.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm icmp
|
|
.Nd Internet Control Message Protocol
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/socket.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <netinet/in.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn socket AF_INET SOCK_RAW proto
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Tn ICMP
|
|
is the error and control message protocol used
|
|
by
|
|
.Tn IP
|
|
and the Internet protocol family. It may be accessed
|
|
through a
|
|
.Dq raw socket
|
|
for network monitoring
|
|
and diagnostic functions.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa proto
|
|
parameter to the socket call to create an
|
|
.Tn ICMP
|
|
socket
|
|
is obtained from
|
|
.Xr getprotobyname 3 .
|
|
.Tn ICMP
|
|
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
|
|
Outgoing packets automatically have an
|
|
.Tn IP
|
|
header prepended to
|
|
them (based on the destination address).
|
|
Incoming packets are received with the
|
|
.Tn IP
|
|
header and options intact.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
A socket operation may fail with one of the following errors returned:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width [EADDRNOTAVAIL]
|
|
.It Bq Er EISCONN
|
|
when trying to establish a connection on a socket which
|
|
already has one, or when trying to send a datagram with the destination
|
|
address specified and the socket is already connected;
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTCONN
|
|
when trying to send a datagram, but
|
|
no destination address is specified, and the socket hasn't been
|
|
connected;
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
|
|
when the system runs out of memory for
|
|
an internal data structure;
|
|
.It Bq Er EADDRNOTAVAIL
|
|
when an attempt is made to create a
|
|
socket with a network address for which no network interface
|
|
exists.
