Hi,
I have a single threaded process that is a basic TCP server.
I use select() in order to not block when I read data from
the client so I can do other things if no data is available.
It only reads data and does NOT send anything to the client.
(from the application layer anyway).
Well, I've run into the case where if the client mysteriously dies
and select() on reading does not return an error. It returns 0 which
is correct because the file descriptor is still valid from
the server's point of view and there is no data to be read.
The server just continues on like the client is still connected but
in fact it is not.
Aside from handling SIGPIPE, is there something else that I could do
to check for a terminated client?
Thanks,
Tuan
