That sounds perfectly okay. >From SuS V3: ------------------------------------------------------------------- A descriptor shall be considered ready for reading when a call to an input function with O_NONBLOCK clear would not block, whether or not the function would transfer data successfully. (The function might return data, an end-of-file indication, or an error other than one indicating that it is blocked, and in each of these cases the descriptor shall be considered ready for reading.) ------------------------------------------------------------------- So everything is perfectly okay, and because you have to do proper error checking anyways, that shouldn't disturb your application at all.
