[swift-server-dev] Draft proposal for TLS Service APIs(pleasereview)

Hi Helge and Gelareh,

as far as I understand the source code BlueSocket is blocking IO only. But its API basically breaks the abstraction by giving you (publically!) direct access to the the file descriptor.



	///
	/// The file descriptor representing this socket. (Readonly)
	///
	public internal(set) var socketfd: Int32 = SOCKET_INVALID_DESCRIPTOR

(from: https://github.com/IBM-Swift/BlueSocket/blob/master/Sources/Socket.swift#L772 )

so what you could do is

fcntl(someBlueSocket.socketFD, O_NONBLOCK, 1)

and then put in in a kqueue/epoll/DispatchSource . I personally don't think that counts as non-blocking API but it's possible :)
