Upon reflection, I think that O_NONBLOCK should NEVER have an effect on read/write. Polling should be done either old-school (for ttys) by VMIN/VTIME, or by poll/select, or via AIO facilities, none of which have anything to do with modes on the FD. (OK, ICANON and VMIN/VTIME are grandfathered.)
Else we have quite the mess, witness these discussions. The kernel guys now have my permission to rip this crap out of Linux. The rest of us can follow. :-) -- Jim _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
