I'm fairly convinced that I saw the solution to this on lkml not too
long ago, but I've been unable to find it again. :(
Netstat finds this information by reading the tx_queue field in
/proc/net/tcp (focusing on tcp here ;), but I wish to avoid parsing
/proc/net/tcp.
OTOH, if someone could clarify the behaviour of a write to a socket...
Write(2) is permitted to not send the entire contents of your request and
instead to return after only having written a fraction of your request.
What happens then when you throw blocking vs non-blocking sockets into
the mix?
A non-blocking socket returns EAGAIN if the operation would block,
whereas would a blocking socket choose to block until the write is
complete or return early?
TIA.
