- Importing libexecinfo
- Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
- build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
printing it on the console.
- Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn send ,
|
|
.Fn sendto ,
|
|
.Fn sendmsg ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sendmmsg
|
|
are used to transmit a message to another socket.
|
|
.Fn send
|
|
may be used only when the socket is in a
|
|
.Em connected
|
|
state, while
|
|
.Fn sendto ,
|
|
.Fn sendmsg
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sendmmsg
|
|
may be used at any time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sendmmsg
|
|
call be used to send multiple messages in the same call using an array of
|
|
.Fa mmsghdr
|
|
elements with the following form, as defined in
|
|
.Ao Pa sys/socket.h Ac :
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct mmsghdr {
|
|
struct msghdr msg_hdr; /* the message to be sent */
|
|
unsigned int msg_len; /* number of bytes transmitted */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa msg_len
|
|
member contains the number of bytes sent for each
|
|
.Fa msg_hdr
|
|
member.
|
|
The array has
|
|
.Fa vlen
|
|
elements, which is limited to
|
|
.Dv 1024 .
|
|
If there is an error, a number fewer than
|
|
.Fa vlen
|
|
may be returned, and the error may be retrieved using
|
|
.Xr getsockopt 2
|
|
with
|
|
.Dv SO_ERROR .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The address of the target is given by
|
|
.Fa to
|
|
with
|
|
.Fa tolen
|
|
specifying its size.
|
|
The length of the message is given by
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
If the message is too long to pass atomically through the
|
|
underlying protocol, the error
|
|
.Er EMSGSIZE
|
|
is returned, and
|
|
the message is not transmitted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
No indication of failure to deliver is implicit in a
|
|
.Fn send .
|
|
Locally detected errors are indicated by a return value of \-1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no messages space is available at the socket to hold
|
|
the message to be transmitted, then
|
|
.Fn send
|
|
normally blocks, unless the socket has been placed in
|
|
non-blocking I/O mode.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr select 2
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr poll 2
|
|
call may be used to determine when it is possible to
|
|
send more data.
|
|
Unfortunately this does not work when the interface queue which is used to
|
|
send the message is full, and the call returns
|
|
.Er ENOBUFS .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
parameter may include one or more of the following:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
#define MSG_OOB 0x0001 /* process out-of-band data */
|
|
#define MSG_PEEK 0x0002 /* peek at incoming message */
|
|
#define MSG_DONTROUTE 0x0004 /* bypass routing, use direct interface */
|
|
#define MSG_EOR 0x0008 /* data completes record */
|
|
#define MSG_NOSIGNAL 0x0400 /* do not generate SIGPIPE on EOF */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The flag
|
|
.Dv MSG_OOB
|
|
is used to send
|
|
.Dq out-of-band
|
|
data on sockets that support this notion (e.g.
|
|
.Dv SOCK_STREAM ) ;
|
|
the underlying protocol must also support
|
|
.Dq out-of-band
|
|
data.
|
|
.Dv MSG_EOR
|
|
is used to indicate a record mark for protocols which support the
|
|
concept.
|
|
.\" .Dv MSG_EOF
|
|
.\" requests that the sender side of a socket be shut down, and that an
|
|
.\" appropriate indication be sent at the end of the specified data;
|
|
.\" this flag is only implemented for
|
|
.\" .Dv SOCK_STREAM
|
|
.\" sockets in the
|
|
.\" .Dv PF_INET
|
|
.\" protocol family, and is used to implement Transaction
|
|
.\" .Tn TCP
|
|
.\" (see
|
|
.\" .Xr ttcp 4 ) .
|
|
.Dv MSG_DONTROUTE
|
|
is usually used only by diagnostic or routing programs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr recv 2
|
|
for a description of the
|
|
.Fa msghdr
|
|
structure.
|
|
.Dv MSG_NOSIGNAL
|
|
is used to prevent
|
|
.Dv SIGPIPE
|
|
generation when writing a socket that
|
|
may be closed.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn send ,
|
|
.Fn sendto ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sendmsg
|
|
calls return the number of characters sent, or \-1
|
|
if an error occurred.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sendmmsg
|
|
call returns the number of messages sent, or \-1
|
|
if an error occured.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn send ,
|
|
.Fn sendto ,
|
|
.Fn sendmsg ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sendmmsg
|
|
fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
The SO_BROADCAST option is not set on the socket, and a broadcast address
|
|
was given as the destination.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAFNOSUPPORT
|
|
Addresses in the specified address family cannot be used with this socket.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN|EWOULDBLOCK
|
|
The socket is marked non-blocking and the requested operation
|
|
would block.
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF
|
|
An invalid descriptor was specified.
|
|
.It Bq Er EDSTADDRREQ
|
|
In a non-connected socket a destination address has not been specified.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
An invalid user space address was specified for a parameter.
|
|
.It Bq Er EHOSTDOWN
|
|
The destination is a host on the local subnet and does not respond to
|
|
.Xr arp 4 .
|
|
.It Bq Er EHOSTUNREACH
|
|
The destination for the message is unreachable.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The total length of the I/O is more than can be expressed by the ssize_t
|
|
return value.
|
|
.It Bq Er EMSGSIZE
|
|
The socket requires that message be sent atomically,
|
|
and the size of the message to be sent made this impossible.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
|
|
The system was unable to allocate an internal buffer.
|
|
The operation may succeed when buffers become available.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An alternative reason: the output queue for a network interface was full.
|
|
This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending,
|
|
but may be caused by transient congestion.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTSOCK
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is not a socket.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPIPE
|
|
In a connected socket the connection has been broken.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn sendto
|
|
will also fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EISCONN
|
|
A destination address was specified and the socket is already connected.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn sendmsg
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sendmmsg
|
|
will also fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EMSGSIZE
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa msg_iovlen
|
|
member of the
|
|
.Fa msg
|
|
structure is less than or equal to 0
|
|
or is greater than
|
|
.Brq Dv IOV_MAX .
