FreeRTOS_setsockopt()

[FreeRTOS Embedded IP Stack API]

FreeRTOS_sockets.h

BaseType_t FreeRTOS_setsockopt( xSocket_t xSocket, int32_t lLevel, 
                                   int32_t lOptionName, const void *pvOptionValue, 
                                   size_t xOptionLength );
		

Sets a socket option.

Parameters:

xSocket	The target socket (the socket being modified). The socket must have already been created by a successful call to FreeRTOS_socket().
lLevel	FreeRTOS+UDP does not [currently] use the lLevel parameter. The parameter is included to ensure consistency with the expected standard Berkeley sockets API, and to ensure compatibility with future versions of FreeRTOS+UDP.
lOptionName	The option being set or modified. Valid values are: lOptionName Value Description FREERTOS_SO_RCVTIMEO Sets the receive timeout. See FreeRTOS_recvfrom() for a description of the receive timeout. If lOptionName is FREERTOS_SO_RECTIMEO then pvOptionValue must point to a variable of type TickType_t. Timeout values are specified in ticks. To convert a time in milliseconds to a time in ticks divide the time in milliseconds by portTICK_PERIOD_MS. FREERTOS_SO_SNDTIMEO Sets the transmit timeout. See FreeRTOS_sendto() for a description of the transmit timeout. If lOptionName is FREERTOS_SO_SNDTIMEO then pvOptionValue must point to a variable of type TickType_t. Timeout values are specified in ticks. To convert a time in milliseconds to a time in ticks divide the time in milliseconds by portTICK_PERIOD_MS. FREERTOS_SO_UDPCKSUM_OUT Turn on or off the generation of checksum values for outgoing UDP packets. If lOptionName is FREERTOS_SO_UDPCKSUM_OUT and lOptionValue is NULL (0) then outgoing UDP packets will always have their checksum set to 0. if lOptionName is FREERTOS_SO_UDPCKSUM_OUT and lOptionValue is any value other than NULL (0) then outgoing UDP packets will include a valid checksum value.
pvOptionValue	The meaning of pvOptionValue is dependent on the value of lOptionName. See the description of the lOptionName parameter.
xOptionLength	FreeRTOS+UDP does not [currently] use the xOptionLength parameter. The parameter is included to ensure consistency with the expected standard Berkeley sockets API, and to ensure compatibility with future versions of FreeRTOS+UDP.

Returns:

If lOptionName does not contain a permitted value (as documented above) then FREERTOS_ENOPROTOOPT is returned.

If lOptionName does contain a permitted value then 0 is returned. (0 is the standard Berkeley sockets success return value, contrary to the FreeRTOS standard where 0 means fail!)

Example usage:

This example creates a socket, configures the socket's behaviour in accordance with the function's parameters, then returns the created and configured socket.
