Class TSoInetLastErr

class TSoInetLastErr;

Description

Error information for TCP/IP protocols.

An object of this class is returned packaged as a TPckgBuf<TSoInetLastErr> in the option argument of RSocket::GetOpt(), when this function is called with (KSolInetIp, KSoInetLastError). The data members of this object are updated whenever a packet carrying an ICMP message is received.

Note: This class is originally defined only for the IPv4 environment, and there is no definite way of knowing whether the fields iErrType and iErrCode contain ICMPv4 or ICMPv6 codes. A solution that will give the correct answer in most normal cases, is

    TSoInetLastErr p;
    ...
    if (p.iErrAddr.Family() == KAfInet || p.iErrAddr.IsV4Mapped())
        // assume ICMPv4 type and code
    else
        // assume ICMPv6 type and code

Alternatively, the error can be interpreted based on the member variable iStatus, if it contains one of the extended error codes. These are are common for both IPv4 and IPv6.
