Hi All, I ahve a small question on using send with sockets. On normal circumstances can I assume that "send always sends specified bytes completely" or Do I need to check for the return value and continue looping till I send the complete data. The man pgaes of send say that send normally blocks when there is no buffer space left. But the man pages of select_tut say that "send" is not assured of sending the complete data. Can somebody suggestme on what approach do I need to take. Hope this is the right place to ask this question. Thanks and Regards, --thomas http://movies.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
