socket_mchopcount6 - set multicast hop count
Contents
Description
socket_mchopcount6 sets the maximum hop count of outgoing multicast packets on the socket s. Each router
decrements the packet hop count by one and discards the packet if it reaches zero. Setting the maximum
hop count to 1, for example, will limit the packet propagation to the LAN.
If something goes wrong, socket_mchopcount6 returns -1, setting errno appropriately.
