on which to send data */
void *buf, /* pointer to transmit data buffer */
int len, /* number of bytes to send */
int flags); /* currently ignored */
The send function writes data to a connection-oriented (TCP) socket. It writes len bytes from the buffer buf to the socket s,
which must be in a connected state. The flags parameter is ignored. Send returns only a local success/failure code and does
not necessarily detect transmission errors.
getsockopt/setsockopt
Descriptions: int getsockopt(
int s,
/* socket for which to get option */
int level, /* currently ignored */
int name, /* option to get */
void *buf, /* buffer to which socket option data is written */
int len); /* length of buf */
int setsockopt(
int s,
/* socket for which to set option */
int level, /* currently ignored */
int name, /* option to set */
void *buf, /* buffer containing socket option data to set */
int len); /* length of buf */
The getsockopt and setsockopt functions get and set socket options. These functions get/set various options of a socket s.
The option to be read/written is specified by the name parameter. The *buf parameter points to the buffer to be filled (get oper-
ation) or the option value to be written (set operation). The size of the buffer is len and modified to the size of the filled-in data
by getsockopt. If a socket option needs no data, buf can be NULL. The level parameter is ignored. The getsockopt and set-
sockopt functions return a success/failure code in the accumulator.
The following option names are supported:
NAME VALUE DESCRIPTION
TCP_NODELAY 0 Gets/sets the TCP Nagle parameter
SO_LINGER 1 (ignored)
SO_TIMEOUT 2 Gets/sets the socket timeout
SO_BINDADDR 3 Gets the local socket IP (get operation only)
