If you look, <netinet/tcp.h> defines these state values, as an enumeration. If you need the TCPF_* flag bit versions, sorry... you'll need to find some other way to get those into userspace. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
