i am in need of setting some socket options. specifically, i am interested in setting send and receive socket level buffer sizes. these numbers can affect network throughput performance significantly. i am writing some high performance network apps and the lack of socket option API is getting in the way. i could import shared library but i think perhaps newLISP needs these things in the socket API. that allows more portable way of setting options (winsock and BSD style )

any thoughts?

you can easily import setsockopt() from libc, on OS X:
all parameters except for optionPtr are streight forward integers. The option value is passed as a ptr. So you would do:
and then pass optionPtr as the parameter and option length would be 4.
