[ProgSoc] Pipe/socket read()/write() locking on linux



Hi all,

Can anyone explain, or direct me to a document that explains how read() and write() access to socket/pipe file descriptors is sychronised on linux?

There must be some kind of mutex involved, right? Are they read/write mutexes?

How do these mutexes compare with in-process ones, such as those provided by pthreads?

Cheers,
Jay.
