Finds a specific option in an extension header. Format #include <in6.h> int inet6_opt_find ( void *extbuf, size_t extlen, int offset, uint8_t type, size_t *lenp, void **databufp );
1 – Arguments
extbuf Points to a buffer that contains an extension header. extlen Specifies the length, in bytes, of the extension header. offset Specifies the location in the extension header of an option. Valid values are either 0 (zero) for the first option or the length returned from a previous call to either inet6_opt_next() or inet6_opt_find(). type Specifies the type of option to find. lenp Points to the length of the option found. databufp Points to the option data.
2 – Description
This function searches a received option extension header for an option specified by type. If it finds the specified option, it returns the option length and a pointer to the option data. It also returns an offset to the next option, which you can specify in the offset argument to subsequent calls to inet6_opt_next() in order to search for additional occurrences of the same option type.
3 – Return Values
x Upon successful completion, the inet6_opt_ find() function returns an offset from which you can begin the next search in the data buffer. -1 Failure
