DESCRIPTION

14       socket_mchopcount6  sets  the  maximum  hop count of outgoing multicast
15       packets on the socket s.  Each router decrements the packet  hop  count
16       by one and discards the packet if it reaches zero.  Setting the maximum
17       hop count to 1, for example, will limit the packet propagation  to  the
18       LAN.
19
20       If  something  goes wrong, socket_mchopcount6 returns -1, setting errno
21       appropriately.
