So are the FreeBSD/Linux man pages. They don't specifically indicate truncation or flushing of data, although I don't recall ever thinking of shutdown() as truncating. To be, what Microsoft got wrong in WinSock is _requiring_ shutdown() to reliably close a socket while ensuring all final data gets delivered. It certainly caught me by surprise (and annoyance) at one point. I rarely ever used it in a Unix environment, but I do think it should be safe. -- David /-----------------------------------------------------------------------\ \ David Bolen \ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / | FitLinxx, Inc. \ Phone: (203) 708-5192 | / 860 Canal Street, Stamford, CT 06902 \ Fax: (203) 316-5150 \ \-----------------------------------------------------------------------/ -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
