that this means full checksum coverage for received packets. If an application is willing to accept packets with partial coverage, it is expected to use the socekt option and provice the minimum coverage it accepts. Reviewed by: kevlo MFC after: 3 days

|
.Nd Lightweight User Datagram Protocol
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS

.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/socket.h
|
|
.In netinet/udplite.h
|
|
.Ft int

|
.Fn socket AF_INET SOCK_DGRAM IPPROTO_UDPLITE
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn UDP-Lite
|
|
protocol provides a partial checksum which allows
|
|
corrupted packets to be transmitted to the receiving
|
|
application.
|
|
This has advantages for some types of multimedia
|
|
transport that may be able to make use of slightly
|
|
damaged datagrams, rather than having them discarded
|
|
by lower-layer protocols.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Tn UDP-Lite
|
|
supports a number of socket options which can be set with
|
|
.Xr setsockopt 2
|
|
and tested with
|
|
.Xr getsockopt 2 :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV"
|
|
.It Dv UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV
|
|
This option sets the sender checksum coverage.
|
|
A value of zero indicates that all sent packets will have
|
|
full checksum coverage.
|
|
A value of 8 to 65535 limits the checksum coverage of all sent packets
|
|
to the value given.
|
|
.It Dv UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV
|
|
This option is the receiver-side analogue.
|
|
A value of zero instructs the kernel to drop all received packets
|
|
not having full checksum coverage.
|
|
A value of 8 to 65535 instructs the kernel to drop all received
|
|
packets with a partial checksum coverage smaller than the value specified.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
A socket operation may fail with one of the following errors returned:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EISCONN
|
|
when trying to establish a connection on a socket which
|
|
already has one, or when trying to send a datagram with the destination
|
|
address specified and the socket is already connected;
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTCONN
|
|
when trying to send a datagram, but
|
|
no destination address is specified, and the socket has not been
|
|
connected;
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
|
|
when the system runs out of memory for
|
|
an internal data structure;
|
|
.It Bq Er EADDRINUSE
|
|
when an attempt
|
|
is made to create a socket with a port which has already been
|
|
allocated;
|
|
.It Bq Er EADDRNOTAVAIL
|
|
when an attempt is made to create a
|
|
socket with a network address for which no network interface
|
|
exists.
