How can I set the socket buffer size for a UNIX socket file descriptor in C? I understand setsockopt is probably the system call involved... Can anyone give an example of how to use it, the one's I have found do not explain how to set the buffer size?

1You found examples of how to set the socket buffer size that don't explain how to set the socket buffer size? – user207421 Sep 25 '14 at 22:27

@EJP - yeah, exactly. It's one call, [Clarkson], how hard can it be? – Martin James Sep 25 '14 at 23:21

On Ubuntu 14.04 Linux check out man 7 socket, and specifically look at SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF.
