I'd try to avoid a race condition like waiting for a socket to become ready for writing while writing to it.
Yes, it's my brain that is off this week. (grumble). I assumed the OP wanted to listen for additional connections while using the established ones.

listen(3SOCKET) 					     Sockets Library Functions						   listen(3SOCKET)

NAME
listen - listen for connections on a socket SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsocket -lnsl [ library ... ] #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> int listen(int s, int backlog); DESCRIPTION
To accept connections, a socket is first created with socket(3SOCKET), a backlog for incoming connections is specified with listen() and then the connections are accepted with accept(3SOCKET). The listen() call applies only to sockets of type SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_SEQPACKET. The backlog parameter defines the maximum length the queue of pending connections may grow to. If a connection request arrives with the queue full, the client will receive an error with an indication of ECONNREFUSED for AF_UNIX sock- ets. If the underlying protocol supports retransmission, the connection request may be ignored so that retries may succeed. For AF_INET and AF_INET6sockets, the TCP will retry the connection. If the backlog is not cleared by the time the tcp times out, the connect will fail with ETIMEDOUT. RETURN VALUES
A 0 return value indicates success; -1 indicates an error. ERRORS
The call fails if: EBADF The argument s is not a valid file descriptor. ENOTSOCK The argument s is not a socket. EOPNOTSUPP The socket is not of a type that supports the operation listen(). ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT-Level |Safe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
accept(3SOCKET), connect(3SOCKET), socket(3SOCKET), attributes(5), socket.h(3HEAD) NOTES
There is currently no backlog limit. SunOS 5.10 8 Nov 1999 listen(3SOCKET)
