I've got a program which does a select() on an UDP socket. When data
arives it tries to read it with read(2) but fails and read()
returns EBADMSG. I tried to get the data with recv() and
that works.
My question is when to use read() and when recv() (or even recvmsg())
or should I always use recv() to make sure I'll get the data? This is
on a Sequent running DYNIX/ptx (sort of a sysvr4 box).
Thanx,
Wilfred Mollenvanger.
1. read vs. send/write vs. recv
Hello,
What is the difference between the read() and send()/write and recv()
system calls for sockets??
Are there any advantages of one call as opposed to the other?? Thank you
