+PRSocketOptionData
+==================
+
+Type for structure used with :ref:`PR_GetSocketOption` and
+:ref:`PR_SetSocketOption` to specify options for file descriptors that
+represent sockets.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prio.h>
+
+ typedef struct PRSocketOptionData
+ {
+ PRSockOption option;
+ union
+ {
+ PRUintn ip_ttl;
+ PRUintn mcast_ttl;
+ PRUintn tos;
+ PRBool non_blocking;
+ PRBool reuse_addr;
+ PRBool keep_alive;
+ PRBool mcast_loopback;
+ PRBool no_delay;
+ PRSize max_segment;
+ PRSize recv_buffer_size;
+ PRSize send_buffer_size;
+ PRLinger linger;
+ PRMcastRequest add_member;
+ PRMcastRequest drop_member;
+ PRNetAddr mcast_if;
+ } value;
+ } PRSocketOptionData;
+
+
+Fields
+~~~~~~
+
+The structure has the following fields:
+
+``ip_ttl``
+ IP time-to-live.
+``mcast_ttl``
+ IP multicast time-to-live.
+``tos``
+ IP type-of-service and precedence.
+``non_blocking``
+ Nonblocking (network) I/O.
+``reuse_addr``
+ Allow local address reuse.
+``keep_alive``
+ Periodically test whether connection is still alive.
+``mcast_loopback``
+ IP multicast loopback.
+``no_delay``
+ Disable Nagle algorithm. Don't delay send to coalesce packets.
+``max_segment``
+ TCP maximum segment size.
+``recv_buffer_size``
+ Receive buffer size.
+``send_buffer_size``
+ Send buffer size.
+``linger``
+ Time to linger on close if data are present in socket send buffer.
+``add_member``
+ Join an IP multicast group.
+``drop_member``
+ Leave an IP multicast group.
+``mcast_if``
+ IP multicast interface address.
+
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`PRSocketOptionData` is a name-value pair for a socket option. The
+``option`` field (of enumeration type :ref:`PRSockOption`) specifies the
+name of the socket option, and the ``value`` field (a union of all
+possible values) specifies the value of the option.
