Can't we use that here as well? I think of something like: + static unsigned int nlsndbufsiz; static int mnl_set_rcvbuffer(const struct mnl_socket *nl, size_t bufsiz) { + socklen_t len = sizeof(nlsndbufsiz); int ret; + if (!nlsndbufsiz) + ret = getsockopt(mnl_socket_get_fd(nl), SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, + &nlsndbufsiz, &len); + if (nlsndbufsiz >= bufsiz) + return 0; Cheers, Phil
