NAME
       IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP - leave a multicast group

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <netinet/in.h>  /* Definition of IP* constants */
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       int setsockopt(int sockfd, IPPROTO_IP, IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP,
                      const struct ip_mreqn *val, sizeof(struct ip_mreqn));

DESCRIPTION
       Leave a multicast group.

ERRORS
       See IPPROTO_IP(2const).  See setsockopt(2).  See ip(7).

HISTORY
       Linux 1.2.

       For compatibility, the old ip_mreq structure is still supported.  The
       kernel determines which structure is being passed based on the size
       passed in the last argument.
