Re^2: Detect socket

Thanks, but i was wondering if there any method to check if some number is a socket descriptor, instead of working with range of numbers;

Upd:
Your updated part of post is very good method, thanks, it's very helpful! Would be nice if there are some more methods.

There might be, but I don't know it since it's not something one needs to do. Sounds like an XY problem.	[reply]

huh? My update just checks if `socket` uses the first available file descriptor. It doesn't check if some number is a socket descriptor. It doesn't even check if some number is any kind of valid file descriptor.	[reply] [d/l]

That's like wondering if a certain address contains a file-descriptor. You might be able to make the determination, but why would you want to?	[reply]
