Hi,
> You must all be getting very exasperated with me. :)
How did you guess this? ;)
It generally happens when one asks silly questions .:)
"man" is your friend (if installed on your linux distro). E.g.
# man recvmsg
I have man but seem to have no entry for recvmsg, recv or recvfrom. I
hope this does not mean the functions will not be available on my
system.....
Then there is the OpenGroups spec:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/
But I thing before diving too deep into this, rather apply the
Chinaman's tactic.
Had a look at it and you know what? I think you are right :(
I will settle for the semi-chinaman technique.....

Add 1 to 1: The CAN profile describes what IOCTLs are available for CAN
sockets. rt_dev_ioctl() (or ioctl() with the POSIX skin) is the way to
pass these IOCTLs down to the CAN stack.
Actually this sheds quite a bit of light on matters. If you would be
so kind as to give a brief explanation of what a "stack" is exactly. I
have been confronted with the term quite a lot now but its not
becoming clearer. I used to think it was a buffer of some kind. Kind
of like the ones that one "pushes" and "pops" on but I can't see a
connection between that concept and what you say above.
I think this should be visible when making one step back, looking at the
whole picture of the documentation pieces and the examples, no?
Absolutely. Thanks.
Regards,
Roland.
