I am not 100% sure I understand your question. But it should be
perfectly
safe and legal to create a socket in blocking mode, perform blocking
operations to establish the connection, then switch the socket to
non-blocking mode and use the connection in non-blocking mode with
non-blocking operations. It should similarly be safe to set the socket to
blocking mode and then tear down the connection with blocking operations.
The only problem I can think of would be that while the socket is
blocking,
operations can always block. However, if you only set the socket blocking
and call functions that you want to block, I can't see any possible problem.
I have never done anything like this, however.
