== DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT: These functions are deprecated. Please see xref:nng_socket_set.3.adoc[nng_socket_set].
They may not be present if the library was built with `NNG_ELIDE_DEPRECATED`.
(((options, socket)))
The `nng_setopt()` functions are used to configure options for
the socket _s_.
The actual options that may be configured in this way vary, and are
specified by _opt_.
A number of them are documented in xref:nng_options.5.adoc[nng_options(5)].
Additionally some transport-specific and protocol-specific options are
documented with the transports and protocols themselves.
=== Forms
The details of the type, size, and semantics of the option will depend
on the actual option, and will be documented with the option itself.
`nng_setopt()`::
This function is untyped, and can be used to configure any arbitrary data.
The _val_ pointer addresses the data to copy, and _valsz_ is the
size of the objected located at _val_.
TIP: It may be easier to use one of the typed forms of this function.
`nng_setopt_bool()`::
This function is for options which take a Boolean (`bool`).
The _bval_ is passed to the option.
`nng_setopt_int()`::
This function is for options which take an integer (`int`).
The _ival_ is passed to the option.
`nng_setopt_ms()`::
This function is used to configure time durations (such as timeouts) using
type xref:nng_duration.5.adoc[`nng_duration`].
The duration _dur_ is an integer number of milliseconds.
`nng_setopt_ptr()`::
This function is used to pass a pointer, _ptr_, to structured data.
The data referenced by _ptr_ is generally managed by other functions.
For example, TLS configuration objects created with
(xref:nng_tls_config_alloc.3tls.adoc[`nng_tls_config_alloc()`])
can be passed this way.
NOTE: This form is somewhat special in that the object is generally
not copied, but instead the *pointer* to the object is copied.
`nng_setopt_size()`::
This function is used to configure a size, _z_, typically for buffer sizes,
message maximum sizes, and similar options.
`nng_setopt_string()`::
This function is used to pass configure a string, _str_.
Strings passed this way must be legal UTF-8 or ASCII strings, terminated
with a `NUL` (`\0`) byte.
(Other constraints may apply as well, see the documentation for each option
for details.)
`nng_setopt_uint64()`::
This function is used to configure a 64-bit unsigned value, _u64_.
This is typically used for options related to identifiers, network numbers,
and similar.
== RETURN VALUES
These functions return 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
== ERRORS
[horizontal]
`NNG_ECLOSED`:: Parameter _s_ does not refer to an open socket.
`NNG_EINVAL`:: The value being passed is invalid.
`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: The option _opt_ is not supported.
`NNG_EREADONLY`:: The option _opt_ is read-only.
`NNG_ESTATE`:: The socket is in an inappropriate state for setting this option.
