setOption

open fun setOption(level: <Error class: unknown class>, optname: <Error class: unknown class>, value: <Error class: unknown class>): <Error class: unknown class><Boolean>

Sets the value of an integer-valued option on @socket, as with setsockopt(). (If you need to set a non-integer-valued option, you will need to call setsockopt() directly.)

The networking.html header pulls in system headers that will define most of the standard/portable socket options. For unusual socket protocols or platform-dependent options, you may need to include additional headers.

Return

success or failure. On failure, @error will be set, and the system error value (errno or WSAGetLastError()) will still be set to the result of the setsockopt() call.

Since

2.36

Parameters

level

the "API level" of the option (eg, SOL_SOCKET)

optname

the "name" of the option (eg, SO_BROADCAST)

value

the value to set the option to
