virtual abstract const volatile template static inline C-linkage
NO NO YES NO NO NO YES NO

Summary
Retrieves option-attributes associated with the socket.
Parameters
Option
The attribute to query.
Valid values (depending on the Level) are:
  • osl_Socket_Option_Debug
    (sal_Bool) Socket debug flag 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled.
  • osl_Socket_OptionAcceptConn
  • osl_Socket_OptionReuseAddr
    (sal_Bool) Allows the socket to be bound to an address that is already in use. 1 = multiple bound allowed, 0 = no multiple bounds allowed
  • osl_Socket_OptionKeepAlive
    (sal_Bool) Keepalive packets are sent by the underlying socket. 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled
  • osl_Socket_OptionDontRoute
    (sal_Bool) Do not route: send directly to interface. 1 = do not route , 0 = routing possible
  • osl_Socket_OptionBroadcast
    (sal_Bool) Transmission of broadcast messages are allowed on the socket. 1 = transmission allowed, 0 = transmission disallowed
  • osl_Socket_OptionUseLoopback
  • osl_Socket_OptionLinger
    (linger) Linger on close if unsent data is present. linger has two members: l_onoff, l_linger l_onoff = 0 is off, l_onoff > 0 and l_linger= timeout in seconds.
  • osl_Socket_OptionOOBinLine
  • osl_Socket_OptionSndBuf
    (sal_Int32) Size of the send buffer in bytes. Data is sent after SndTimeo or when the buffer is full. This allows faster writing to the socket.
  • osl_Socket_OptionRcvBuf
    (sal_Int32) Size of the receive buffer in bytes. Data is sent after SndTimeo or when the buffer is full. This allows faster writing to the socket and larger packet sizes.
  • osl_Socket_OptionSndLowat
  • osl_Socket_OptionRcvLowat
  • osl_Socket_OptionSndTimeo
    (sal_Int32) Data is sent after this timeout. This allows gathering of data to send larger packages but increases latency times.
  • osl_Socket_OptionRcvTimeo
  • osl_Socket_OptionError
  • osl_Socket_OptionType
  • osl_Socket_OptionTcpNoDelay
    Disables the Nagle algorithm for send coalescing. (Do not collect data until a packet is full, instead send immediatly. This increases network traffic but might improve latency-times.) 1 = disables the algorithm, 0 = keeps it enabled.
If not above mentioned otherwise, the options are only valid for level osl_Socket_LevelSocket.
