Don't quote me on this, just going from memory. The flags parameter to send() in linux has some bits that might not be there in BSD (e.g. EPIPE). On linux, the completion of connect()s on non-blocking sockets is determined via the write_fds passed to select(). On some Unixi (can't remember if it was BSD or System V), that was done via the read_fds. The meaning of the SO_SNDBUF option seems to be different on linux than it is on other sockets implementation. On linux, it seems to be the size of the internal buffer used by the kernel to manage the send side of the connection and includes both user data and internal kernel data used to manage it whereas on other sockets its the amount of actual user data that is buffered for transmission in the kernel. I posted a question about this a couple of weeks ago to this list and never got a response.
