DOCERR: Setting of SO_DEBUG Option Is Ignored by Winsock Apps

• Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) versions 3.1, 3.11
• Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), versions 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

SUMMARY

The Windows Sockets specification (Winsock) version 1.1 provides for an application to set the SO_DEBUG option by calling the setsockopt() API.

Although a call to set this option succeeds (doesn't return SOCKET_ERROR), the setting is ignored by all Microsoft Windows Sockets implementations. This includes the Winsock implementations for:

• Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (MS TCP/IP-32)



• Windows NT 3.1, 3.5, 3.51



• Windows 95



• LAN Manager 2.2c
