It was not made clear in several socket options that they were not
supported by SOCK_STREAM; this patch fixes that.
Socket options not supported by SOCK_STREAM are handled in the
ip_cmsg_recv_offset function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c. The function is
called for udp sockets, and indirectly by ping and raw sockets, but not
for TCP sockets, as they don't support these options.

Hi Alex,
I have attached two programs in the form of C source code below. No
special compilation options required. To change between the three
different socket options outlined in my patch, there are two options on
line 16 and 18 with a comment above them explaining how to use the
fields.
Here's how to use the programs:
0. Make sure you have netcat installed.
1. Compile the dgram one.
2. Run it.
3. Run nc localhost 8888 -u (in a seperate terminal window or tab)
4. Type whatever into netcat and press enter
5. Observe that there is a control message recieved, and there is a byte
printed, which is the first byte of the data in the control message.
6. You may repeat this for the three different socket options.
7. Repeat for the stream one, but use nc localhost 8888 (without the -u)
for #5.
8. Observe that there are no control messages recieved with the stream one,
and byte is 00, which is the initial value of the variable, before it has
a value assigned when the control messages (of which there are none) are read.
Thanks,
Oliver

You could use BUFSIZ, which is in <stdio.h>. It also removes magic
numbers like 1500 (why not 1000?).

Unused variables 'i' and 'slen' (in both programs).

Unused variable 'buf' (in both programs).

This is more readable (and safer) in two lines:
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
if (s == -1)

You could use
err(1, "socket");
which is in <err.h>.

The use of spaces is quite inconsistent.

!= 0 is inconsistent with other == -1 checks.
Also placement of braces.
