What makes these sctp_* syscalls so special as opposed to their
generic and protocol agnostic counterparts?
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....
I'll give a free paper cookie to the first person to actually go _read_ the
committed code and notice that, *tada*, aside from the sctp_send*(), and
sctp_recvmsg() functions, these are indeed library wrapper functions around
getsockopt() and setsockopt().
Exactly...
Thank you John.. I owe you a beer :-)
