SCTP_PEELOFF(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SCTP_PEELOFF(3)NAMEsctp_peeloff - Branch off an association into a separate socket.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/sctp.h>
int sctp_peeloff(int sd, sctp_assoc_t assoc_id);
DESCRIPTIONsctp_peeloff branches off an existing association assoc_id on a one-to-
many style socket sd into a separate socket. The new socket is a one-
to-one style socket.
This is particularly desirable when, for instance, the application
wishes to have a number of sporadic message senders/receivers remain
under the original one-to-many style socket, but branch off those asso‐
cations carrying high volume data traffic into their own separate
socket descriptors.
RETURN VALUE
On success, the new socket descriptor representing the branched-off
asociation is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set
appropriately.
ERRORS
EBADF sd is not a valid descriptor.
EINVAL The assoc id passed is invalid or if the socket is a one-to-one
style socket.
ENOTSOCK
Argument is a descriptor for a file, not a socket.
