I've got two Linux systems (A & B) and I've got some RxSock programs that run between them. I'm slightly confused. Could someone with a better understanding of this stuff confirm or deny the things below please? Thanks. (Ignore the coding style, it's the concepts that're important.)
A
<initilisation etc.> do forever pull text rc=SockSend(socket,text) end
B
<initialisation etc.> ... rc=SockRecv(sock,'recvar',maxlength) ...
Now, here, the SockRecv will return when maxlength bytes have been received. Yes/no? Or the socket on A has been closed (e.g. ctrl-C). Yes/no? As such, there's no way to get B to react when you press the return key on A. Yes/no?
Whereas, if I have this:
A
<initilisation etc.> do forever pull text rc=SockSend(socket,text) rc=SockRecv(socket,'ansvar',maxlength) end
B
<initialisation etc.> ... rc=SockRecv(sock,'recvar',maxlength) rc=SockSend(sock,text) ...
then the SockRecv in A tells B that it's waiting, which somehow or other causes B to complete its SockRecv *before* maxlength bytes have been received. Yes/No?
I've shuffled round the net looking for a good RxSock tutorial and can't find one - they're either not there any more or they tell me nothing really useful.
Thanks for any help.
