Multicast with AF_LOCAL or AF_UNIX sockets on Linux? -
is possible have multicast communications on af_unix
sock_dgram
socket on linux ?
apparently a patch proposed on decade ago. however, cannot find resource on internet showing usage. , following simple code reports operation not supported
.
u_int yes = 1; int fd = socket(af_local, sock_dgram, 0); setsockopt(fd, sol_socket, so_reuseaddr, &yes, sizeof(yes));
the patch refer never applied.
you can't multicast on af_unix sockets, , @ least on linux, so_reuseaddr doesn't have meaning (it's not implemented) af_unix sockets.
