Hello, I am adding an event to a connected TCP server with the flags EV_READ|EV_PERSIST and calling read() when i get a callback, in order to get the data from the client.
In order to detect a "disconnection" by the client i look for a return value of 0 from read() in the callback function. This seems to work correctly when i do a kill -INT on the client or a kill -9 on the client: the callback is triggered on the server and the return from read() is 0. However if i a do hard reset(power off) of the machine running the client, it does not seem to work and I believe I am not getting a callback function for the event on the server. Is this the best way to detect the disconnection of a TCP client or is there a smarter solution (other than using timeouts, which is a possibility)? Thanks!
