Note that there is no general *guarantee* that a syscall cannot return any values other than the ones in the manpage. > If you look at e.g. udp_lib_setsockopt() you'll see that it conforms > strictly to this. I don't know why do_tcp_setsockopt() doesn't. Probably because those are the only errors that the UDP version can hit, but the TCP case can hit cases like "socket must be in a connected state" and possibly other error codes. Now, I admit wondering why it uses ENOTSUPP rather than ENOTCONN for this particular case.
