+
+----
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+(((options, socket)))
+The `nng_socket_set()` functions are used to configure options for
+the socket _s_.
+The actual options that may be configured in this way vary, and are
+specified by _opt_.
+A number of them are documented in <<nng_options.5#,nng_options(5)>>.
+
+Additionally some transport-specific and protocol-specific options are
+documented with the transports and protocols themselves.
+
+=== Forms
+
+The details of the type, size, and semantics of the option will depend
+on the actual option, and will be documented with the option itself.
+
+`nng_socket_set()`::
+This function is untyped, and can be used to configure any arbitrary data.
+The _val_ pointer addresses the data to copy, and _valsz_ is the
+size of the objected located at _val_.
+
+TIP: It may be easier to use one of the typed forms of this function.
+
+`nng_socket_set_bool()`::
+This function is for options which take a Boolean (`bool`).
+The _bval_ is passed to the option.
+
+`nng_socket_set_int()`::
+This function is for options which take an integer (`int`).
+The _ival_ is passed to the option.
+
+`nng_socket_set_ms()`::
+This function is used to configure time durations (such as timeouts) using
+type `<<nng_duration.5#,nng_duration>>`.
+The duration _dur_ is an integer number of milliseconds.
+
+`nng_socket_set_ptr()`::
+This function is used to pass a pointer, _ptr_, to structured data.
+The data referenced by _ptr_ is generally managed by other functions.
+For example, TLS configuration objects created with
+(`<<nng_tls_config_alloc.3tls#,nng_tls_config_alloc()>>`)
+can be passed this way.
+
+NOTE: This form is somewhat special in that the object is generally
+not copied, but instead the *pointer* to the object is copied.
+
+`nng_socket_set_size()`::
+This function is used to configure a size, _z_, typically for buffer sizes,
+message maximum sizes, and similar options.
+
+`nng_socket_set_string()`::
+This function is used to pass configure a string, _str_.
+Strings passed this way must be legal UTF-8 or ASCII strings, terminated
+with a `NUL` (`\0`) byte.
+(Other constraints may apply as well, see the documentation for each option
+for details.)
+
+`nng_socket_set_uint64()`::
+This function is used to configure a 64-bit unsigned value, _u64_.
+This is typically used for options related to identifiers, network numbers,
+and similar.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+These functions return 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+[horizontal]
+`NNG_ECLOSED`:: Parameter _s_ does not refer to an open socket.
+`NNG_EINVAL`:: The value being passed is invalid.
+`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: The option _opt_ is not supported.
+`NNG_EREADONLY`:: The option _opt_ is read-only.
+`NNG_ESTATE`:: The socket is in an inappropriate state for setting this option.
