.Sh NAME

.Nm udplite
|
|
.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 the entire packet
|
|
is covered by the checksum.
|
|
A value of 1 to 7 must be discarded by the receiver.
|
|
.It Dv UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV
|
|
This option is the receiver-side analogue.
|
|
It is truly optional, i.e. not required to enable traffic
|
|
with partial checksum coverage.
|
|
Its function is that of a traffic filter:
|
|
when enabled, it instructs the kernel to drop
|
|
all packets which have a coverage less than this value.
|
|
.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.
