Hello

" The types SOCK_RAW, which is available only to the superuser, and SOCK_RDM,
which is planned, but not yet implemented, are not described here."
(man socket)

Where is SOCK_RAW described, then? Why is not at least a pointer to the
description included in the manpage?

I would like to port a program for testing free space optics devices from
Linux to OpenBSD. It sends raw Ethernet frames, one filled with all 0's
and another filled with 01 pattern. It's important to fill as large part
of the packet with these patterns as possible because it's for benchmarking
the amplifiers.

Should I investigate SOCK_RAW or is there a different mechanism under OpenBSD
how to send a raw Ethernet frame? Or is it not implemented at all?
