What makes these sctp_* syscalls so special as opposed to their

They're used for operations which do not have a direct correspondence
in the existing functions, i.e. connecting to multihomed peers, and
dealing with one-to-many sockets.
See Section 9.3-9.12, UNIX Network Programming Vol 1 3e for more info.
generally we would use socket ops or ioctls for this sort of thing..
syscalls is not how they would normally be done....

Most of the things are NOT syscalls.. there are only a
few for efficency.. the rest are a collection of
socket options that perform the functions..
