As the change is fairly obvious, and the holiday is approaching, I've set the timer to 12/22/2006. The case exposure is set to 'open,' as this was originally discussed on an open list, and there's nothing proprietary involved. This project has a Patch/Micro release binding and the interface stability level is Committed. Currently, there is no reliable way for an application to find out the underlying protocol used in a socket. While this is not a problem if the socket is created by the application itself, it is an issue if the socket is passed from other applications such as inetd(1M). This project proposes to extend the existing socket option SO_PROTOTYPE to be used in socket type other than raw and routing socket as a get only option. If the socket's domain is AF_INET or AF_INET6, the option will return the underlying protocol number used in the socket. If the socket's domain is AF_ROUTE, the option will return the underlying address family used in the socket. This project does not propose to include the use of the option on raw sockets, as currently raw socket mode is not documented anywhere. Since the SO_PROTOTYPE option user really needs to know the domain of a socket to determine the meaning of the return value, this project introduces a new get only option, SO_DOMAIN, which returns the domain used in a socket. This option is applicable to all types of socket. The following will be added to the getsockopt(3SOCKET) man page: --- + SO_DOMAIN get the domain used in the socket (get only) + + SO_PROTOTYPE for socket in domains PF_INET and PF_INET6, + get the underlying protocol number used in + the socket. For socket in domain PF_ROUTE, + get the address family used in the socket. + + + SO_DEBUG enables debugging in the underlying protocol modules. SO_REUSEADDR indicates that the rules used in vali- dating addresses supplied in a bind(3SOCKET) call should --- The following will be added to getsockopt(3XNET) man page: --- + SO_DOMAIN get the domain used in the socket (get only) + + SO_PROTOTYPE for socket in domains AF_INET and AF_INET6, + get the underlying protocol number used in + the socket. For socket in domain AF_ROUTE, + get the address family used in the socket. + + + For boolean options, 0 indicates that the option is disabled and 1 indicates that the option is enabled. --- From sacadmin Wed Dec 20 16:09:16 2006 Received: from phorcys.east.sun.com (phorcys.East.Sun.COM [129.148.174.143]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.6+Sun/8.13.6) with ESMTP id kBL09FYI015674 for ; Wed, 20 Dec 2006 16:09:16 -0800 (PST) Received: from phorcys.east.sun.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by phorcys.east.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id kBL0D0tr013034; Wed, 20 Dec 2006 19:13:00 -0500 (EST) Received: (from carlsonj@localhost) by phorcys.east.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/Submit) id kBL0D0EG013031; Wed, 20 Dec 2006 19:13:00 -0500 (EST) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <17801.53643.651097.257191@gargle.gargle.HOWL> Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2006 19:12:59 -0500 From: James Carlson To: psarc@sac.sfbay.sun.com cc: kacheong.poon@sun.com Subject: Re: 2006/712 Extend SO_PROTOTYPE In-Reply-To: <17798.52361.919947.852686@gargle.gargle.HOWL> References: <17798.52361.919947.852686@gargle.gargle.HOWL> X-Mailer: VM 7.01 under Emacs 21.3.1 Status: RO Content-Length: 301 This fast-track request was approved during ARC business at today's meeting. -- James Carlson, KISS Network Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
