That's the normal case and I imagine 99% of the socket code

Still it is strange to require magic numbers as default.

I too have a hard time figuring out what it is suppose to offer.
In my (Perl) program recv hangs until it have read as many bytes as
specified by the third arg.
As I understand the documentation that is the behavior if MSG_WAITALL
is set.
But I have set the 'flag' 0, which means ???

I just wanna read until oef on the socket. How do I do that?

Best regards!
