# setsockopt

Perl functions A-Z | Perl functions by category | The 'perlfunc' manpage

- setsockopt SOCKET,LEVEL,OPTNAME,OPTVAL

  Sets the socket option requested. Returns `undef` on error. Use integer constants provided by the `Socket` module for LEVEL and OPNAME. Values for LEVEL can also be obtained from getprotobyname. OPTVAL might either be a packed string or an integer. An integer OPTVAL is shorthand for pack("i", OPTVAL).

  An example disabling Nagle's algorithm on a socket:

          use Socket qw(IPPROTO_TCP TCP_NODELAY);    setsockopt($socket, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, 1);

  Portability issues: setsockopt in perlport.
