The commit c64216addd7f for issue #6560 added various socket option, but some of them are not well documented or tested. Authentication: * SO_PASSCRED, SO_PEERCRED, LOCAL_PEERCRED * SCM_RIGHTS, SCM_CREDENTIALS, SCM_CREDS SCTP: * socket.IPPROTO_SCTP is not mentioned in socket.socket() doc (but it's tested) etc.
I created this issue for myself (as a reminder), but sorry I'm not really motivated to work on the documentation, nor test. Document socket options is not trivial because the exact definition depends on the platform. I close the issue.
