The caller needs to provide a sufficiently large (> 2) array of type uint8_t. +DCCP_SOCKOPT_CCID is write-only and sets both the TX and RX CCIDs at the same +time, combining the operation of the next two socket options. This option is +preferrable over the latter two, since often applications will use the same +type of CCID for both directions; and mixed use of CCIDs is not currently well +understood. This socket option takes as argument at least one uint8_t value, or +an array of uint8_t values, which must match available CCIDS (see above). CCIDs +must be registered on the socket before calling connect() or listen(). + +DCCP_SOCKOPT_TX_CCID is read/write. It returns the current CCID (if set) or sets +the preference list for the TX CCID, using the same format as DCCP_SOCKOPT_CCID. +Please note that the getsockopt argument type here is `int', not uint8_t. + +DCCP_SOCKOPT_RX_CCID is analogous to DCCP_SOCKOPT_TX_CCID, but for the RX CCID. + DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVER_TIMEWAIT enables the server (listening socket) to hold timewait state when closing the connection (RFC 4340, 8.3). The usual case is that the closing server sends a CloseReq, whereupon the client holds timewait |
