@fantastic2085,

All variables that may be needed by the application are already exposed to the application via functions declared in mtcp_api.h file (e.g. mtcp_getsockopt()). Is there any variable that you have in mind that currently is not exposed to the user? We try to emulate the same interface as BSD socket API exports. And we don't want to overly expose the internal data structures to the user.
