`Socklet`

socket manager

Syntax:

Socklet [-d flag...] [-L] [-l num] [-M num] 
        [-p num] [-S] [-s num] [-t num] [hostname]

-d flag...

Set the specified flags, where flag can be:

forward: Enable gateway support. You should set this flag whenever a QNX host has more than one link interface defined and datagrams must be forwarded from one interface to another (e.g. a host with multiple Ethernet interfaces, or a combination of Ethernet and SLIP interfaces).

-L

-l num

Set the value of SOMAXCONN (minimum from <sys/socket.h>)

-M num

Set the maximum packets in the IP fragmentation queue (default is 200).

-p num

Allow no more than the specified number of PPP interfaces (default is 0).

-S

Turn on source check for received packets (default is off).

-s num

Allow no more than the specified number of SLIP interfaces (default is 0).

-t num

Allocate the specified number of threads. The default is 16; in most cases, you don't need to change this value.

hostname

The name of the local host, as defined in the /etc/hosts file.

The Socklet utility implements the following networking protocols used in TCP/IP for QNX:

If you don't need NFS support, you can use Socklet, which needs less memory than Socket.

Socklet also provides an interface to the socket library; functions in this library can make use of the above protocols.
