NAME
mtcp_ioctl - control mTCP socket
SYNOPSIS
#include <mtcp_api.h> "int mtcp_ioctl(mctx_t " mctx ", int " sockid ", int " request ", void * " argp );
DESCRIPTION
mtcp_ioctl () can be used to retrieve certain attributes from an mTCP (of type SOCK_STREAM) socket via descriptor id, "sockid." The third argument, "request" is used by the caller to fetch the attribute type. The fourth argument, "argp" is an untyped pointer to memory that mtcp_ioctl () uses for storing the returning value. Currently, mtcp_ioctl () only supports 1 type of "request."

12 FIONREAD The number of bytes that can be read from the receive buffer when mtcp_read () is called. The user should pass "argp" pointing to a memory region that can store a variable of size ssize_t .

Note that "mtcp_ioctl()" assumes that the CPU core-id (as set inside "mctx" structure) will be used as the value for NIC queue-id, which the mTCP context will eventually access during its operation. For example, mTCP context running on core 3 will read traffic from NIC hardware queue-id 3. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 on success; -1 on failure. In case of failure, "errno" is set appropriately. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
ERRORS

12 EACCES "mctx" is invalid

12 EBADF "sockid" is invalid.

12 "EFAULT" "argp" is NULL. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
