set_option


Description:

public bool set_option (int level, int optname, int value) throws Error

Sets the value of an integer-valued option on this, as with setsockopt.

(If you need to set a non-integer-valued option, you will need to call setsockopt directly.)

The <gio/gnetworking.h> header pulls in system headers that will define most of the standard/portable socket options. For unusual socket protocols or platform-dependent options, you may need to include additional headers.

Parameters:

this

a Socket

level

the "API level" of the option (eg, `SOL_SOCKET`)

optname

the "name" of the option (eg, `SO_BROADCAST`)

value

the value to set the option to

Returns:

success or failure. On failure, throws will be set, and the system error value (`errno` or WSAGetLastError) will still be set to the result of the setsockopt call.
