if (setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ZEROCOPY, &one, sizeof(one)))
error(1, errno, "setsockopt zerocopy");
+Setting the socket option only works when the socket is in its initial
+(TCP_CLOSED) state. Trying to set the option for a socket returned by accept(),
+for example, will lead to an EBUSY error. In this case, the option should be set
+to the listening socket and it will be inherited by the accepted sockets.
