[PATCH] socket.7: Correctly describe SO_SNDTIMEO for connect

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When SO_SNDTIMEO is set before connect() connect may return EWOULDBLOCK
when the timeout fires. Describe this correctly.
