Hi Group,

for porting issues, I need to translate a fcntl(). In the original
*nix-code the following is used:

   fcntl(sd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);

to make sd a non blocking socket. Now I was wondering if

   // If iMode = 0, blocking is enabled; 
   // If iMode != 0, non-blocking mode is enabled.
   int iMode = 1;
   ioctlsocket(sd, FIONBIO, (u_long FAR*) &iMode)

contains the same behaviour for win32 systems.

Many kind greetings,

    --wim

You'd better ask in Winsock programming group, like
alt.winsock.programming.

However, it is easy to test: just open a connection
to a remote host and execute the following:

	int r;
	char buf;

	r1 = read(fd, &buf, 1);

	assert(r1 == -1 && errno == EAGAIN);

or something similar.

(make sure the remote host does not send anything.
www.com:80 will do).

If you only want to switch from blocking to non-blocking mode, you should
first get the current flags, add O_NONBLOCK and then set these flags.
The above code would clear the current flags set.
