answer delay of read() on a socket

[DUPETY]

Function read() in C takes until two seconds for answering.
Does someone know if there is a patch on HP-UX11 or a specific code to avoid tis problem

[Adam J Markiewicz]

At the first site I wouldn't expect any problem with read() that should be patched. The behaviour depends on many attributes:

The main two, which you don't tell are:

1. What type of protocol is used (datagram / stream)?
2. Is socket set into nonblocking mode?

To be honest I think that you are trying to read more data that is actually available. So this behaviour is quite correct unless you set another mode.
