19 The sctp_send() function sends messages from one-to-one and one-to-many
20 style SCTP endpoints. The following parameters can be set:
21
22 s Socket created by socket(3SOCKET)
23
24
25 msg Message to be sent
26
27
28 len Size of the message to be sent in bytes

31
32 The caller completes the sinfo parameter with values used to send a
33 message. Such values might include the stream number, payload protocol
34 identifier, time to live, and the SCTP message flag and context. For a
35 one-to-many socket, the association ID can be specified in the sinfo
36 parameter to send a message to the association represented in the ID.

38
39 Flags supported for sctp_send() are reserved for future use.

42 Upon successful completion, the sctp_send() function returns the number
43 of bytes sent. The function returns -1 if an error occurs.

46 The sctp_send() function fails under the following conditions.
47
48 EBADF The s argument is an invalid file descriptor.
49
50
51 ENOTSOCK The s argument is not a socket.
52
53
54 EOPNOTSUPP MSG_ABORT or MSG_EOF is set in the sinfo_flags field of
55 sinfo for a one-to-one style SCTP socket.
56
57
58 EPIPE The socket is shutting down and no more writes are
59 allowed.
60
61
62 EAGAIN The socket is non-blocking and the transmit queue is
63 full.
64
65
66 ENOTCONN There is no established association.
67
68
69 EINVAL Control message length is incorrect.
70
71
72 EINVAL Specified destination address does not belong to the
73 association.
74
75
76 EINVAL The stream_no is outside the number of outbound streams
77 supported by the association.
78
79
80 EAFNOSUPPORT Address family of the specified destination address is
81 other than AF_INET or AF_INET6.
