Spines

NAME
       spines_ioctl - Manipulates Spines router 


SYNOPSIS
       #include "spines_lib.h"

       int  spines_ioctl(int s, int  level,  int  optname,  
               const  void  *optval, socklen_t optlen);


DESCRIPTION

       The spines_ioctl call allows applications to manipulate internal
       parameters of the Spines overlay router.  Currently, ioctl
       can be used to dynamically add Spines neighbors. For example,
       an application can decide when and who should the Spines router
       connect to.

       The parameter s refers to the socket connected to Spines, and has
       to be of type SOCK_DGRAM. The rest of the parameters will depend
       on optname:

       SPINES_ADD_NEIGHBOR
           optval and optlen should refer to a sockaddr type address
           that holds the IP address of the Spines neighbor that the
           node should connect to.


RETURN VALUE
       On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned.
