Determine the space required by an IPv6 routing header
#include <netinet/in.h>
size_t inet6_rthdr_space(int type,
int segments);
- type
- The type of IPv6 Routing header (e.g. Type 0 as defined in <netinet/in.h>).
- segments
- The number of segments (addresses) in the Routing header.
libsocket
Use the -l socket option to
qcc
to link against this library.
This function returns the number of bytes required to hold a Routing
header of the specified type containing a specified number of segments
(addresses). For an IPv6 Type 0 Routing header, the number of segments
must be between 1 and 23, inclusive. The return value includes the size
of the cmsghdr structure that precedes the Routing header,
and any required padding.
|
This function returns the size but doesn't allocate the space required for
the ancillary data. This allows an application to allocate
a larger buffer, if other ancillary data objects are desired. All the
ancillary data objects must be specified to sendmsg()
as a single msg_control buffer in the msghdr structure
msg_control member. |
0, for either of the two situations: the type of the routing header isn't
supported by this implementation or the number of segments is invalid
for this type of routing header.
