Synopsis:

#include <netinet/in.h>

int inet6_rthdr_lasthop(struct cmsghdr *cmsg, 
                        unsigned int flags);

Arguments:

cmsg

Description:

This function specifies the Strict/Loose flag for the final hop of a routing header.

Note: A routing header specifying N intermediate nodes requires N+1 Strict/Loose flags. This requires N calls to inet6_rthdr_add() followed by one call to inet6_rthdr_lasthop().
