inferring accepted/connected from a struct sock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I realize this is a bit of an odd question.

If I have a struct sock * (type=SOCK_STREAM  family=AF_INET) is there any
way (state == TCP_ESTABLISHED) to determine if the socket was the result of 
an accept or a connect?

I realize that I could squirrel away this info into an unused portion of the
structure (via changing sys_accept and sys_connect), but I was hoping there 
may be an artifact of the existing information that I could use to infer the 
distinction?

I've traced thru the respective system calls and don't see anything, but maybe
I missed something.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tony
