> ...MSG_EOR is not supported by underlying WinSock. There's a similar MSG_PARTIAL, but it's defined differently. It's also unsupported by all of the predefined protocols, including UDP. Since MSG_EOR isn't implemented in the underlying transport layer, there's no way to implement it in userspace. That's why it's not defined in Cygwin's headers. If you have an idea how to implement this in plain userspace, feel free to provide patches. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Maintainer
