   Yes, it's optional. It is an illustration on how to detect whether 
the tproxy version in the kernel is compatible with this version of the 
interface. The user-space software requests interface version 2.0.0 
(0x20000000) from the kernel, and the setsockopt fails if the tproxy 
implementation does not support this interface. Note that in spite of 
using setsockopt(), this operation does not set anything, it just barely 
returns if a compatible interface is supported. The same operation with 
getsockopt() simply returns the interface version number.
