NAME

       sctp_generic_sendmsg sctp_generic_sendmsg_iov — send data to a peer

LIBRARY

       Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/socket.h>
       #include <netinet/sctp.h>

       int
       sctp_generic_sendmsg(int   s,   void   *msg,   int   msglen,   struct   sockaddr   *to,   socklen_t  len,
           struct sctp_sndrcvinfo *sinfo, int flags);

       int
       sctp_generic_sendmsg_iov(int   s,   struct   iovec   *iov,   int    iovlen,    struct    sockaddr    *to,
           struct sctp_sndrcvinfo *sinfo, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       sctp_generic_sendmsg()   and   sctp_generic_sendmsg_iov()   are   the  true  system  calls  used  by  the
       sctp_sendmsg(3) and sctp_send(3) function calls.  These are more efficient since  they  are  true  system
       calls  but  they  are  specific  to  FreeBSD and can be expected not to be present on any other operating
       system.  For detailed usage please see either the sctp_send(3) or sctp_sendmsg(3) function calls.

RETURN VALUES

       The call returns the number of bytes written on success and -1 upon failure.

ERRORS

       [EBADF]            The argument s is not a valid descriptor.

       [ENOTSOCK]         The argument s is not a socket.
