Re: [Plug] sockets


I think you can do a select(2) to see what state the socket is in, and act
accordingly.  If that's not what you're looking for, try ioctl(2) [and 
subsequently ioctl_list(2), or fcntl(2).


See Richard Steven's books on netowrk, and unix programming.  They'll have
clearly written examples for anything you're trying to do.

It's not C or C++ specfic, it's library (socket) specific.
