| Exiting socket gracefully When I call accept function, it keeps on waiting for the new connection. I want to know, can I call accept function in some manner so that it doesn't completely hang the execution. I don't want to use Ctrl+C to exit the server everytime. I know threading is an option, but some other better option? |

| Use non-block. Quote:
Code: #include <fcntl.h> fcntl(socket_fd,F_SETFL,O_NONBLOCK);

| Try using select() on it. Configure an internal pipe that you can use to break out of the select wait state (if you need to break out for some reason --- like your main tread is exiting) |
