Does anyone know what kind of value setsockopt() is expecting
as a parameter to the SO_LINGER flag? I can't find it documented
anywhere. I'm guessing it's a struct timeval, since that seems to
be used a lot in system calls. Does anyone know for sure?

In 4.2BSD (and hence [old?] SunOS), an `int' which is the linger time. To turn it off, you must use SO_DONTLINGER. In 4.3BSD and later, a structure called `linger', defined in <socket.h>: /* * Structure used for manipulating linger option. */ struct linger { int l_onoff; /* option on/off */ int l_linger; /* linger time */ }; -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
