The server program send the data to the client program,And the data is huge count and I want to implement that If some error happen and traslation of the data is interrupted,The program can send the data to the client program from the pos of the data stream where is interrupted.

Hi all,
On the server side, one socket is used for listening, the others are used for communicating with the client.

Again, what's the different if set option... (1 Reply)

READ(2) Linux Programmer's Manual READ(2)
NAME
read - read from a file descriptor
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
ssize_t read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count);
DESCRIPTION
read() attempts to read up to count bytes from file descriptor fd into the buffer starting at buf.
If count is zero, read() returns zero and has no other results. If count is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is unspecified.
RETURN VALUE
On success, the number of bytes read is returned (zero indicates end of file), and the file position is advanced by this number. It is not
an error if this number is smaller than the number of bytes requested; this may happen for example because fewer bytes are actually avail-
able right now (maybe because we were close to end-of-file, or because we are reading from a pipe, or from a terminal), or because read()
was interrupted by a signal. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. In this case it is left unspecified whether the
file position (if any) changes.
ERRORS
EINTR The call was interrupted by a signal before any data was read.
EAGAIN Non-blocking I/O has been selected using O_NONBLOCK and no data was immediately available for reading.
EIO I/O error. This will happen for example when the process is in a background process group, tries to read from its controlling tty,
and either it is ignoring or blocking SIGTTIN or its process group is orphaned. It may also occur when there is a low-level I/O
error while reading from a disk or tape.
EISDIR fd refers to a directory.
EBADF fd is not a valid file descriptor or is not open for reading.
EINVAL fd is attached to an object which is unsuitable for reading.
EFAULT buf is outside your accessible address space.
Other errors may occur, depending on the object connected to fd. POSIX allows a read that is interrupted after reading some data to return
-1 (with errno set to EINTR) or to return the number of bytes already read.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, SVID, AT&T, POSIX, X/OPEN, BSD 4.3
RESTRICTIONS
On NFS file systems, reading small amounts of data will only update the time stamp the first time, subsequent calls may not do so. This is
caused by client side attribute caching, because most if not all NFS clients leave atime updates to the server and client side reads satis-
fied from the client's cache will not cause atime updates on the server as there are no server side reads. UNIX semantics can be obtained
by disabling client side attribute caching, but in most situations this will substantially increase server load and decrease performance.
Many filesystems and disks were considered to be fast enough that the implementation of O_NONBLOCK was deemed unneccesary. So, O_NONBLOCK
may not be available on files and/or disks.
