getsctp

Name

getsctp – checks for SCTP support in the kernel

Synopsis

getsctp

Description

getsctp checks for enabled or loadable SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) support in the kernel. Also getsctp tries to load the SCTP kernel module.

getsctp writes the report to stdout. A message like "SCTP enabled" is written if SCTP support is enabled. No message means no SCTP support in the kernel or SCTP support was not found.

Restrictions

Loading kernel modules may be disabled for the current user. Frequently only root can load kernel modules.

The command uses the tool "checksctp" to check the SCTP status. If the tool is not installed or not in the path of the current user then the command can not find the SCTP support.

Example

Run the function. There are no command line arguments.

$ getsctp
