Socket Options

The ctrl/sockopts.ini .ini file allows global control over the socket options that are applied when Synchronet creates network sockets.

• The root section contains options that are applied to all opened sockets.

• The [tcp] section contains options that are applied only to opened TCP (so-called STREAM) sockets.

• The [udp] section contains options that are applied only to opened UDP (so-called DATAGRAM) sockets.

• The [unix] section contains options that are applied only to opened Unix Domain sockets.

• Other sections may be defined with one or more protocol names (separated by |) as the section name and for these sections, the socket options contained within are only applied to opened sockets for the specified protocol(s).

Most of the options should not be changed by the sysop without a detailed understanding of the effects. That said, here's the list of supported options (many are OS/Network stack dependent):

• Configuration
• Linux socket interface
• Windows Socket Options
• Windows SOL_SOCKET Socket Options
