Hi
Please bear with me if this is a stupid question but I'm trying to setup a telnet socket in cygwin and then want to use a Windows wait semaphore (WaitForMultipleObjects) to combine it with a sleep for winpcap HANDLEs. I thought I'd test this first though. Does get_osfhandle() on a AF_INET socket to the right thing? The WaitForSingleObject below never wakes up (despite an incoming telnet connection). Thanks. main() { struct sockaddr_in sin; int s; int opt = 1; int ret; HANDLE h; /* init server socket. */ if ((s=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0))< 0) { printf("%s: setsockopt! %s\n", __FUNCTION__, strerror(errno)); } /* try to bind to port */ memset(&sin, 0, sizeof(sin)); sin.sin_family = AF_INET; sin.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK); // only bind to loopback now sin.sin_port = htons(8081); if (bind(s, (struct sockaddr *)&sin, sizeof(sin)) < 0) { return LP_ERR_SOCKET; } if (listen(s, LEAD_PIPE_MAX_CONN) < 0) { return LP_ERR_SOCKET; } h = (HANDLE) get_osfhandle(s); ASSERT(h> 0); fprintf(stdout, "Waiting on telnet handle %x\n", h); while(1) { WaitForSingleObject(h, INFINITE); fprintf(stdout, "Awoke on telnet handle\n"); } } _________________________________________________________________ Don't get caught with egg on your face.
