DICOMSOCKETOPTIONS

typedef struct tagDICOMSOCKETOPTIONS 
{ 
   L_UINT uStructSize; 
   L_INT  nSendBufferSize; 
   L_INT  nReceiveBufferSize; 
   L_BOOL bNoDelay; 
   L_UINT uReserved1; 
   L_UINT uReserved2; 
} DICOMSOCKETOPTIONS,   *pDICOMSOCKETOPTIONS;

The DICOMSOCKETOPTIONS structure provides information for getting and setting the socket options used in the DICOM communications.

Member	Description
uStructSize	The size of the structure (use sizeof(DICOMSOCKETOPTIONS) ).
nSendBufferSize	Value that specifies the total per-socket buffer space reserved for sends.
nReceiveBufferSize	Value that specifies the total per-socket buffer space reserved for receives.
bNoDelay	Disables the Nagle algorithm for send coalescing. This socket option is included for backward compatibility with Windows Sockets 1.1
uReserved1	Reserved for future use. Pass 0.
uReserved2	Reserved for future use. Pass 0.

Comments

It is used for customizing the socket behavior used internally with the DICOM communications methods. For more information, see Microsoft Winsock documentation.
