A question regarding sockets

[dani.user]

Hello

How can I configure a tcp socket so that, when sending data through it, the program should not wait until all the data is received by the other end?

Thank you

Your app sending the information shouldn't halt unless the network becomes overly saturated with the packets you are sending, afaik.

Either threaded loops that wait on the socket or asynchronous I/O are the recommended techniques. In Linux, for example, I could use the "select" system call to wait for data on any number of sockets simultaneously and then dispatch to a handling function. Windows has a similar api, called "WaitForMultipleObjects".

Ok.
