NAME

       socket_mchopcount6 - set multicast hop count

SYNTAX

       #include <socket.h>

       int socket_mchopcount6(int s,char TTL);

DESCRIPTION

       socket_mchopcount6  sets the maximum hop count of outgoing multicast packets on the socket
       s.  Each router decrements the packet hop count by one  and  discards  the  packet  if  it
       reaches  zero.   Setting  the  maximum  hop count to 1, for example, will limit the packet
       propagation to the LAN.

       If something goes wrong, socket_mchopcount6 returns -1, setting errno appropriately.
