NAME¶

IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP - leave a multicast group

LIBRARY¶

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <netinet/in.h>  /* Definition of IP* constants */
#include <sys/socket.h>

int setsockopt(int sockfd, IPPROTO_IP, IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP,
               const struct ip_mreqn *val, sizeof(struct ip_mreqn));

DESCRIPTION¶

Leave a multicast group.

ERRORS¶

See IPPROTO_IP(2const). See setsockopt(2). See ip(7).

HISTORY¶

Linux 1.2.

For compatibility, the old ip_mreq structure is still supported. The kernel determines which structure is being passed based on the size passed in the last argument.
