>Description:
setsockopt() sets undocumented errno in some cases.

According to ERRORS section the man page of setsockopt(2), it can be read that the possible errno are: EBADF/EFAULT/EINVAL/ENOPROTOOPT/ENOTSOCK.
However, if the connection has been reset when calling setsockopt() with SOL_SOCKET level or IPPROTO_TCP level, errno is set to ECONNRESET.

It would be better to either:
  (1) update the man page
    or
  (2) change the kernel behavior to the same as the man page (Note: FreeBSD/OpenBSD/Linux doesn't set such errno)
