[Plib-devel] netSocket patch

[Oliver S. <li...@o-...>]

Hi list,

I have attached a minor patch to netSocket. It includes three changes:

1) netAddress::getIP() - returns sin_addr
2) netAddress::getFamily() - returns sin_family

both are really trivial and should do no harm.

3) changed netSocket::select( reads, writes, timeout )

the select method now handles non existent "reads" and "writes", so one can 
call select with eg: DataSocket->select (ListenSockets, 0, TimeOut);

Additionally it returns:
-1: error occurred
-2: timeout

so an application can differentiate between and occured error and a timeout.

These changes to ::select() might have impact on other parts of plib, not sure 
about that.

Nevertheless please consider to apply the patch to current plib-cvs.

regards,
Oliver
