Hello,
I am in doubt about the following;
what happens when a non-blocking socket that still has pending outgoing
data is closed? In my network book (by R. Stevens) I read that TCP will
try to flush the data already queued in the output buffer. But in the
FreeBSD man page of close I got:
on the last close of a socket(2) associated naming information and
queued data are discarded
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's right ...?
P.S.: Please send the answer with CC to me, I'm currently not on the
mailing list. Thank you.!
Best regards from Dresden/Germany!
Marcus
