tipc_getsockopt(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is tipc_getsockopt(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving “get socket option” energy. no cap. 🫶

tipc_getsockopt — get socket option.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int tipc_getsockopt (struct socket *sock , int lvl , int opt , sockopt_t
       *sopt );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sock — socket structure. the socket struct in question, bestie.
• lvl — option level. which option level we’re on.
• opt — option identifier. the option’s whole ID.
• sopt — socket option container (input buffer length, output value/length). this lil container carries the input buffer length and the output value/length.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

For stream sockets only, it returns a 0 length result for all IPPROTO_TCP options — literally to ease compatibility. that’s the whole vibe. no extra lore. ✨

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

0 on success, errno otherwise. periodt. 💅
