output events on select

[Tor Erik Sønvisen]

Hi

When using select, what exactly will trigger an output-event?
I have a socket registered in the output-list of the select but an
output-event is never generated for that socket. I know the socket is ready
to send data, so how can I make select return with an output-event?

regards tores

It is better to talk about status than event. The select should return the
socket in the ready set for write when a write on that socket can be done
without blocking. So if it doen't return it then something is wrong. This
is on Unix systems, by the way. On Windows things might be different.
