Nevermind. It makes sense now. We do want to report a failure for 0-len
msg recv as well. You're effectively checking if the rcv queue is empty.
I'd add MSG_PEEK, to signal that we're _just checking_ if the socket is
readable, and turn the check into the below to succeed only when
queue is empty:
(n != -1 || (errno != EAGAIN && errno != EWOULDBLOCK))
It's a minor thing. Leaving it up to you. Either way:
