       The <parameter>level</parameter> parameter specifies the protocol
       level at which the option resides. For example, to retrieve options at
       the socket level, a <parameter>level</parameter> parameter of
       <constant>SOL_SOCKET</constant> would be used. Other levels, such as
       <constant>TCP</constant>, can be used by
       specifying the protocol number of that level. Protocol numbers can be
       found by using the <function>getprotobyname</function> function.
