I'd be very suprised if it were. <hack> Nope, at least not on linux. Verified by looking at /proc/*/fdinfo/n after adding SOCK_CLOEXEC to just the socket() call. 'flags' changes from 02 -> 02000002 for the listen socket, but stays at 04002 for the client socket. If I add SOCK_CLOEXEC to accept() (well, accept4()), it does change from 04002 to 02004002.
