From: Jens David <dg1kjd@afthd.tu-darmstadt.de> Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2002 10:11:08 +0100 Now how do I make sure that between my last read() and the close() system call no more data arrives? Sounds like a race condition to me. The client and server must agree on what is to be sent/received. Or do I have to make sure on higher protocol layers that this situation does not occur? That's right. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
