Re: Documentation has always been iffy for unix system APIs
On the subject of data building up in the queue - I wonder how other unix's cope with OOB data if the receiver never reads it? Could in theory a malicious app send so much OOB on a TCP stream that it fills up a buffer on the receiving end causing some sort of fault , or do most kernels use a ring buffer where data just gets overwriiten if not read?
