|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sctp_send
|
|
system calls
|
|
is used to transmit a message to another SCTP endpoint.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sctp_send
|
|
may be used to send data to an existing association for both
|
|
one-to-many (SOCK_SEQPACKET) and one-to-one (SOCK_STREAM) socket types.
|
|
The length of the message
|
|
.Fa msg
|
|
is given by
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
If the message is too long to pass atomically through the
|
|
underlying protocol, the errno is set to
|
|
.Er EMSGSIZE
|
|
a -1 is returned, and
|
|
the message is not transmitted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
No indication of failure to deliver is implicit in a
|
|
.Fn sctp_send
|
|
Locally detected errors are indicated by a return value of -1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no messages space is available at the socket to hold
|
|
the message to be transmitted, then
|
|
.Fn sctp_send
|
|
normally blocks, unless the socket has been placed in
|
|
non-blocking I/O mode.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn select 2
|
|
system call may be used to determine when it is possible to
|
|
send more data on one-to-one type (SOCK_STREAM) sockets.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo
|
|
structure is used to control various SCTP features
|
|
and has the following format:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct sctp_sndrcvinfo {
|
|
u_int16_t sinfo_stream; /* Stream sending to */
|
|
u_int16_t sinfo_ssn; /* valid for recv only */
|
|
u_int16_t sinfo_flags; /* flags to control sending */
|
|
u_int32_t sinfo_ppid; /* ppid field */
|
|
u_int32_t sinfo_context; /* context field */
|
|
u_int32_t sinfo_timetolive; /* timetolive for PR-SCTP */
|
|
u_int32_t sinfo_tsn; /* valid for recv only */
|
|
u_int32_t sinfo_cumtsn; /* valid for recv only */
|
|
sctp_assoc_t sinfo_assoc_id; /* The association id */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_ppid
|
|
argument is an opaque 32 bit value that is passed transparently
|
|
through the stack to the peer endpoint. It will be available on
|
|
reception of a message (see
|
|
.Fn sctp_recvmsg 2
|
|
). Note that the stack passes this value without regard to byte
|
|
order.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_flags
|
|
argument may include one or more of the following:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
#define SCTP_EOF 0x0100 /* Start a shutdown procedures */
|
|
#define SCTP_ABORT 0x0200 /* Send an ABORT to peer */
|
|
#define SCTP_UNORDERED 0x0400 /* Message is un-ordered */
|
|
#define SCTP_ADDR_OVER 0x0800 /* Override the primary-address */
|
|
#define SCTP_SENDALL 0x1000 /* Send this on all associations */
|
|
/* for the endpoint */
|
|
/* The lower byte is an enumeration of PR-SCTP policies */
|
|
#define SCTP_PR_SCTP_TTL 0x0001 /* Time based PR-SCTP */
|
|
#define SCTP_PR_SCTP_BUF 0x0002 /* Buffer based PR-SCTP */
|
|
#define SCTP_PR_SCTP_RTX 0x0003 /* Number of retransmissions based PR-SCTP */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The flag
|
|
.Dv SCTP_EOF
|
|
is used to instruct the SCTP stack to queue this message
|
|
and then start a graceful shutdown of the association. All
|
|
remaining data in queue will be sent after which the association
|
|
will be shutdown.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dv SCTP_ABORT
|
|
is used to immediately terminate an association. An abort
|
|
is sent to the peer and the local TCB is destroyed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dv SCTP_UNORDERED
|
|
is used to specify that the message being sent has no
|
|
specific order and should be delivered to the peer application
|
|
as soon as possible. When this flag is absent messages
|
|
are delivered in order within the stream they are sent, but without
|
|
respect to order to peer streams.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The flag
|
|
.Dv SCTP_ADDR_OVER
|
|
is used to specify that an specific address should be used. Normally
|
|
SCTP will use only one of a multi-homed peers address as the primary
|
|
address to send to. By default, no matter what the
|
|
.Fa to
|
|
argument is, this primary address is used to send data. By specifying
|
|
this flag, the user is asking the stack to ignore the primary address
|
|
and instead use the specified address not only has a lookup mechanism
|
|
to find the association but also has the actual address to send to.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For a one-to-many type (SOCK_SEQPACKET) socket the flag
|
|
.Dv SCTP_SENDALL
|
|
can be used as a convient way to make one send call and have
|
|
all associations that are under the socket get a copy of the message.
|
|
Note that this mechanism is quite efficent and makes only one actual
|
|
copy of the data which is shared by all the associations for sending.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The remaining flags are used for the partial reliabilty extension (RFC3758)
|
|
and will only be effective if the peer endpoint supports this extension.
|
|
This option specify's what local policy the local endpoint should use
|
|
in skipping data. If none of these options are set, then data is
|
|
never skipped over.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dv SCTP_PR_SCTP_TTL
|
|
Is used to indicate that a time based lifetime is being applied
|
|
to the data. The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_timetolive
|
|
argument is then a number of milliseconds for which the data is
|
|
attempted to be transmitted. If that many milliseconds ellapses
|
|
and the peer has not acknowledge the data, the data will be
|
|
skipped and no longer transmitted. Note that this policy does
|
|
not even assure that the data will ever be sent. In times of a congestion
|
|
with large amounts of data being queued, the
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_timetolive
|
|
may expire before the first transmission is ever made.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SCTP_PR_SCTP_BUF
|
|
based policy transforms the
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_timetolive
|
|
field into a total number of bytes allowed on the outbound
|
|
send queue. If that number or more bytes are in queue, then
|
|
other buffer based sends are looked to be removed and
|
|
skipped. Note that this policy may also result in the data
|
|
never being sent if no buffer based sends are in queue and
|
|
the maximum specified by
|
|
.Fa timetolive
|
|
bytes is in queue.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SCTP_PR_SCTP_RTX
|
|
policy transforms the
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_timetolive
|
|
into a number of retransmissions to allow. This policy
|
|
always assures that at a minimum one send attempt is
|
|
made of the data. After which no more than
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_timetolive
|
|
retransmissions will be made before the data is skipped.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_stream
|
|
is the SCTP stream that you wish to send the
|
|
message on. Streams in SCTP are reliable (or partially reliable) flows of ordered
|
|
messages.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_assoc_id
|
|
field is used to
|
|
select the association to send to on an one-to-many socket. For a
|
|
one-to-one socket, this field is ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_context
|
|
field is used only in the event the message cannot be sent. This is an opaque
|
|
value that the stack retains and will give to the user when a failed send
|
|
is given if that notification is enabled (see
|
|
.Tn sctp
|
|
). Normally a user process can use this value to index some application
|
|
specific data structure when a send cannot be fulfilled.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument holds the same meaning and values has those found in
|
|
.Fn sendmsg 2
|
|
but is generally ignored by SCTP.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The fields
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_ssn ,
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_tsn ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_cumtsn
|
|
are used only when receiving messages and are thus ignored by
|
|
.Fn sctp_send.
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn sctp_sendx
|
|
has the same properties as
|
|
.Fn sctp_send
|
|
with the additional arguments of an array of sockaddr structures
|
|
passed in. With the
|
|
.Fa addrs
|
|
argument being given as an array of addresses to be sent to and
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa addrcnt
|
|
argument indicating how many socket addresses are in the passed
|
|
in array. Note that all of the addresses will only be used
|
|
when an implicit association is being setup. This allows the
|
|
user the equivilant behavior as doing a
|
|
.Fn sctp_connectx
|
|
followed by a
|
|
.Fn sctp_send
|
|
to the association. Note that if the association id.
|
|
.Fa sinfo->sinfo_assoc_id
|
|
field is 0, then the first address will be used to look up
|
|
the association in place of the association id. If both
|
|
an address and and association id are specified, the association
|
|
id has priority.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The call returns the number of characters sent, or -1
|
|
if an error occurred.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sctp_send
|
|
system call
|
|
fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF
|
|
An invalid descriptor was specified.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTSOCK
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is not a socket.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
An invalid user space address was specified for an argument.
|
|
.It Bq Er EMSGSIZE
|
|
The socket requires that message be sent atomically,
|
|
and the size of the message to be sent made this impossible.
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
The socket is marked non-blocking and the requested operation
|
|
would block.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
|
|
The system was unable to allocate an internal buffer.
|
|
The operation may succeed when buffers become available.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
|
|
The output queue for a network interface was full.
|
|
This generally indicates that the interface has stopped sending,
|
|
but may be caused by transient congestion.
|
|
.It Bq Er EHOSTUNREACH
|
|
The remote host was unreachable.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTCON
|
|
On a one to one style socket no association exists.
|
|
.It Bq Er ECONNRESET
|
|
An abort was received by the stack while the user was
|
|
attempting to send data to the peer.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOENT
|
|
On a one to many style socket no address is specified
|
|
so that the association cannot be located or the
|
|
SCTP_ABORT flag was specified on a non-existing association.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPIPE
|
|
The socket is unable to send anymore data
|
|
.Dv ( SBS_CANTSENDMORE
|
|
has been set on the socket).
|
|
This typically means that the socket
|
|
is not connected and is a one-to-one style socket.

|
|
Because
|
|
.Fn sctp_send
|
|
may have multiple associations under one endpoint, a
|
|
select on write will only work for a one-to-one style
|
|
socket.
