Name

struct sock_common — minimal network layer representation of sockets

Synopsis

struct sock_common {
  union {unnamed_union};
  atomic_t skc_refcnt;
  unsigned int skc_hash;
  unsigned short skc_family;
  volatile unsigned char skc_state;
  unsigned char skc_reuse;
  int skc_bound_dev_if;
  struct hlist_node skc_bind_node;
  struct proto * skc_prot;
#ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
  struct net * skc_net;
#endif
};

Members

{unnamed_union}: anonymous
skc_refcnt: reference count
skc_hash: hash value used with various protocol lookup tables
skc_family: network address family
skc_state: Connection state
skc_reuse: SO_REUSEADDR setting
skc_bound_dev_if: bound device index if != 0
skc_bind_node: bind hash linkage for various protocol lookup tables
skc_prot: protocol handlers inside a network family
skc_net: reference to the network namespace of this socket

Description

This is the minimal network layer representation of sockets, the header for struct sock and struct inet_timewait_sock.
