socket_set_blocking -- Set blocking/non-blocking mode on a socket

Description

int socket_set_blocking ( int socket descriptor, int mode)

If mode is FALSE , the given socket descriptor will be switched to non-blocking mode , and if TRUE , it will be switched to blocking mode . This affects calls like fgets( ) that read from the socket . In non-blocking mode an fgets( ) call will always return right away while in blocking mode it will wait for data to become available on the socket .

This function was previously called as set_socket_blocking( ) but this usage is deprecated .
