Hello Alejandro! I think there is a mistake on the manpage for recv. In the description of the flag MSG_ERRQUEUE it says that data is passed via "msg_iovec". This is probably referring to msg_iov in struct msghdr (from /usr/include/bits/socket.h). A "msg_iovec" doesn't seem to exist. Maybe it was spelled wrong because it's of type struct iovec. If it is indeed wrong then the following patch corrects it: Signed-off-by: Rob Linden <redacted> From 830a1b1233eb69bd8a4a64296581d094fb0edc46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rokkbert <redacted> Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2023 10:00:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] recv.2: field msg_iov in struct msghdr is wrongly called msg_iovec.
