ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

since you have the previous flags saved in the variable v, all you have to do is:
fcntl(sd, F_SETFD, v);
but as an aside, lets say you had done this:
v = fcntl(sd, F_GETFD, 0);
v |= O_NONBLOCK;
now if you wanted to remove the nonblocking flag from v, you would go
v &= ~O_NONBLOCK
that would clear the O_NONBLOCK flag. remember flags are just bits that
have been "turned on", meaning set to 1. to turn off a bit you just set it back to 0.
the '~' complements O_NONBLOCK, setting all the bits that were 0 to 1, and the
bits that were 1 to 0. then when you '&=' it with v this has the effect of setting
the bit in v for O_NONBLOCK to 0.
-sighs-, I knew it was something like that, and why I didn't think to just use v, I don't know, anyway thanks.. Though, I found that the problem was not from the ``blocking'' sockets... so back to the drawing board.
