Subject: Proper return value from 'swrite()' when connection has been closed
X-Git-Tag: collectd-5.8.0~76^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=243163d9a20ed9961f6c2eefe59b411b5c39d707;p=collectd.git

Proper return value from 'swrite()' when connection has been closed

According to POSIX, errno is set only if 'recv()' returns -1.
When connection has been closed, 'recv()' returns 0 and errno left untouched.
For functions which check errno value after 'swrite()', errno now is set to ECONNRESET,
so they produce correct message 'Connection reset by peer'.
