Comment: wrong flag - O_NONBLOCK is for fcntl; MSG_DONTWAIT is for recv

...

This compliant solution performs the recv() call with the parameter oMSG_nonblockDONTWAIT, which causes the call to fail if no messages are available on the socket:

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff
langc
void thread_foo(void *ptr) {
  uint32_t num;
  int result;

  /* sock is a connected TCP socket */

  if ((result = recv(sock, (void *)&num, sizeof(uint32_t), OMSG_NONBLOCKDONTWAIT)) < 0) {
    /* Handle Error */
  }

  if ((result = pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex)) != 0) {
    /* Handle Error */
  }

  /* ... */

  if ((result = pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex)) != 0) {
    /* Handle Error */
  }
}
