returning when there is 'real' data to read.

You're probably better off asking on a Posix programming list than
here. Wherever you ask, though, you should post the code in question,
or code that demonstrates the problem in a state that can be compiled
and verified by others. While you've described what you think you've
done, you haven't given enough information for us to do anything but
guess at the problem.

Can you suggest such a list - I can only find lists for POSIX threads!<br>
<br>
Code goes as follows<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<pre><tt>int fd[2] = { -1, -1 };
fd_set rfd;
int rv;
char buf[1024];
struct timeval timeout = { 10, 0 };
rv = socketpair(PF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0, fd);
if (rv < 0) Err("socketpair");
fcntl(fd[0], F_SETFL, fcntl(fd[0], F_GETFL, 0) | O_NONBLOCK);
FD_ZERO(rfd);
FD_SET(fd[0], rfd);
rv = select(fd[0]+1, &rfd, NULL, NULL, &timeout);
if (FD_ISSET(fd[0], rfd)) {
printf("Socket is ready to read\n");
rv = recv(fd[0], buf, sizeof(buf), MSG_DONTWAIT);
if (rv < 0) Err("recv - %s(%d)", strerror(errno), errno);
printf("Socket returned %d bytes\n", rv);
} else {
printf("Socket is not ready to read\n");
}
exit (0);
</tt></pre>

I contend that this should (if I understand the semantics correctly)
print out "Socket not ready to read" instead I get "recv - Resource
temporarily unavailable(11)"<br>
<br>
Anybody?<br>
