Somewhere in fctl() is O_NONBLOCK, which changes your sockets or whatever fd so it does not block. OPENSOLARIS Man Pages and OPENSOLARIS Commands at the UNIX and Linux Forums Blocking is the default. You can avoid blocking issues by using thread per fd/direction, poll()/select() to detect what is ready, aio (async IO) or nonblocking fd's.
