Arnaldo: Sorry, I have to bother you again with another Linux socket question.
Suppose that I have a Linux IP socket connected for a TCP connection and the socket is set as a non-blocking one with fcntl(). Even the socket is set as non-blocking, is it really possible to perform Non-Blocking Close on this socket? i.e., can I make the "int=close(fd)" a non-blocking call? The answer seems No to me based on my study. I am not totally sure though. If the answer is Yes, how? Please help, thanks a lot, Jingping --- Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 10/5/06, Jingping Lin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, Linux Kernel: > > For a project I will work on for mobile, I am > looking > > into the IP stacks on Linux. > > > > I have a few questions to bother you: > > No bothering, so far, please see the below answers > and try to check > them all before "bothering" again 8) > > > 1. is "socket.c" the file handling the socket > > interface? > > One of them > > > 2. which function is for opening a socket? > > It looks like "sock_map_fd()" is the one for > > opening/creating a socket?
