Can Tcp/Ip "Accept() " Be Made "Non Blocking"
-
I have an application where using a timer I periodically check to see if a client is trying to connect over a socket to a server...the server code uses the Accept() call to accept new clients, but I dont want the call to Accept() to block if no one is attempting to connect. I want to immediately execute some other code. Can I make it non blocking?? Thanks. :) Jerry

I think you may instead want to call
Listen()in a separate thread.Listen()is a blocking call (I believe you can specify a timeout) that waits for a client to connect.Accept()is called when the connection is accepted. See this[^] MSDN link. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com -

I think you should go by
select()then. It takes a parameter which specifies a timeout for the operation. You can also check out theWSAAccept()function. Rickard Andersson Here is my card, contact me later! UIN: 50302279 Sonork: 37318 -

Listen()simply sets up the socket for accepting connections, and accepts the size of the connection backlog (how many connections can be queued before they are accepted usingAccept()).Accept()is a blocking call that waits for a connection, and accepts it when one arrives.Ryan
