Certain callers might prefer an error response instead. I am not sure I agree here. Certainly I see the usefulness of gently handling a failure to write(). But if you are passing in too-large buffers, isn't that a bug in the program? How would you recover, except by splitting up the content? That might not be possible depending on how you are using the pkt-lines. And even if it is, wouldn't it be simpler to split it up before sending it to format_packet()? -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
