The 'option_len' argument is the size in bytes of the +buffer pointed to by 'option_value'; upon successful completion +_xs_getsockopt()_ shall modify the 'option_len' argument to indicate the actual +size of the option value stored in the buffer. + +The following options can be retrieved with the _xs_getsockopt()_ function: + + +XS_TYPE: Retrieve socket type +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_TYPE' option shall retrieve the socket type for the specified +'socket'. The socket type is specified at socket creation time and +cannot be modified afterwards. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: N/A +Default value:: N/A +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_RCVMORE: More message data parts to follow +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_RCVMORE' option shall return True (1) if the message part last +received from the 'socket' was a data part with more parts to follow. If there +are no data parts to follow, this option shall return False (0). + +Refer to linkxs:xs_send[3] and linkxs:xs_recv[3] for a detailed description +of multi-part messages. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: boolean +Default value:: N/A +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_SNDHWM: Retrieves high water mark for outbound messages +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_SNDHWM' option shall return the high water mark for outbound messages +on the specified 'socket'. The high water mark is a hard limit on the maximum +number of outstanding messages the library shall queue in memory for any single +peer that the specified 'socket' is communicating with. + +If this limit has been reached the socket shall enter an exceptional state and +depending on the socket type, the library shall take appropriate action such as +blocking or dropping sent messages. Refer to the individual socket descriptions +in linkxs:xs_socket[3] for details on the exact action taken for each socket +type. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: messages +Default value:: 1000 +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_RCVHWM: Retrieve high water mark for inbound messages +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_RCVHWM' option shall return the high water mark for inbound messages on +the specified 'socket'. The high water mark is a hard limit on the maximum +number of outstanding messages the library shall queue in memory for any single +peer that the specified 'socket' is communicating with. + +If this limit has been reached the socket shall enter an exceptional state and +depending on the socket type, the library shall take appropriate action such as +blocking or dropping sent messages. Refer to the individual socket descriptions +in linkxs:xs_socket[3] for details on the exact action taken for each socket +type. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: messages +Default value:: 1000 +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_AFFINITY: Retrieve I/O thread affinity +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_AFFINITY' option shall retrieve the I/O thread affinity for newly +created connections on the specified 'socket'. + +Affinity determines which threads from the Crossroads I/O thread pool associated +with the socket's _context_ shall handle newly created connections. A value of +zero specifies no affinity, meaning that work shall be distributed fairly among +all I/O threads in the thread pool. For non-zero values, the lowest bit +corresponds to thread 1, second lowest bit to thread 2 and so on. For example, +a value of 3 specifies that subsequent connections on 'socket' shall be handled +exclusively by I/O threads 1 and 2. + +See also linkxs:xs_init[3] for details on allocating the number of I/O +threads for a specific _context_. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: uint64_t +Option value unit:: N/A (bitmap) +Default value:: 0 +Applicable socket types:: N/A + +XS_IDENTITY: Set socket identity +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_IDENTITY' option shall retrieve the identity of the specified 'socket'. +Socket identity is used only by request/reply pattern. Namely, it can be used +in tandem with ROUTER socket to route messages to the peer with specific +identity. + +Identity should be at least one byte and at most 255 bytes long. Identities +starting with binary zero are reserved for use by Crossroads infrastructure. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: binary data +Option value unit:: N/A +Default value:: NULL +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_RATE: Retrieve multicast data rate +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_RATE' option shall retrieve the maximum send or receive data rate for +multicast transports using the specified 'socket'. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: kilobits per second +Default value:: 100 +Applicable socket types:: all, when using multicast transports + + +XS_RECOVERY_IVL: Get multicast recovery interval +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_RECOVERY_IVL' option shall retrieve the recovery interval for +multicast transports using the specified 'socket'. The recovery interval +determines the maximum time in milliseconds that a receiver can be absent from a +multicast group before unrecoverable data loss will occur. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: milliseconds +Default value:: 10000 +Applicable socket types:: all, when using multicast transports + + +XS_SNDBUF: Retrieve kernel transmit buffer size +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_SNDBUF' option shall retrieve the underlying kernel transmit buffer +size for the specified 'socket'. A value of zero means that the OS default is +in effect. For details refer to your operating system documentation for the +'SO_SNDBUF' socket option. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: bytes +Default value:: 0 +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_RCVBUF: Retrieve kernel receive buffer size +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_RCVBUF' option shall retrieve the underlying kernel receive buffer +size for the specified 'socket'. A value of zero means that the OS default is +in effect. For details refer to your operating system documentation for the +'SO_RCVBUF' socket option. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: bytes +Default value:: 0 +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_LINGER: Retrieve linger period for socket shutdown +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_LINGER' option shall retrieve the linger period for the specified +'socket'. The linger period determines how long pending messages which have +yet to be sent to a peer shall linger in memory after a socket is closed with +linkxs:xs_close[3], and further affects the termination of the socket's +context with linkxs:xs_term[3]. The following outlines the different +behaviours: + +* The default value of '-1' specifies an infinite linger period. Pending + messages shall not be discarded after a call to _xs_close()_; attempting to + terminate the socket's context with _xs_term()_ shall block until all + pending messages have been sent to a peer. + +* The value of '0' specifies no linger period. Pending messages shall be + discarded immediately when the socket is closed with _xs_close()_. + +* Positive values specify an upper bound for the linger period in milliseconds. + Pending messages shall not be discarded after a call to _xs_close()_; + attempting to terminate the socket's context with _xs_term()_ shall block + until either all pending messages have been sent to a peer, or the linger + period expires, after which any pending messages shall be discarded. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: milliseconds +Default value:: -1 (infinite) +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_RECONNECT_IVL: Retrieve reconnection interval +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_RECONNECT_IVL' option shall retrieve the initial reconnection interval +for the specified 'socket'. The reconnection interval is the period the library +shall wait between attempts to reconnect disconnected peers when using +connection-oriented transports. + +NOTE: The reconnection interval may be randomized by the library to prevent +reconnection storms in topologies with a large number of peers per socket. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: milliseconds +Default value:: 100 +Applicable socket types:: all, only for connection-oriented transports + + +XS_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX: Retrieve maximum reconnection interval +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX' option shall retrieve the maximum reconnection +interval for the specified 'socket'. This is the maximum period the library +shall wait between attempts to reconnect. On each reconnect attempt, the +previous interval shall be doubled untill XS_RECONNECT_IVL_MAX is reached. This +allows for exponential backoff strategy. Default value means no exponential +backoff is performed and reconnect interval calculations are only based on +XS_RECONNECT_IVL. + +NOTE: Values less than XS_RECONNECT_IVL will be ignored. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: milliseconds +Default value:: 0 (only use XS_RECONNECT_IVL) +Applicable socket types:: all, only for connection-oriented transport + + +XS_BACKLOG: Retrieve maximum length of the queue of outstanding connections +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_BACKLOG' option shall retrieve the maximum length of the queue of +outstanding peer connections for the specified 'socket'; this only applies to +connection-oriented transports. For details refer to your operating system +documentation for the 'listen' function. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: connections +Default value:: 100 +Applicable socket types:: all, only for connection-oriented transports + + +XS_MAXMSGSIZE: Maximum acceptable inbound message size +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The option shall retrieve limit for the inbound messages. If a peer sends +a message larger than XS_MAXMSGSIZE it is disconnected. Value of -1 means +'no limit'. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int64_t +Option value unit:: bytes +Default value:: -1 +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_MULTICAST_HOPS: Maximum network hops for multicast packets +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The option shall retrieve time-to-live used for outbound multicast packets. +The default of 1 means that the multicast packets don't leave the local network. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: network hops +Default value:: 1 +Applicable socket types:: all, when using multicast transports + + +XS_RCVTIMEO: Maximum time before a socket operation returns with EAGAIN +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Retrieve the timeout for recv operation on the socket. If the value is `0`, +_xs_recv(3)_ will return immediately, with a EAGAIN error if there is no +message to receive. If the value is `-1`, it will block until a message is +available. For all other values, it will wait for a message for that amount +of time before returning with an EAGAIN error. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: milliseconds +Default value:: -1 (infinite) +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_SNDTIMEO: Maximum time before a socket operation returns with EAGAIN +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Retrieve the timeout for send operation on the socket. If the value is `0`, +_xs_send(3)_ will return immediately, with a EAGAIN error if the message +cannot be sent. If the value is `-1`, it will block until the message is sent. +For all other values, it will try to send the message for that amount of time +before returning with an EAGAIN error. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: milliseconds +Default value:: -1 (infinite) +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_IPV4ONLY: Retrieve IPv4-only socket override status +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Retrieve the underlying native socket type. A value of `1` will use IPv4 +sockets, while the value of `0` will use IPv6 sockets. An IPv6 socket +lets applications connect to and accept connections from both IPv4 and IPv6 +hosts. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: boolean +Default value:: 1 (true) +Applicable socket types:: all, when using TCP transports. + + +XS_FD: Retrieve file descriptor associated with the socket +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_FD' option shall retrieve the file descriptor associated with the +specified 'socket'. The returned file descriptor can be used to integrate the +socket into an existing event loop; the library shall signal any pending +events on the socket in an _edge-triggered_ fashion by making the file +descriptor become ready for reading. + +NOTE: The ability to read from the returned file descriptor does not +necessarily indicate that messages are available to be read from, or can be +written to, the underlying socket; applications must retrieve the actual event +state with a subsequent retrieval of the 'XS_EVENTS' option. + +CAUTION: The returned file descriptor is intended for use with a 'poll' or +similar system call only. Applications must never attempt to read or write data +to it directly, neither should they try to close it. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int on POSIX systems, SOCKET on Windows +Option value unit:: N/A +Default value:: N/A +Applicable socket types:: all + + +XS_EVENTS: Retrieve socket event state +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The 'XS_EVENTS' option shall retrieve the event state for the specified +'socket'. The returned value is a bit mask constructed by OR'ing a combination +of the following event flags: + +*XS_POLLIN*:: +Indicates that at least one message may be received from the specified socket +without blocking. + +*XS_POLLOUT*:: +Indicates that at least one message may be sent to the specified socket without +blocking. + +The combination of a file descriptor returned by the 'XS_FD' option being +ready for reading but no actual events returned by a subsequent retrieval of +the 'XS_EVENTS' option is valid; applications should simply ignore this case +and restart their polling operation/event loop. + +[horizontal] +Option value type:: int +Option value unit:: N/A (flags) +Default value:: N/A +Applicable socket types:: all + + +RETURN VALUE +------------ +The _xs_getsockopt()_ function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it +shall return `-1` and set 'errno' to one of the values defined below. + + +ERRORS +------ +*EINVAL*:: +The requested option _option_name_ is unknown, or the requested _option_len_ or +_option_value_ is invalid, or the size of the buffer pointed to by +_option_value_, as specified by _option_len_, is insufficient for storing the +option value. +*ETERM*:: +The 'context' associated with the specified 'socket' was terminated. +*ENOTSOCK*:: +The provided 'socket' was invalid. +*EINTR*:: +The operation was interrupted by delivery of a signal. + + +EXAMPLE +------- +.Retrieving the high water mark for outgoing messages +---- +/* Retrieve high water mark into sndhwm */ +int sndhwm; +size_t sndhwm_size = sizeof (sndhwm); +rc = xs_getsockopt (socket, XS_SNDHWM, &sndhwm, &sndhwm_size); +assert (rc == 0); +---- + + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkxs:xs_setsockopt[3] +linkxs:xs_socket[3] +linkxs:xs[7] + + +AUTHORS +------- +The Crossroads documentation was written by Martin Sustrik +and Martin Lucina . -- cgit v1.2.3
