SIGPIPE happens normally because you attempt to write to a socket that has
closed.
There are a couple of things you can do...
1. You can disable SIGPIPE notification. Something like:
struct sigaction sa;
sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
sa.sa_flags = 0;
if (sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask) == -1 || sigaction(SIGPIPE, &sa, 0) == -1) {
perror("failed to ignore SIGPIPE; sigaction");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
2. You can check the status of the socket before you write to it.
socklen_t err_len;
int error;
err_len = sizeof(error);
getsockopt(handle, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR, &error, &err_len);
if (error != ESHUTDOWN) {
// actually, I cant remember what E code to check,
// ESHUTDOWN might not be it... you can look that up yourself.
}
As an aside, most people dont get this error under 'normal' conditions
because as part of their process they tend to always do a read before
attempting a write. A read would detect the closed socket, and you
wouldn't bother doing the write. You are probably doing something like
that, but when doing it rapidly, connection is closing in-between the read
and write.... hence getting the sigpipe.
