NAME -.Nm ip6 -.Nd Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) -.Sh SYNOPSIS -.Fd #include <sys/socket.h> -.Fd #include <netinet/in.h> -.Ft int -.Fn socket AF_INET6 SOCK_RAW proto -.Sh DESCRIPTION -.Tn IPv6 -is the network layer protocol used by the Internet protocol version 6 family -.Pq Dv AF_INET6 . -Options may be set at the -.Tn IPv6 -level when using higher-level protocols that are based on -.Tn IPv6 -(such as -.Tn TCP -and -.Tn UDP ) . -It may also be accessed through a -.Dq raw socket -when developing new protocols, or special-purpose applications. -.Pp -There are several -.Tn IPv6-level -.Xr setsockopt 2 / Ns Xr getsockopt 2 -options. -They are separated into the basic IPv6 sockets API -.Pq defined in RFC 2553 , -and the advanced API -.Pq defined in RFC 2292 . -The basic API looks very similar to the API presented in -.Xr ip 4 . -Advanced API uses ancillary data and can handle more complex cases. -.Pp -To specify some socket options, a certain level of privilege -(i.e. root privilege) is required. -.\" -.Ss Basic IPv6 sockets API -.Dv IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS -may be used to set the hoplimit field in the -.Tn IPv6 -header. -As the symbol name suggests, the option controls the hoplimit field -on unicast packets. -If -1 is specified, the kernel will use a default value. -If a value of 0 to 255 is specified, the packet will have the specified -value as hoplimit. -Other values are considered invalid, and -.Dv EINVAL -will be returned. -For example: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -int hlim = 60; /* max = 255 */ -setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS, &hlim, sizeof(hlim)); -.Ed -.Pp -.Tn IPv6 -multicasting is supported only on -.Dv AF_INET6 -sockets of type -.Dv SOCK_DGRAM -and -.Dv SOCK_RAW , -and only on networks where the interface driver supports multicasting. -.Pp -The -.Dv IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS -option changes the hoplimit for outgoing multicast datagrams -in order to control the scope of the multicasts: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -unsigned int hlim; /* range: 0 to 255, default = 1 */ -setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS, &hlim, sizeof(hlim)); -.Ed -.Pp -Datagrams with a hoplimit of 1 are not forwarded beyond the local network. -Multicast datagrams with a hoplimit of 0 will not be transmitted on any network, -but may be delivered locally if the sending host belongs to the destination -group and if multicast loopback has not been disabled on the sending socket -(see below). -Multicast datagrams with a hoplimit greater than 1 may be forwarded -to other networks if a multicast router is attached to the local network. -.Pp -For hosts with multiple interfaces, each multicast transmission is -sent from the primary network interface. -The -.Dv IPV6_MULTICAST_IF -option overrides the default for -subsequent transmissions from a given socket: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -unsigned int outif; -outif = if_nametoindex("ne0"); -setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_MULTICAST_IF, &outif, sizeof(outif)); -.Ed -.Pp -where "outif" is an interface index of the desired interface, -or 0 to specify the default interface. -.Pp -If a multicast datagram is sent to a group to which the sending host itself -belongs (on the outgoing interface), a copy of the datagram is, by default, -looped back by the IPv6 layer for local delivery. -The -.Dv IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP -option gives the sender explicit control -over whether or not subsequent datagrams are looped back: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -u_char loop; /* 0 = disable, 1 = enable (default) */ -setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP, &loop, sizeof(loop)); -.Ed -.Pp -This option -improves performance for applications that may have no more than one -instance on a single host (such as a router daemon), by eliminating -the overhead of receiving their own transmissions. -It should generally not be used by applications for which there -may be more than one instance on a single host (such as a conferencing -program) or for which the sender does not belong to the destination -group (such as a time querying program). -.Pp -A multicast datagram sent with an initial hoplimit greater than 1 may be -delivered to the sending host on a different interface from that on which -it was sent, if the host belongs to the destination group on that other -interface. -The loopback control option has no effect on such delivery. -.Pp -A host must become a member of a multicast group before it can receive -datagrams sent to the group. -To join a multicast group, use the -.Dv IPV6_JOIN_GROUP -option: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -struct ipv6_mreq mreq6; -setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_JOIN_GROUP, &mreq6, sizeof(mreq6)); -.Ed -.Pp -where -.Fa mreq6 -is the following structure: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -struct ipv6_mreq { - struct in6_addr ipv6mr_multiaddr; - unsigned int ipv6mr_interface; -}; -.Ed -.Pp -.Dv ipv6mr_interface -should be 0 to choose the default multicast interface, or the -interface index of a particular multicast-capable interface if -the host is multihomed. -Membership is associated with a single interface; -programs running on multihomed hosts may need to -join the same group on more than one interface. -.Pp -To drop a membership, use: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -struct ipv6_mreq mreq6; -setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP, &mreq6, sizeof(mreq6)); -.Ed -.Pp -where -.Fa mreq6 -contains the same values as used to add the membership. -Memberships are dropped when the socket is closed or the process exits. -.Pp -.Dv IPV6_PORTRANGE -controls how ephemeral ports are allocated for -.Dv SOCK_STREAM -and -.Dv SOCK_DGRAM -sockets. -For example, -.Bd -literal -offset indent -int range = IPV6_PORTRANGE_LOW; /* see <netinet/in.h> */ -setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_PORTRANGE, &range, sizeof(range)); -.Ed -.\" -.Ss Advanced IPv6 sockets API -The advanced IPv6 sockets API lets userland programs specify or obtain -details about the IPv6 header and the IPv6 extension headers on packets. -The advanced API uses ancillary data for passing data from/to the kernel. -.Pp -There are -.Xr setsockopt 2 / Ns Xr getsockopt 2 -options to get optional information on incoming packets. -They are -.Dv IPV6_PKTINFO , -.Dv IPV6_HOPLIMIT , -.Dv IPV6_HOPOPTS , -.Dv IPV6_DSTOPTS , -and -.Dv IPV6_RTHDR . -.Bd -literal -offset indent -int on = 1; - -setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_PKTINFO, &on, sizeof(on)); -setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_HOPLIMIT, &on, sizeof(on)); -setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_HOPOPTS, &on, sizeof(on)); -setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_DSTOPTS, &on, sizeof(on)); -setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_RTHDR, &on, sizeof(on)); -.Ed -.Pp -When any of these options are enabled, the corresponding data is -returned as control information by -.Xr recvmsg 2 , -as one or more ancillary data objects. -.Pp -If -.Dv IPV6_PKTINFO -is enabled, the destination IPv6 address and the arriving interface index -will be available via -.Li struct in6_pktinfo -on ancillary data stream. -You can pick the structure by checking for an ancillary data item with -.Li cmsg_level -equal to -.Dv IPPROTO_IPV6 , -and -.Li cmsg_type -equal to -.Dv IPV6_PKTINFO . -.Pp -If -.Dv IPV6_HOPLIMIT -is enabled, the hoplimit value on the packet will be made available to the -userland program. -The ancillary data stream will contain an integer data item with -.Li cmsg_level -equal to -.Dv IPPROTO_IPV6 , -and -.Li cmsg_type -equal to -.Dv IPV6_HOPLIMIT . -.Pp -.Xr inet6_option_space 3 -and friends help parse ancillary data items for -.Dv IPV6_HOPOPTS -and -.Dv IPV6_DSTOPTS . -Similarly, -.Xr inet6_rthdr_space 3 -and friends help parse ancillary data items for -.Dv IPV6_RTHDR . -.Pp -.Dv IPV6_HOPOPTS -and -.Dv IPV6_DSTOPTS -may appear multiple times on an ancillary data stream -(note that the behavior is slightly different than the specification). -Other ancillary data items can appear no more than once. -.Pp -For outgoing direction, -ancillary data items with normal payload data can be passed using -.Xr sendmsg 2 . -Ancillary data items will be parsed by the kernel, and used to construct -the IPv6 header and extension headers. -For the 5 -.Li cmsg_level -values listed above, the ancillary data format is the same as the inbound case. -Additionally, the -.Dv IPV6_NEXTHOP -data object can also be specified. -The -.Dv IPV6_NEXTHOP -ancillary data object specifies the next hop for the -datagram as a socket address structure. -In the -.Li cmsghdr -structure -containing this ancillary data, the -.Li cmsg_level -member will be -.Dv IPPROTO_IPV6 , -the -.Li cmsg_type -member will be -.Dv IPV6_NEXTHOP , -and the first byte of -.Li cmsg_data[] -will be the first byte of the socket address structure. -.Pp -If the socket address structure contains an IPv6 address (i.e., the -sin6_family member is -.Dv AF_INET6 -), then the node identified by that -address must be a neighbor of the sending host. -If that address -equals the destination IPv6 address of the datagram, then this is -equivalent to the existing -.Dv SO_DONTROUTE -socket option. -.Pp -For applications that do not, or are unable to use -.Xr sendmsg 2 -or -.Xr recvmsg 2 , -the -.Dv IPV6_PKTOPTIONS -socket option is defined. -Setting the socket option specifies any of the optional output fields: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_PKTOPTIONS, &buf, len); -.Ed -.Pp -The fourth argument points to a buffer containing one or more -ancillary data objects, and the fifth argument is the total length of -all these objects. -The application fills in this buffer exactly as -if the buffer were being passed to -.Xr sendmsg 2 -as control information. -.Pp -The options set by calling -.Xr setsockopt 2 -for -.Dv IPV6_PKTOPTIONS -are -called "sticky" options because once set they apply to all packets -sent on that socket. -The application can call -.Xr setsockopt 2 -again to -change all the sticky options, or it can call -.Xr setsockopt 2 -with a -length of 0 to remove all the sticky options for the socket. -.Pp -The corresponding receive option -.Bd -literal -offset indent -getsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_PKTOPTIONS, &buf, &len); -.Ed -.Pp -returns a buffer with one or more ancillary data objects for all the -optional receive information that the application has previously -specified that it wants to receive. -The fourth argument points to -the buffer that is filled in by the call. -The fifth argument is a -pointer to a value-result integer: when the function is called the -integer specifies the size of the buffer pointed to by the fourth -argument, and on return this integer contains the actual number of -bytes that were returned. -The application processes this buffer -exactly as if the buffer were returned by -.Xr recvmsg 2 -as control information. -.\" -.Ss Advanced API and TCP sockets -When using -.Xr getsockopt 2 -with the -.Dv IPV6_PKTOPTIONS -option and a -.Tn TCP -socket, only the options from the most recently received segment are -retained and returned to the caller, and only after the socket option -has been set. -.\" That is, -.\" .Tn TCP -.\" need not start saving a copy of the options until the application says -.\" to do so. -The application is not allowed to specify ancillary data in a call to -.Xr sendmsg 2 -on a -.Tn TCP -socket, and none of the ancillary data that we -described above is ever returned as control information by -.Xr recvmsg 2 -on a -.Tn TCP -socket. -.\" -.Ss Conflict resolution -In some cases, there are multiple APIs defined for manipulating -a IPv6 header field. -A good example is the outgoing interface for multicast datagrams: -it can be manipulated by -.Dv IPV6_MULTICAST_IF -in basic API, -.Dv IPV6_PKTINFO -in advanced API, and the -.Li sin6_scope_id -field of the socket address passed to -.Xr sendto 2 . -.Pp -When conflicting options are given to the kernel, -the kernel will get the value in the following order of preference: -(1) options specified by using ancillary data, -(2) options specified by a sticky option of the advanced API, -(3) options specified by using the basic API, and lastly -(4) options specified by a socket address. -Note that the conflict resolution is undefined in the API specification -and implementation dependent. -.\" -.Ss "Raw IPv6 Sockets" -Raw -.Tn IPv6 -sockets are connectionless, and are normally used with the -.Xr sendto 2 -and -.Xr recvfrom 2 -calls, though the -.Xr connect 2 -call may also be used to fix the destination for future -packets (in which case the -.Xr read 2 -or -.Xr recv 2 -and -.Xr write 2 -or -.Xr send 2 -system calls may be used). -.Pp -If -.Fa proto -is 0, the default protocol -.Dv IPPROTO_RAW -is used for outgoing packets, and only incoming packets destined -for that protocol are received. -If -.Fa proto -is non-zero, that protocol number will be used on outgoing packets -and to filter incoming packets. -.Pp -Outgoing packets automatically have an -.Tn IPv6 -header prepended to them (based on the destination address and the -protocol number the socket is created with). -Incoming packets are received without an -.Tn IPv6 -header or extension headers. -.Pp -All data sent via raw sockets MUST be in network byte order and all -data received via raw sockets will be in network byte order. -This differs from the IPv4 raw sockets, which did not specify a byte -ordering and typically used the host's byte order. -.Pp -Another difference from IPv4 raw sockets is that complete packets -(that is, IPv6 packets with extension headers) cannot be read or -written using the IPv6 raw sockets API. -Instead, ancillary data -objects are used to transfer the extension headers, as described above. -Should an application need access to the -complete IPv6 packet, some other technique, such as the datalink -interfaces, such as -.Xr bpf 4 , -must be used. -.Pp -All fields in the IPv6 header that an application might want to -change (i.e., everything other than the version number) can be -modified using ancillary data and/or socket options by the -application for output. -All fields in a received IPv6 header (other -than the version number and Next Header fields) and all extension -headers are also made available to the application as ancillary data -on input. -Hence there is no need for a socket option similar to the -IPv4 -.Dv IP_HDRINCL -socket option. -.Pp -When writing to a raw socket the kernel will automatically fragment -the packet if its size exceeds the path MTU, inserting the required -fragmentation headers. -On input the kernel reassembles received fragments, so the reader -of a raw socket never sees any fragment headers. -.Pp -Most IPv4 implementations give special treatment to a raw socket -created with a third argument to -.Xr socket 2 -of -.Dv IPPROTO_RAW , -whose value is normally 255. -We note that this value has no special meaning to -an IPv6 raw socket (and the IANA currently reserves the value of 255 -when used as a next-header field). -.\" Note: This feature was added to -.\" IPv4 in 1988 by Van Jacobson to support traceroute, allowing a -.\" complete IP header to be passed by the application, before the -.\" .Dv IP_HDRINCL -.\" socket option was added. -.Pp -For ICMPv6 raw sockets, -the kernel will calculate and insert the ICMPv6 checksum -since this checksum is mandatory. -.Pp -For other raw IPv6 sockets (that is, for raw IPv6 sockets created -with a third argument other than IPPROTO_ICMPV6), the application -must set the new IPV6_CHECKSUM socket option to have the kernel (1) -compute and store a pseudo-header checksum for output, -and (2) verify the received -pseudo-header checksum on input, -discarding the packet if the checksum is in error. -This option prevents applications from having to perform source -address selection on the packets they send. -The checksum will -incorporate the IPv6 pseudo-header, defined in Section 8.1 of RFC 2460. -This new socket option also specifies an integer offset into -the user data of where the checksum is located. -.Bd -literal -offset indent -int offset = 2; -setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_CHECKSUM, &offset, sizeof(offset)); -.Ed -.Pp -By default, this socket option is disabled. -Setting the offset to -1 also disables the option. -By disabled we mean (1) the kernel will -not calculate and store a checksum for outgoing packets, and (2) the -kernel will not verify a checksum for received packets. -.Pp -Note: Since the checksum is always calculated by the kernel for an -ICMPv6 socket, applications are not able to generate ICMPv6 packets -with incorrect checksums (presumably for testing purposes) using this -API. -.\" -.Sh DIAGNOSTICS -A socket operation may fail with one of the following errors returned: -.Bl -tag -width
