    When send fails, it kills the program without warning.

    Hi,

    I have a program (SERVER) that listens on two ports (45113 and 45115), and once they are connected, will send user input to the two sockets.

    Once everything is connected and working, I killed off one of the externally connected programs (TV or MUSIC), and have the server send more data, the server program sends the data and then just stops.

    Since the sending operation is in an endless loop and send doesn't do error checking, shouldn't there be some sort of segmentation fault or some sort of error output? Why does it just stop?

    Linux ou outro Unix?

    man 7 signal, veja SIGPIPE.
