|
|
|
|
The \fBares_set_local_dev\fP function causes all future sockets |
|
|
|
|
to be bound to this device with SO_BINDTODEVICE. This forces communications |
|
|
|
|
to go over a certain interface, which can be useful on multi-homed machines. |
|
|
|
|
This option is only supported on Linux, and root privileges are required |
|
|
|
|
for the option to work. If SO_BINDTODEVICE is not supported or the |
|
|
|
|
setsocktop call fails (probably because of permissions), the error is |
|
|
|
|
This option is only supported on Linux, the interface must not be already bound to the |
|
|
|
|
socket or the current effective user must have CAP_NET_RAW capability in the current |
|
|
|
|
network namespace for the option to work. If SO_BINDTODEVICE is not supported or the |
|
|
|
|
setsockopt call fails (probably because of permissions), the error is |
|
|
|
|
silently ignored. |
