I have this function in C and I would like to use it to write bytes through my udp socket in non-blocking mode. I should complete the "TO BE DONE" part. Anyone could help me to understand what to do please? Does recalling the write function there could make any sense?
ssize_t nonblocking_write_all(int fd, const void *ptr, size_t n)
{
size_t n_left = n;
while (n_left > 0) {
ssize_t n_written = write(fd, ptr, n_left);
if (n_written < 0) {
/*** TO BE DONE START ***/
/*** TO BE DONE END ***/
if (n_left == n)
return -1; /* nothing has been written */
else
break; /* we have written something */
} else if (n_written == 0) {
continue;
}
n_left -= n_written;
ptr += n_written;
}
assert(n - n_left >= 0);
return n - n_left;
}
This worked: n_written=nonblocking_write_all(fd,ptr,n_left);
