socket_mchopcount6(3)                       DragonFly Library Functions Manual

NAME
       socket_mchopcount6 - set multicast hop count

SYNTAX
       #include <socket.h>

       int socket_mchopcount6(int s,char TTL);

DESCRIPTION
       socket_mchopcount6 sets the maximum hop count of outgoing multicast
       packets on the socket s.  Each router decrements the packet hop count
       by one and discards the packet if it reaches zero.  Setting the maximum
       hop count to 1, for example, will limit the packet propagation to the
       LAN.

       If something goes wrong, socket_mchopcount6 returns -1, setting errno
       appropriately.
