== DESCRIPTION
|
(((options, socket)))
|
The `nng_socket_set()` functions are used to configure options for
|
the socket _s_.
|
The actual options that may be configured in this way vary, and are
|
specified by _opt_.
|
A number of them are documented in xref:nng_options.5.adoc[nng_options(5)].
|
|
Protocol-specific options are documented with the protocol in question.
|
|
IMPORTANT: Access to transport options via this function is deprecated, and may be
|
removed from a future release. Applications should instead make use of
|
xref:nng_dialer_set.3.adoc[nng_dialer_get] or
|
xref:nng_listener_set.3.adoc[nng_listener_get] for specific dialers or listeners.
|
|
=== Forms
|
|
The details of the type, size, and semantics of the option will depend
|
on the actual option, and is documented with the option itself.
|
|
`nng_socket_set()`::
|
This function is untyped, and can be used to configure any arbitrary data.
|
The _val_ pointer addresses the data to copy, and _valsz_ is the
|
size of the objected located at _val_.
|
|
TIP: It may be easier to use one of the typed forms of this function.
|
|
`nng_socket_set_bool()`::
|
This function is for options which take a Boolean (`bool`).
|
The _bval_ is passed to the option.
|
|
`nng_socket_set_int()`::
|
This function is for options which take an integer (`int`).
|
The _ival_ is passed to the option.
|
|
`nng_socket_set_ms()`::
|
This function is used to configure time durations (such as timeouts) using
|
type xref:nng_duration.5.adoc[`nng_duration`].
|
The duration _dur_ is an integer number of milliseconds.
|
|
`nng_socket_set_ptr()`::
|
This function is used to pass a pointer, _ptr_, to structured data.
|
The data referenced by _ptr_ is generally managed by other functions.
|
For example, TLS configuration objects created with
|
(xref:nng_tls_config_alloc.3tls.adoc[`nng_tls_config_alloc()`])
|
can be passed this way.
|
|
NOTE: This form is somewhat special in that the object is generally
|
not copied, but instead the *pointer* to the object is copied.
|
|
`nng_socket_set_size()`::
|
This function is used to configure a size, _z_, typically for buffer sizes,
|
message maximum sizes, and similar options.
|
|
`nng_socket_set_string()`::
|
This function is used to pass configure a string, _str_.
|
Strings passed this way must be legal UTF-8 or ASCII strings, terminated
|
with a `NUL` (`\0`) byte.
|
(Other constraints may apply as well, see the documentation for each option
|
for details.)
|
|
`nng_socket_set_uint64()`::
|
This function is used to configure a 64-bit unsigned value, _u64_.
|
This is typically used for options related to identifiers, network numbers,
|
and similar.
|
|
== RETURN VALUES
|
|
These functions return 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
|
|
== ERRORS
|
|
[horizontal]
|
`NNG_ECLOSED`:: Parameter _s_ does not refer to an open socket.
|
`NNG_EINVAL`:: The value being passed is invalid.
|
`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: The option _opt_ is not supported.
|
`NNG_EREADONLY`:: The option _opt_ is read-only.
|
`NNG_ESTATE`:: The socket is in an inappropriate state for setting this option.
