i think something like the former is much more portable. what happens when linux or netbsd adopts a different interface, or different options to sockopts?

sockpeek is explicit, and so is easy to create a wrapper for.

i ran into a similar problem w/ getpeereid() in postgresql. they supported all the wacky socktopts variants of linux, hp/ux, etc. the one thing that they didn't support was getpeereid(). if they had done things the other way around, and started w/ getpeereid() and then created wrappers a significant chunk of heavily #ifdef'd code could have been eliminted and the source would have been easier to read.
