SCTP_RECVV(3) Linux SCTP_RECVV(3)
sctp_recvv - Receive a message from a SCTP socket with an
extensible way.
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/sctp.h>
int sctp_recvv(int sd, const struct iovec * iov, int iovlen,
struct sockaddr * from, socklen_t * fromlen, void * info,
socklen_t * infolen, unsigned int * infotype, int * flags);
sctp_recvv provides an extensible way for the SCTP stack to pass
up different SCTP attributes associated with a received message to
an application. There are two types of attributes that can be
returned by this call: the attribute of the received message and
the attribute of the next message in the receive buffer. The
caller enables the SCTP_RECVRCVINFO and SCTP_RECVNXTINFO socket
options, respectively, to receive these attributes. Attributes of
the received message are returned in struct sctp_rcvinfo, and
attributes of the next message are returned in struct
sctp_nxtinfo. If both options are enabled, both attributes are
returned using the following structure.
struct sctp_recvv_rn {
struct sctp_rcvinfo recvv_rcvinfo;
struct sctp_nxtinfo recvv_nxtinfo;
};
sd is the socket descriptor. iov is the scatter buffer, and only
one user message is returned in this buffer. iovlen is the number
of elements in iov. from is a pointer to a buffer to be filled
with the sender of the received message's address. fromlen is an
in/out parameter describing the from length. info is a pointer to
the buffer to hold the attributes of the received message, the
structure type of info is determined by the info_type parameter.
infolen is an in/out parameter describing the size of the info
buffer. On return, infotype is set to the type of the info
buffer, and the current defined values are as follows:
SCTP_RECVV_NOINFO
If neither SCTP_RECVRCVINFO nor SCTP_RECVNXTINFO options
are enabled, no attribute will be returned. If only the
SCTP_RECVNXTINFO option is enabled but there is no next
message in the buffer, no attribute will be returned. In
these cases, *info_type will be set to SCTP_RECVV_NOINFO.
SCTP_RECVV_RCVINFO
The type of info is struct sctp_rcvinfo, and the attribute
relates to the received message.
SCTP_RECVV_NXTINFO
The type of info is struct sctp_nxtinfo, and the attribute
relates to the next message in the receive buffer. This is
the case when only the SCTP_RECVNXTINFO option is enabled
and there is a next message in the buffer.
SCTP_RECVV_RN
The type of info is struct sctp_recvv_rn. The
recvv_rcvinfo field is the attribute of the received
message, and the recvv_nxtinfo field is the attribute of
the next message in the buffer. This is the case when both
SCTP_RECVRCVINFO and SCTP_RECVNXTINFO options are enabled
and there is a next message in the receive buffer.
flags is pointer to an integer to be filled with any message flags
(e.g., MSG_NOTIFICATION).
On success, sctp_recvv returns the number of bytes received or -1
if an error occurred.
