What's the difference between a socket server done in this way:

accept() -> select() -> recv() --- in a blocking way ---

And a socket server done in this way?

accept() -> recv() --- in a blocking way ---

Both wait for data to be received before to unblock. But what's the
advantage and disavantage in the first and in second solution?

Thanks in advance
