Re: Nonblocking socket

Hi,

Following the documentation on hp-ux I set my socket as non-blocking:

int nFlags;

nFlags = fcntl(ListenSocket, F_GETFL, 0);

nFlags |= O_NONBLOCK;

if (fcntl(ListenSocket, F_SETFL, nFlags) == -1)

return false;



This actually to work fine but what I don't understand is that accept() returns errno 2 (ENOENT) instead of EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK like the documentation says.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

The error code that I get is not even mentioned in the manpage for accept.

Which protocol family ? Socket is just a entry point for
several protocol families, so a bug in the accept entry
routine of the specific PF could cause the system call
accept() to return an unexpected error.

Following is just my guess - if you are using PF which
does not support NONBLOCKing sockets, then it might
return ENOENT (which in practice should return ENOTSUP).
Does the accept work okay with a blocking socket ?
