Invokes tt(setsockopt()) for the socket with the given parameters. tt(level)
[link(int)(TYPE_INT)] specifies the second argument to tt(setsockopt())
which specifies the layer, e.g. SOL_TCP (=6 on Linux) for TCP, or SOL_SOCKET
(=1 on Linux) for the socket layer. tt(optname) [link(int)(TYPE_INT)]
selects the third argument to tt(setsockopt()) option. For the actual
integer values you might have to look up the appropriate include file of
your system. The 4th tt(setsockopt()) parameter, tt(value)
[link(int)(TYPE_INT)], is passed to the function per pointer, and the length
parameter to the tt(setsockopt()) call is derived from this type.
