The only difference between these types is that record boundaries ..." Then in 2.10.14 Signals: "The SIGPIPE signal shall be sent to a thread that attempts to send data on a socket that is no longer able to send. In addition, the send operation fails with the error [EPIPE]." It's honestly not super clear, but I assume the problem is similar with seqpacket since it's connection-oriented, or did I miss something? For example in sctp_sendmsg() IIUC we raise a SIGPIPE regardless of whether the socket is STREAM or SEQPACKET.> >Page 1802 (description of 'send()' call): >MSG_NOSIGNAL > >Requests not to send the SIGPIPE signal if an attempt to >send is made on a stream-oriented socket that is no >longer connected.
