9003.0. "t_optmgmt alternatives?" by CSC32::BLAYLOCK (If at first you doubt,doubt again.) Fri Feb 28 1997 12:06

In the documentation (V4.0) for the t_optmgmt routine, the statement

                                   "Note

     Although other transport providers may support the t_optmgmt
     function, the Digital UNIX TCP transport provider does not. 
     See the transport provider documentation for information about
     option management. 

See t_optmgmt(3) for more information." 


is made.  The man page for t_optmgmt(3) has no references to
any restrictions on its use.

If t_optmgmt is unsupported, what supported alternatives are there
for this?  The goal is to set the equivalent of TCP_KEEPALIVE 
(from the xti_internet(7) man page).

A similar question was asked in Note 5618.0 of the ALPHA_OSF_IFT
notes file with response.

Masha didn't have time to post before leaving on a business trip,
but here is her response:
	we do support t_optmgmnt for xpg4 (starting with v4.0,
	to the capacity specifies by xpg4 x/open manual.

Thanks for the information and I have passed that on to 
my customer.  I will submit the documentation change request
to get an update to the Network Programming Guide changed
to reflect this.
