<p>The <strong>netdir_options()</strong> function provides interfaces to
transport-specific capabilities such as the broadcast address and reserved port
facilities of TCP and UDP.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>nconf</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>A pointer to a netconfig structure that specifies a transport.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>option</strong> &nbsp;(Input)&nbsp;</dt>
<dd>Specifies the transport-specific action to take. The following values may
be used for <em>option</em>:<br>
<br>
<table cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="30 70" -->
<tr>
<td valign="top"><em>ND_SET_BROADCAST</em></td>
<td valign="top">Set the transport for broadcast if supported.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><em>ND_SET_RESERVEDPORT</em></td>
<td valign="top">Let the application bind to a reserved port if allowed by the
transport.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><em>ND_CHECK_RESERVEDPORT</em></td>
<td valign="top">Verify that an address corresponds to a reserved port if the
transport supports reserved ports.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><em>ND_MERGEADDR</em></td>
<td valign="top">Transform a locally meaningful address into an address that
the client host can connect to.</td>
</tr>
</table><br></dd>
<dt><strong>fd (Input)</strong></dt>
<dd>The file descriptor that may or may not be used based on the
option. The only value supported for this field is <strong>RPC_ANYFD</strong>.
The file descriptor value is used only if the specified option is
ND_SET_BROADCAST or ND_SET_RESERVEDPORT.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong>point_to_args (Input)</strong></dt>
<dd>A pointer to the operation-specific data.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>The caller must have the *IOSYSCFG special authority to bind to a reserved
port.</p>

<h3>Example</h3>
<p>See <a href="../apiref/aboutapis.htm#codedisclaimer">Code disclaimer information</a>
for information pertaining to code examples.</p>
<p>The following example shows how <strong>netdir_options()</strong> is
used:</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;netdir.h&gt;
#include &lt;rpc/rpc_com.h&gt; /* for RPC_ANYFD definition */
main()
{
void *handlep;
struct netconfig *nconf;
/* Initialize the network selection mechanism */
if (handlep = setnetconfig()) == (void *)NULL)
{
exit(1);
}
/* Get a netconfig structure from the netconfig file */
if ((nconf = getnetconfig(handlep)) == (struct netconf *)NULL)
{
printf(&quot;Unable to obtain a netconfig structure\n&quot;);
}
/* Set the protocol specific negotiation for broadcast */
if (netdir_options(nconf, ND_SET_BROADCAST, RPC_ANYFD, NULL))
{
printf(&quot;Error setting the broadcasting option\n&quot;);
}
/* Release the netconfig handle allocated by setnetconfig() */
endnetconfig(handlep);
}
