I'd suggest reading up on kernel modules and drivers. You can't compare read and write behaviors of different devices. Take a keyboard for example. When no one is typing on the keyboard, there is nothing to read.
But it doesn't mean it is the end of file. Regular files on the other hand has data always ready for reading. You always get to the end of file even if the file is empty. Socket behaves similarly with keyboard. If data hasn't arrived, there is nothing to read.
Thanks, clear answer. I'm checking ldd for the detail. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. A socket is ready for reading if any of the following four conditions is true: The number of bytes of data in the socket receive buffer is greater than or equal to the current size of the low-water mark for the socket receive buffer.
A read operation on the socket will not block and will return a value greater than 0 i. A read operation on the socket will not block and will return 0 i. The socket is a listening socket and the number of completed connections is nonzero. A read operation on the socket will not block and will return an error —1 with errno set to the specific error condition. A socket is ready for writing if any of the following four conditions is true: The number of bytes of available space in the socket send buffer is greater than or equal to the current size of the low-water mark for the socket send buffer and either: i the socket is connected, or ii the socket does not require a connection e.
This means that if we set the socket to nonblocking, a write operation will not block and will return a positive value e. A socket using a non-blocking connect has completed the connection, or the connect has failed. A socket error is pending. A write operation on the socket will not block and will return an error —1 with errno set to the specific error condition.
Passing false for noDelay will enable Nagle's algorithm. Sets the socket to timeout after timeout milliseconds of inactivity on the socket. By default net. Socket do not have a timeout. When an idle timeout is triggered the socket will receive a 'timeout' event but the connection will not be severed.
The user must manually call socket. The optional callback parameter will be added as a one-time listener for the 'timeout' event. The socket timeout in milliseconds as set by socket. It is undefined if a timeout has not been set. Calling unref on a socket will allow the program to exit if this is the only active socket in the event system.
If the socket is already unref ed calling unref again will have no effect. Sends data on the socket. The second parameter specifies the encoding in the case of a string. It defaults to UTF8 encoding. Returns true if the entire data was flushed successfully to the kernel buffer. Returns false if all or part of the data was queued in user memory.
The optional callback parameter will be executed when the data is finally written out, which may not be immediately. See Writable stream write method for more information. Alias to net. A factory function, which creates a new net. Socket , immediately initiates connection with socket.
Socket that starts the connection. When the connection is established, a 'connect' event will be emitted on the returned socket. For available options, see new net. Socket [options] and socket. Following is an example of a client of the echo server described in the net.
This function creates a new net. Socket with all options set to default, immediately initiates connection with socket. If allowHalfOpen is set to true , when the other end of the socket signals the end of transmission, the server will only send back the end of transmission when socket.
Until then the connection is half-closed non-readable but still writable. See 'end' event and RFC section 4. If pauseOnConnect is set to true , then the socket associated with each incoming connection will be paused, and no data will be read from its handle.
This allows connections to be passed between processes without any data being read by the original process. To begin reading data from a paused socket, call socket. Tests if input is an IP address. Returns 0 for invalid strings, returns 4 for IP version 4 addresses, and returns 6 for IP version 6 addresses. Returns true if input is a version 4 IP address, otherwise returns false.
Returns true if input is a version 6 IP address, otherwise returns false. BlockList blockList. SocketAddress new net. SocketAddress [options] socketaddress. Server new net. Server [options][, connectionListener] Event: 'close' Event: 'connection' Event: 'error' Event: 'listening' server.
Shell Programming and Scripting. How to bulk changing partial file name in Linux? I have a bunch of database files in a directory. Hello, this is probably a simple request but I've been toying with it for a while. I have a large list of devices and commands that were run with a script, now I have lines such as: a-router-hostname-C show ver I want to print everything up to and excluding the and everything after it Tried to make a icmp and tcp packet and send it with sendto.
Checked on wireshark and recognized that kernel changed my headers. So searched about stopping the kernel change the header and tried it with setsockopt, like said in at this IP Networking.
Hi, We have smb client running on two of the linux boxes and smb server on another linux system. During a backup operation which uses smb, read of a file was allowed while write to the same file was going on. Also simultaneous writes to the same file were allowed. Following are the settings in the Linux BSD sockets blocking issue. Any ideas? RedHat Commands. OpenSolaris Commands.
Linux Commands. SunOS Commands. FreeBSD Commands. The Write function is an advantage for using it as a generalization. It is actually created for transferring data in network programming. The system call is considered to be the programming method in which a specific program demands a service from the operating system, which may include several kinds of services from hardware to communication services to control the programming process.
It basically tends to provide an interface to program between an operating system and a specific process through various functions. The Send function and the Write function are both a part of the system call, which processes the programming in networking.
The functions have their own part of work for transmitting messages to other ports from a specified port to keep the process going providing a smoother way of transmission of messages or files in the field of network and programming.
