PROBE::TCP.SETSOCK(3stap)

✨ PROBE::TCP.SETSOCKOPT 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the PROBE::TCP.SETSOCK(3stap) page — this one lives in the Networking Tapset and it's literally the moment a socket gets told what it's allowed to do. no cap.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

probe::tcp.setsockopt — it's the call to setsockopt, fr fr. like, whenever somebody goes "hey socket, here's a lil option for u", this probe is watching. 👀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

probe tcp.setsockopt {}

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no arguments, no drama, just the probe sitting there being iconic. ✨

---

🌸 VALUES 🌸

these are the variables you get to peek at inside the probe. the way each one is right there for you? obsessed. 🫶

• optstr — takes optname and resolves it into a human-readable format. so instead of a cryptic number you get actual words. we love a translation era. 💖
• optlen — used to access values for setsockopt. it's how you get at the actual data, iykyk. 📏
• family — the IP address family. yes, like the whole address-family situation. 🏠
• level — the level at which the socket options are gonna get manipulated. the vibe tier of the option, basically. 🎚️
• name — the name of this probe. it's just... the name. of the probe. (it's tcp.setsockopt, bestie, we been knew.) 🏷️
• optname — the TCP socket options themselves, like TCP_NODELAY, TCP_MAXSEG, etc. etc. the classics. 👑 (the etc is doing so much heavy lifting here and honestly? same.)
• sock — the network socket. the actual star of the show. the main character. 🌟

---

🧚 CONTEXT 🧚

this probe fires in the context of the process which calls setsockopt. so whoever's out there setting socket options — that's whose world we're living in. 🫡

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• tapset::tcp(3stap) — go read this too, bestie, it's the whole tcp tapset and it's giving reference material. 💜

---

💀 reminder: every flag, value, and name up there is doing exactly what the original says and nothing more. don't be out here inventing new behaviour, that's not the move. 🙈

and that's a wrap on the SystemTap Tapset Reference situation, dated September 2026 — okurrr, go forth and probe responsibly, mwah 💅🎀🦋🌸✨
