Hi, My question has to do with how someone would find out if a call to socket(2) actually produced a socket. I know that the API works, I've programmed with it many times, but is there a way to find out if 's' returned by socket(2) is actually valid in whatever kernel structure it is stored? I understand that I may have the process entirely mixed up. But it seems to me that the socket is somehow known to the kernel and I should be able to query the kernel somehow and discover if it is valid. Let me know if my question doesn't make sense as worded and I'll try to explain myself better. Another question related to this one, would someone in this list know where the source code is, in the system source tree, for the select call? Thanks, Andy
