1) "#define ipi_spec_dst ipi_addr" in <netinet/in.h>
2) Change the IP_RECVPKTINFO option to control the generation of
IP_PKTINFO control messages, the way it's done in Solaris.
3) Remove the superfluous IP_RECVPKTINFO control message.
4) Change the IP_PKTINFO option to do different things depending on
the parameter it's supplied with:
- If it's sizeof(int), assume it's being used as in Linux:
- If it's non-zero, turn on the IP_RECVPKTINFO option.
- If it's zero, turn off the IP_RECVPKTINFO option.
- If it's sizeof(struct in_pktinfo), assume it's being used as in
Solaris, to set a default for the source interface and/or
source address for outgoing packets on the socket.
5) Return what Linux or Solaris compatible code expects, depending
on data size, and just added a fallback to a Linux (and current NetBSD)
compatible value if the size is unknown (as it is now), or,
in the future, if the calling application specifies a receiving
buffer that doesn't match either data item.

# 1.40 13-Aug-2017 wiz

Sort/merge errors.


# 1.39 13-Aug-2017 wiz

Remove superfluous Tn markup.


# 1.38 10-Aug-2017 ryo

Add support IP_PKTINFO for sendmsg(2).

The source address or output interface can be specified by adding IP_PKTINFO
to the control part of the message on a SOCK_DGRAM or SOCK_RAW socket.

Reviewed by ozaki-r@ and christos@. thanks.

# 1.27 17-Jul-2009 minskim

Bump date for the previous change.


# 1.26 17-Jul-2009 minskim

Add the IP_MINTTL socket option.

The IP_MINTTL option may be used on SOCK_STREAM sockets to discard
packets with a TTL lower than the option value. This can be used to
implement the Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM) according to
RFC 3682.

OK'ed by christos@.


# 1.25 16-Jul-2009 wiz

New sentence, new line.


# 1.24 16-Jul-2009 minskim

Add the IP_RECVTTL option support.

If the IP_RECVTTL option is enabled on a SOCK_DGRAM socket, the
recvmsg(2) call will return the TTL of the received datagram. The
msg_control field in the msghdr structure points to a buffer that
contains a cmsghdr structure followed by the TTL value.

Modeled after FreeBSD implementation.
