-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Some time back Alan asked about adding O_NONBLOCK support to bind in the POSIX spec. I brought this up and the following text will be in the next revision of the POSIX spec:
======================= If the socket address cannot be assigned immediately and O_NONBLOCK is set for the file descriptor for the socket, bind( ) shall fail and set errno to [EINPROGRESS], but the assignment request shall not be aborted, and the assignment shall be completed asynchronously. Subsequent calls to bind() for the same socket, before the assignment is completed, shall fail and set errno to [EALREADY]. When the assignment has been performed asynchronously, pselect(), select(), and poll() shall indicate that the file descriptor for the socket is ready for reading and writing. ======================= It would be ideal if we'd have such an implementation in the next few months so that we, in theory, can check whether the text in the specification makes sense. - -- ➧ Ulrich Drepper ➧ Red Hat, Inc. ➧ 444 Castro St ➧ Mountain View, CA ❖ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG813Z2ijCOnn/RHQRAsNkAJ9EuDWX3EDez8+o/y3I39A7Axy++ACfZAXi DRFm1UadrbJ+c7ss0a1vWUI= =p1bV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
