Hi All,
Information wanted for the socket libraries.I am going to use accept()
and select() system call in an multithreaded environment.Do I need to
take care of any locking mechanism when I access the above calls or I
can call them directly.
I did some google search it seems the above system calls are thread
safe, but any help or suggestion would be very much appreciated.Do I
need to take care of anything important if the code is ported both in
Solaris and Linux.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Arnab |

The UNIX(*)-specification demands that they are thread-safe. |

The only issues will be with 'close'. Just like any other system
resource, you must not release a resource in one thread while another
thread is or might be using it. Otherwise, they are completely thread
safe.
