fcntl missing in the estlib library ??

[raj_ccna]

Hi,

I am porting one C networking application to Symbian. I want to make the socket non-blocking.
1. Which API I can use for setting the status of the socket non-blocking?

In the symbian SDK it says that it supports fcntl. But in the ESTLIB which comes along with SDK doesn't contain fcntl. I dissembled the library using code warrior , but I couldn't find the fcntl in the library. Is any patch is available for the library?

Is there is any other API which does the above functionality as fcntl ?


Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi,

I need non-blocking socket operation in order
to replace "select()"-commands in C-code that I want to
port.

So I am facing the same problem like you, did you find a solution meanwhile?

Perhaps it is possible to use recv / send with the
flag MSG_DONTWAIT, which enables nonblocking operation.

My compiler sais "MSG_DONTWAIT' : undeclared identifier".
I could #define MSG_DONTWAIT ... according to Linux, then
compilation gives no error, but I'm not sure whether it will
really work (difficult to test the networking with the emulator).
