At least in libpcap this should be useful. We need to implement a loop where at most N events are read from the buffer. After fetching and processing them we need to acknowledge them without fetching any others. Perhaps, just to keep things simple, the flush only operation should be implemented as a separate ioctl command ?!? ciao, Paolo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
