Hi all, I want to apologize for my previous post :) If what you want is to know is if there was an error & how much you red? that it might not work as you cann't return two value at once (not this way). But if you want to now if there was an error on first reading? > @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ static ssize_t __read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count) > while (count > 0) { > len = read(fd, buf + pos, count); > if (len <= 0) -> - return len; -> + return pos > len ? pos : len; + return pos > 0 ? pos : len; > > count -= len; > pos += len; this will return error code on first reading and the position successfully red (i.e. before the error) on sequent readings. (all assuming that pos==on entry) You probably do not want to know the variant with position(=0) on the first reading and error code on subsequent(before your patch) Before your patch it was an error code all the time After your patch it was the position all the time Best Wishes Marcin Tolysz -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
