Should the connected party fail to respond to these messages, the connection is con- sidered broken and processes using the socket are notified via a SIGPIPE signal when attempting to send data. For me it seems to be a good idea to support this. For the applications (server, client) it is transparent, but notices a cutted or broken network connection faster then before... But even with this you only realise that the connection is gone when sending something, AFAIK. Ciao Alvar -- Alvar C.H.
