And btw., this document is completely bogus - shutdown for writing will of course not discard any data, at least not on a unix system (not on windows either). what the manpage probably tries to say is that further send/write operations will be disallowed, and data discarded. shutting down for write will simply signal an EOF to the other side via tcp, the connection itself will of course continue. (shutting down both directions is not an operation that maps on tcp/ip, and behaviour between implementations differs). -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / p...@goof.com -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ _______________________________________________ libev mailing list libev@lists.schmorp.de http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libev
