<html> <body> <pre> NAME sendto - send a message from a socket SYNOPSIS #include <network.h> int sendto(int s, const void *msg, int len, unsigned int flags, const struct sockaddr *to, int tolen); DESCRIPTION Sendto is used to transmit a message to another socket. The address of the target is given by to with tolen speci fying its size. The length of the message is given by len. If the message is too long to pass atomically through the underlying protocol, the error EMSGSIZE is returned, and the message is not transmitted. No indication of failure to deliver is implicit in a send. Locally detected errors are indicated by a return value of -1. When the message does not fit into the send buffer of the socket, send normally blocks, unless the socket has been placed in non-blocking I/O mode. In non-blocking mode it would return EAGAIN in this case. The select(2) call may be used to determine when it is possible to send more data. The flags parameter may include one or more of the follow ing: #define MSG_OOB 0x1 /* process out-of-band data */ #define MSG_DONTROUTE 0x4 /* bypass routing, use direct interface */ #define MSG_DONTWAIT 0x40 /* don't block */ #define MSG_NOSIGNAL 0x2000 /* don't raise SIGPIPE */ MSG_OOB Sends out-of-band data on sockets that support this notion (e.g. SOCK_STREAM); the underlying protocol must also support out-of-band data. MSG_DONTROUTE Bypasses the usual routing table lookup and sends the packet directly to the interface described by the destination address. This is usually used only by diagnostic or routing programs. MSG_DONTWAIT Enables non-blocking operation; if the operation would block, EAGAIN is returned. MSG_NOSIGNAL Requests not to send SIGPIPE on errors on stream oriented sockets when the other end breaks the con nection. The EPIPE error is still returned. See recv(2) for a description of the msghdr structure. You may send control information using the msg_control and msg_controllen members. The maximum control buffer length the kernel can process is limited by the net.core.opt mem_max sysctl; see socket(4). RETURN VALUES The calls return the number of characters sent, or -1 if an error occurred. ERRORS These are some standard errors generated by the socket layer. Additional errors may be generated and returned from the underlying protocol modules; see their respective manual pages. EBADF An invalid descriptor was specified. ENOTSOCK The argument s is not a socket. EMSGSIZE The socket requires that message be sent atomi cally, and the size of the message to be sent made this impossible. EAGAIN The socket is marked non-blocking and the requested operation would block. ENOBUFS The system was unable to allocate an internal mem ory block. The operation may succeed when buffers become available. EINTR A signal occurred. ENOMEM No memory available. EINVAL Invalid argument passed. EPIPE The local end has been shut down on a connection oriented socket. In this case the process will also receive a SIGPIPE unless MSG_NOSIGNAL is set. </pre> </body> </html>
