- Q1. What happens to OOB data.
- A1. Unless you're specificaly watching event 19 yourself, little.
- I do not look for or do any special handling for OOB data.
-
- Q2. BGET#X% never returns.
- A2. BGET#X% only returns if there's data waiting to be sent. On Freenet
- you can see if there any data waiting by doing *netstat and if the
- Recv-Q entry for the socket you're interested is non-zero, there is
- data waiting. Otherwise BGET will wait for data from the remote side,
- while it is waiting you won't be able to do anything else with
- socketfs on this socket. As the calls are blocked by risc-os, so
- if you need to prod the remote machine to get the data, prod it before
- you run BGET.
