Hi! Is it a mistake if "blocking write", following a successful select/poll, blocks? Should a locking mechanism be implemented for this, [-OR-] is it OK if the code just loops back up and polls again? Is it allowed to call select/poll in blocking and in non-blocking mode? Is there a difference if poll is called in blocking or non-blocking mode?
