What do you do is the data you want is beyond the size of the socket's receive buffer? You can't seek past that without allowing the socket to go over it's receive buffer limits. And if you limit the seek to the receive buffer limit, that's a real grotty limitation and it's not real seek() support on the stream. Really, this idea has more holes than swiss cheese. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
