This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com You can use the getsockopt in a similar way to ioctl. For kernel control sockets, the contents of the buffer passed to the socket option is copied in to the kernel's address space before the option is passed off to the registered kernel control. In this way, you may use the getsockopt as read/write. This behavior is new as of 10.4.2. This change was made at the request of a third party. Actually they're not quite equivalent. ioctl allows the data area to be read/write, but socket options are one or the other, not both. Hi all, this is a question for which I think I have the answer but I'm posing it just to make sure I haven't overlooked anything. It seems to me that kern_control sockets do not support user- defined ioctls, just CTLIOCGCOUNT and CTLIOCGINFO. Is this correct?
