socket_mchopcount6(3)	    Library Functions Manual	   socket_mchopcount6(3)

NAME
     socket_mchopcount6 - set multicast hop count

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/socket.h>

     int socket_mchopcount6(int s,char TTL);

DESCRIPTION
     socket_mchopcount6 sets the maximum hop count of outgoing multicast packets
     on  the  socket  s.  Each router decrements the packet hop count by one and
     discards the packet if it reaches zero.  Setting the maximum hop  count  to
     1, for example, will limit the packet propagation to the LAN.

     If  something  goes wrong, socket_mchopcount6 returns -1, setting errno ap-
     propriately.
