Re: Query on UDP Sockets on Linux.

[Venkata Rajesh Velamakanni]

Hello All,

I have closed the socket after shutting down the socket
(shutdown(sock,2)). Still recvfrom is hanging ( infact
blocking on that socket). I would like to know whether
any one has faced this problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh.
