(please Cc: me in reply, since I am not on the ML).
I am puzzled my a problem around the listen(2) system call.
The man page states the following item, which make sense:
ERRORS
EADDRINUSE
Another socket is already listening on the same
port.
EBADF The argument s is not a valid descriptor.
ENOTSOCK
The argument s is not a socket.
EOPNOTSUPP
The socket is not of a type that supports the lis
ten operation.
But when I go within the source code of listen implementation for STREAM
protocol (as specified for TCL in net/ipv4/af_inet.c) in the function
inet_listen() the default return code is EINVAL instead of EOPNOTSUPP.
Who holds the truth? I believe source code is wrong, since EOPNOTSUPP is
much more explicit.
BTW, where is the official & as much up-to-date as possible source for
kernel syscalls man pages?
