System Functions (s and S) spt_sendmsgx(2)
NAME
spt_sendmsgx - Sends a message on a socket using a message structure (thread-aware version)
LIBRARY
G-series native OSS processes: /G/system/sysnn/zsptsrl
H-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/zsptdll
SYNOPSIS
[#include <sys/socket.h>]
#include <spthread.h>
ssize_t spt_sendmsgx (
int socket,
const struct msghdr *message,
int flags
);
PARAMETERS
socket Specifies the file descriptor of the socket.
message Points to a msghdr structure containing both the destination
address for the outgoing message and the buffers for the outgo-
ing message. The length and format of the address depend on
the address family for the socket. The msg_flags member of the
structure is ignored. For:
AF_INET sockets
A pointer in msghdr to the address structure
sockaddr_in must be cast as a struct sockaddr.
AF_INET6 sockets
A pointer to the address structure sockaddr_in6
must be cast as a struct sockaddr.
AF_UNIX sockets
A pointer to the address structure sockaddr_un
must be cast as a struct sockaddr.
flags Is a value that controls message transmission. The value of the
flags parameter is formed by bitwise ORing zero or more of
these values:
MSG_DONTROUTE
Sends without using routing tables. (Not recom-
mended; use only for debugging purposes.)
MSG_OOB Sends out-of-band data on sockets that support
out-of-band communications.
DESCRIPTION
The spt_sendmsgx() function is the thread-aware version of the sendmsg() function.
The spt_sendmsgx() function sends a message through a connection-oriented or connectionless
socket. If the socket is connectionless, the message is sent to the address specified in the
msghdr structure. If the socket is connection-oriented, the destination address in the msghdr
structure is ignored.
