<li><a name="getsockopt-SOCKET%2cLEVEL%2cOPTNAME"></a><b>getsockopt SOCKET,LEVEL,OPTNAME</b>
<p></p>
<p>Queries the option named OPTNAME associated with SOCKET at a given LEVEL.
Options may exist at multiple protocol levels depending on the socket
type, but at least the uppermost socket level SOL_SOCKET (defined in the
<code class="inline"><span class="w">Socket</span></code>
module) will exist. To query options at another level the
protocol number of the appropriate protocol controlling the option
should be supplied. For example, to indicate that an option is to be
interpreted by the TCP protocol, LEVEL should be set to the protocol
number of TCP, which you can get using getprotobyname.</p>
<p>The call returns a packed string representing the requested socket option,
or <code class="inline"><a class="l_k" href="../functions/undef.html">undef</a></code> if there is an error (the error reason will be in $!). What
exactly is in the packed string depends in the LEVEL and OPTNAME, consult
your system documentation for details. A very common case however is that
the option is an integer, in which case the result will be a packed
integer which you can decode using unpack with the <code class="inline"><span class="w">i</span></code>
(or <code class="inline"><span class="w">I</span></code>
) format.</p>
