Seeing TCP socket options (nodelay, cork, etc) in Linux procfs or elsewhere?

Hi kernel folks,

I was wondering if there was a standard location to see TCP socket
options (eg, nodelay, cork, etc), perhaps via procfs or some other
means? I'd like to check whether arbitrary apps (for which I don't have
code) are using particular TCP options.

Wandering round /proc/net hasn't turned up anything yet, and after a
quick:
socket.setsockopt(0, 1, 1)
to enable NODELAY I can't see any obvious difference in procfs or
netstat output (where other Unixes seem to put this info). hat's the
best way to see TCP options on sockets created by others' code?

Thanks,

Mike
