In nonblocking mode, the man page says that send() "would fail" if the
message is long, and then I might interpret the "Return value" paragraph
to imply that it returns -1. However a simple test in that case shows
that send() returns the number of bytes sent, which is certainly a
sensible thing to do, pragmatically.

I think this depends on the type of the socket.  Which type did you
use?


For now I am considering SOCK_STREAM sockets.
