.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBsctp_peeloff()\fR function branches off an existing association from a
one-to-many style SCTP socket into a separate socket file descriptor. The
resulting branched-off socket is a one-to-one style SCTP socket and is confined
to operations allowed on a one-to-one style SCTP socket.
.sp
.LP
The \fIsock\fR argument is a one-to-many socket. The association specified by
the \fIid\fR argument is branched off \fIsock\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.LP
Upon successful completion, the \fBsctp_peeloff()\fR function returns the file
descriptor that references the branched-off socket. The function returns
\fB-1\fR if an error occurs.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fBsctp_peeloff()\fR function fails under the following conditions.
