Hi!
While porting a program to linux, I noticed strange thing with out-of-band data handling. After looking at the kernel source, I found that only one byte of OOB data can be handled on linux. Am I correct?
That is, urg_data is u32, and only one byte is used for data. So recv(...,MSG_OOB) only returns single byte, and if called again it returns EINVAL because urg_data==URG_READ.
The question is: is this the right thing? I was under impression that OOB data can be any size.
Alexander.
