The +\fIsockatmark\fR() +function shall not remove the mark from the stream. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +Upon successful completion, the +\fIsockatmark\fR() +function shall return a value indicating whether the socket is at an +out-of-band data mark. If the protocol has marked the data stream and +all data preceding the mark has been read, the return value shall be 1; +if there is no mark, or if data precedes the mark in the receive queue, +the +\fIsockatmark\fR() +function shall return 0. Otherwise, it shall return a value of \-1 +and set +.IR errno +to indicate the error. +.SH ERRORS +The +\fIsockatmark\fR() +function shall fail if: +.TP +.BR EBADF +The +.IR s +argument is not a valid file descriptor. +.TP +.BR ENOTTY +The file associated with the +.IR s +argument is not a socket. +.LP +.IR "The following sections are informative." +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH "APPLICATION USAGE" +The use of this function between receive operations allows an +application to determine which received data precedes the out-of-band +data and which follows the out-of-band data. +.P +There is an inherent race condition in the use of this function. On an +empty receive queue, the current read of the location might well be at +the ``mark'', but the system has no way of knowing that the next data +segment that will arrive from the network will carry the mark, and +\fIsockatmark\fR() +will return false, and the next read operation will silently consume +the mark. +.P +Hence, this function can only be used reliably when the application +already knows that the out-of-band data has been seen by the system or +that it is known that there is data waiting to be read at the socket +(via SIGURG or +\fIselect\fR()). +See +.IR "Section 2.10.11" ", " "Socket Receive Queue", +.IR "Section 2.10.12" ", " "Socket Out-of-Band Data State", +.IR "Section 2.10.14" ", " "Signals", +and +\fIpselect\fR() +for details. +.SH RATIONALE +The +\fIsockatmark\fR() +function replaces the historical SIOCATMARK command to +\fIioctl\fR() +which implemented the same functionality on many implementations. Using +a wrapper function follows the adopted conventions to avoid specifying +commands to the +\fIioctl\fR() +function, other than those now included to support XSI STREAMS. The +\fIsockatmark\fR() +function could be implemented as follows: +.sp +.RS 4 +.nf + +#include <sys/ioctl.h> +.P +int sockatmark(int s) +{ + int val; + if (ioctl(s,SIOCATMARK,&val)==-1) + return(-1); + return(val); +} +.fi +.P +.RE +.P +The use of +.BR [ENOTTY] +to indicate an incorrect descriptor type matches the historical +behavior of SIOCATMARK. +.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" +None. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR "Section 2.10.12" ", " "Socket Out-of-Band Data State", +.IR "\fIpselect\fR\^(\|)", +.IR "\fIrecv\fR\^(\|)", +.IR "\fIrecvmsg\fR\^(\|)" +.P +The Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017, +.IR "\fB<sys_socket.h>\fP" +.\" +.SH COPYRIGHT +Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form +from IEEE Std 1003.1-2017, Standard for Information Technology +-- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base +Specifications Issue 7, 2018 Edition, +Copyright (C) 2018 by the Institute of +Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group. +In the event of any discrepancy between this version and the original IEEE and +The Open Group Standard, the original IEEE and The Open Group Standard +is the referee document.
