https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16461 Summary: Socket option SO_MARK undocumented. Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: man-pages AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: textshell-tSIEzQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No hi, commit 4a19ec5800fc3bb64e2d87c4d9fdd9e636086fe0 in Jan 2008 added the new SO_MARK socket option. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=4a19ec5800fc3bb64e2d87c4d9fdd9e636086fe0 A possible text for this option could maybe be (from the above commit message) SO_MARK Set the mark for each packets this socket sends (similar to the netfilter MARK target but socket based). Changing the mark can be used for mark based routing without netfilter or for packet filtering. Setting this option is only allowed for processes with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. -- I'm not sure if the sentence about CAP_NET_ADMIN is right for the manpage. Similar options seem to mention effective uid=0 also. The code only checks for the CAP_NET_ADMIN, but some other layer might set that when gaining uid 0. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
