TCP retransmission : how to detect from an application ?

I've an application that is establishing TCP connection, and exchanges some data.
However, from time to time, I suspect there are some packet loss, which are corrected by the kernel (hell, TCP is reliable, isn't it :-), but I'd like to know if an application can detect this (well, I don't want to be notified of a packet loss once detected, but I'd like to get some stats before closing
the connection).Is there something possible ? Some ioctl ? Some
/proc/magic-interface?

RTFM. man tcp ->
TCP_INFO
Thanks... It seems that my man pages are quite outdated, but I've found the information I was missing.
Regards,
