TCP: write vs send (& read vs recv)

Hi,

I have a very simple socket program in which a TCP client sends a
message to a TCP server. For some reason, when I use the write()
library call, the server does not receive any message/data from the
client. However, if I substitute the write() library call with the
send() library call, everything works fine. I haven't tried the
return path yet, but I suspect that I'll have to use recv() rather
than read().

Does anyone want to guess what might be happening? What's the
difference between write and send (& read and recv) for TCP sockets?

Regards,
Nimmi
