NNG_SETOPT(3)

NAME
nng_setopt - set socket option

SYNOPSIS

    #include <nng/nng.h>
    int nng_setopt(nng_socket s, const char *opt, const void *val, size_t valsz);
    int nng_setopt_bool(nng_socket s, const char *opt, bool bval);
    int nng_setopt_int(nng_socket s, const char *opt, int ival);
    int nng_setopt_ms(nng_socket s, const char *opt, nng_duration dur);
    int nng_setopt_ptr(nng_socket s, const char *opt, void *ptr);
    int nng_setopt_size(nng_socket s, const char *opt, size_t z);
    int nng_setopt_string(nng_socket s, const char *opt, const char *str);
    int nng_setopt_uint64(nng_socket s, const char *opt, uint64_t u64);

DESCRIPTION

    Important

    These functions are deprecated. Please see nng_socket_set. They may not be present if the library was built with NNG_ELIDE_DEPRECATED.

The nng_setopt() 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 nng_options(5).

Additionally some transport-specific and protocol-specific options are documented with the transports and protocols themselves.

  Forms

The details of the type, size, and semantics of the option will depend on the actual option, and will be documented with the option itself.

nng_setopt()
    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_setopt_bool()
    This function is for options which take a Boolean (bool). The bval is passed to the option.

nng_setopt_int()
    This function is for options which take an integer (int). The ival is passed to the option.

nng_setopt_ms()
    This function is used to configure time durations (such as timeouts) using type nng_duration. The duration dur is an integer number of milliseconds.

nng_setopt_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 (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_setopt_size()
    This function is used to configure a size, z, typically for buffer sizes, message maximum sizes, and similar options.

nng_setopt_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_setopt_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

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.
