pNA+ System Calls ioctl
Operation Description
FIONBIO Sets the blocking mode of the socket. If the integer pointed to
by arg equals 1, the socket is set to operate in non-blocking
mode. If the integer pointed to by arg equals 0, the socket is
set to operate in blocking (default) mode. Normally, socket
operations that cannot be immediately completed cause the
task that initiated the operation to block. If a socket is
marked non-blocking, an operation request that cannot
complete without waiting does not execute, and an error is
returned.
FIOREAD Returns the number of bytes stored in the socket's input
buffer in the integer pointed to by arg.
FIOSETOWN Assigns an owner to the socket. The parameter arg should
point to an integer that provides the task ID (tid) of the
socket’s owner. This tid is passed as an input parameter to
the user signal handler.
SIOCATMARK Determines whether out-of-band is available. If the data
available at the socket is out-of-band data, the integer
pointed to by arg is set equal to 1. Otherwise, it equals 0
upon return.
SIOCSSBMAX Upon creation of a socket, pNA+ assigns a maximum total
default size of 128 Kbytes for send and receive socket buffer
queues. This operation changes the maximum total size.
This may be used to increase end-to-end throughput for fast
networks.
SIOCGSBMAX Gets the total maximum send and receive socket buffer
queue size that pNA+ assigns to newly created sockets.
