dropSourceSpecificMembership

method Socket.prototype.dropSourceSpecificMembership
Jump to headingSocket.prototype.dropSourceSpecificMembership(
sourceAddress: string,
groupAddress: string,
multicastInterface?: string,
): void

Instructs the kernel to leave a source-specific multicast channel at the given sourceAddress and groupAddress using the IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP socket option. This method is automatically called by the kernel when the socket is closed or the process terminates, so most apps will never have reason to call this.

If multicastInterface is not specified, the operating system will attempt to drop membership on all valid interfaces.

Parameters Jump to heading

Jump to headingsourceAddress: string
Jump to headinggroupAddress: string
