Parses received option extension headers.
Format
#include <in6.h>
int inet6_opt_next ( void *extbuf, size_t extlen, int

1 – Arguments
extbuf
Points to a buffer that contains an extension header.
extlen
Specifies the length, in bytes, of the extension header.
offset
Specifies the location in the extension header of an option.

inet6_opt_find().
typep
Points to the type of the option found.
lenp
Points to the length of the option found.
databufp
Points to the option data.
2 – Description
This function parses a received option extension header and
returns the next option. In addition, it returns an offset to
the next option that you specify in the offset parameter to
subsequent calls to inet6_opt_next().
