The packet socket manual page does not list all socket options. This patch adds descriptions of the common packet socket options PACKET_AUXDATA, PACKET_FANOUT, PACKET_RX_RING, PACKET_STATISTICS, PACKET_TX_RING and the ring-specific options PACKET_LOSS, PACKET_RESERVE, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, PACKET_VERSION It does not yet add descriptions for PACKET_COPY_THRESH, PACKET_HDRLEN, PACKET_ORIGDEV, PACKET_TX_HAS_OFF, PACKET_TX_TIMESTAMP, PACKET_VNET_HDR It tries to balance being informative with exposing kernel detail that is unlikely to be used by most readers or that may change frequently. For implementation details, the manpage points to the documentation in kernel Documentation/networking. Let me know if options should be added or removed. Source: PACKET_FANOUT, PACKET_RX_RING and PACKET_VERSION are in /tools/testing/net/psock_fanout.c in the latest Linux kernel source tree. PACKET_STATISTICS was in the first version of that test. PACKET_TX_RING I have used elsewhere. The other options are based on reading kernel code. [Very minor fixups. -dborkman] Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>
Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@xxxxxxxxxx> I went over the man page again, and it looks good to me.
