/* NAME
/*	inet_windowsize 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	TCP window scaling control
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <iostuff.h>
/*
/*	int	inet_windowsize;
/*
/*	void	set_inet_windowsize(sock, windowsize)
/*	int	sock;
/*	int	windowsize;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	set_inet_windowsize() overrides the default TCP window size
/*	with the specified value. When called before listen() or
/*	accept(), this works around broken infrastructure that
/*	mis-handles TCP window scaling options.
/*
/*	The global inet_windowsize variable is available for other
/*	routines to remember that they wish to override the default
/*	TCP window size. The variable is not accessed by the
/*	set_inet_windowsize() function itself.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP sock
/*	TCP communication endpoint, before the connect(2) or listen(2) call.
/* .IP windowsize
/*	The preferred TCP window size. This must be > 0.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Panic: interface violation.
/*	Warnings: some error return from setsockopt().
/* LICENSE
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
