System name: soup
Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 7.1H
Display type: apa16
What were you trying to do?
Put good error checking in my code and handle the case
where a network client's server vanished from thin air.
What's wrong:
The read(2) manual page does not list ECONNRESET as one
of the possible return codes of the read() system call.
This is the value returned in the following case:
1. TCP client connects to server
2. Server closes the socket
3. Client does a write()
4. Client does a read()
The read() in #4 returns ECONNRESET ("connection reset by peer")
What should have happened:
The manual page should correctly list the possible error
codes that read() returns.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
