Re: A non-blocking recv socket function?
Also you should probably have posted in a more relevant group:
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.networks
Your question is about WinSock, not C or C++.

Hello,
I'm trying to write a simple socket client that monitors and retrieves
incoming data. The recv function blocks, which is not what I want.
Ideally,
I'd like to be able to first call some function that immediately returns
and
tells me whether or not there is any data actually available. If so I
could
call recv to retrieve it but if not, I wouldn't call it. This would be
like
calling kbhit to see if any serial port data is available before calling
the
getch function to retrieve it. I realize I could play games and write a
separate thread, and I understand something can be done using
WSAAsyncSelect
(althought I don't know quite what). But, it seems like this should be a
simple thing to do and I should not have to resort to these more complex
solutions.
Thanks,
Ray
I should have done more reading. It looks like the ioctlsocket function
is
what I am looking for! Thanks anyway.
