SOCKATMARK(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SOCKATMARK(3)
sockatmark - determine whether socket is at out-of-band mark
#include <sys/socket.h>
int sockatmark(int sockfd);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
sockatmark():
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
sockatmark() returns a value indicating whether or not the socket
referred to by the file descriptor sockfd is at the out-of-band
mark. If the socket is at the mark, then 1 is returned; if the
socket is not at the mark, 0 is returned. This function does not
remove the out-of-band mark.
A successful call to sockatmark() returns 1 if the socket is at
the out-of-band mark, or 0 if it is not. On error, -1 is
returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
EBADF sockfd is not a valid file descriptor.
EINVAL sockfd is not a file descriptor to which sockatmark() can
be applied.
sockatmark() was added to glibc in version 2.2.4.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
If sockatmark() returns 1, then the out-of-band data can be read
using the MSG_OOB flag of recv(2).
Out-of-band data is supported only on some stream socket
protocols.
sockatmark() can safely be called from a handler for the SIGURG
signal.
sockatmark() is implemented using the SIOCATMARK ioctl(2)
operation.
Prior to glibc 2.4, sockatmark() did not work.
The following code can be used after receipt of a SIGURG signal
to read (and discard) all data up to the mark, and then read the
byte of data at the mark:
char buf[BUF_LEN];
char oobdata;
int atmark, s;
for (;;) {
atmark = sockatmark(sockfd);
if (atmark == -1) {
perror("sockatmark");
break;
}
if (atmark)
break;
s = read(sockfd, buf, BUF_LEN);
if (s == -1)
perror("read");
if (s <= 0)
break;
}
if (atmark == 1) {
if (recv(sockfd, &oobdata, 1, MSG_OOB) == -1) {
perror("recv");
...
}
}
