+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR sockatmark ()
+returns a value indicating whether or not the socket referred
+to by the file descriptor
+.I sockfd
+is at the out-of-band mark.
+If the socket is at the mark, then 1 is returned;
+if the socket is not at the mark, 0 is returned.
+This function does not remove the out-of-band mark.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+A successful call to
+.BR sockatmark ()
+returns 1 if the socket is at the out-of-band mark, or 0 if it is not.
+On error, \-1 is returned and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EBADF
+.I sockfd
+is not a valid file descriptor.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.\" POSIX.1 says ENOTTY for this case
+.I sockfd
+is not a file descriptor to which
+.BR sockatmark ()
+can be applied.

+.SH STANDARDS

+.SH HISTORY
+glibc 2.2.4.
+POSIX.1-2001.
+.SH NOTES
+If
+.BR sockatmark ()
+returns 1, then the out-of-band data can be read using the
+.B MSG_OOB
+flag of
+.BR recv (2).
+.PP
+Out-of-band data is supported only on some stream socket protocols.
+.PP
+.BR sockatmark ()
+can safely be called from a handler for the
+.B SIGURG
+signal.
+.PP
+.BR sockatmark ()
+is implemented using the
+.B SIOCATMARK
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operation.
+.SH BUGS
+Prior to glibc 2.4,
+.BR sockatmark ()
+did not work.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following code can be used after receipt of a
+.B SIGURG
+signal to read (and discard) all data up to the mark,
+and then read the byte of data at the mark:
+.PP
+.EX
+ char buf[BUF_LEN];
+ char oobdata;
+ int atmark, s;
+\&
+ for (;;) {
+ atmark = sockatmark(sockfd);
+ if (atmark == \-1) {
+ perror("sockatmark");
+ break;
+ }
+\&
+ if (atmark)
+ break;
+\&
+ s = read(sockfd, buf, BUF_LEN);
+ if (s == \-1)
+ perror("read");
+ if (s <= 0)
+ break;
+ }
+\&
+ if (atmark == 1) {
+ if (recv(sockfd, &oobdata, 1, MSG_OOB) == \-1) {
+ perror("recv");
+ ...
+ }
+ }
