IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP(2const)       IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP(2const)

NAME         top

       IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP - leave a source-specific multicast
       group

LIBRARY         top

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <netinet/in.h>  /* Definition of IP* constants */
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       int setsockopt(int sockfd, IPPROTO_IP, IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP,
                      const struct ip_mreq_source *val,
                      sizeof(struct ip_mreq_source));

DESCRIPTION         top

       Leave a source-specific group; that is, stop receiving data from a
       given multicast group that comes from a given source.

       If the application has subscribed to multiple sources within the
       same group, data from the remaining sources will still be
       delivered.  To stop receiving data from all sources at once, use
       IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP(2const).

ERRORS         top

       See IPPROTO_IP(2const).  See setsockopt(2).  See ip(7).

HISTORY         top

       Linux 2.4.22, Linux 2.5.68.

SEE ALSO         top
