BasicSocket::setsockopt() what do the different constants mean

Ruby
1

When I call the setsockopt, what do the different SOL_ and SO_ constants
mean? The explanation on the ruby docs doesn’t really tell me what is
being set.

Thanks for the help!

Have a look at these and see if they clear any of it up for you.

man setsockopt
man 7 socket
