+ 4.1.5 RAW socket returned message flags
+
+ When using recvmsg() call, the msg->msg_flags may contain following flags:
+
+ MSG_DONTROUTE: set when the received frame was created on the local host.
+
+ MSG_CONFIRM: set when the frame was sent via the socket it is received on.
+ This flag can be interpreted as a 'transmission confirmation' when the
+ CAN driver supports the echo of frames on driver level, see 3.2 and 6.2.
+ In order to receive such messages, CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS must be set.
