Hi,
when a pipe/socket is broken, the process trying to read/write to it gets SIGPIPE. Is there a way to detect whether the next read/write will trigger a SIGPIPE? select() does not seem helpful here.
My specific case is "ssh server svprogram", in which the ssh process is locally terminated with ^C, and the svprogram continues to run on the server (good so), and when a socket breaks, it should cleanly shut down - ideally before the next read/write is attempted.
thanks, Jan -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
