I've been out of network programming for a while here and was having a random musing that I thought somebody here might be able to answer.
Let's say you have a tcp/ip socket in a given multi-threaded program. And let's further say that you have one thread specifically for reading, and one thread specifically for writing. Is it legitimate to have the two threads doing their respective operation on the socket simultaneously? In other words, can you simultaneously read and write a tcp/ip socket? Or would the threads need to do some locking themselves to make sure this doesn't happen? This isn't a "I'm trying to..." question, I have no practical example or reason for asking. Just good old fashioned geek curiostiy. 8) -- "Maybe I'll be able to get a job when I graduate..." -Linus Torvalds Cole Tuininga Lead Developer Code Energy, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key ID: 0x43E5755D _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
