#18548 closed bug
recv(2) with AF_UNIX blocks upon empty receive buffer; MSG_DONTWAIT ignored — at Version 1

Description (last modified by )
When receiving datagrams via AF_UNIX, a buffer-empty condition prevents "recv" from returning immediately with an error when MSG_DONTWAIT is set.
This prevents code relying on these features from working as expected.
A workaround is to define a receive timeout on the socket, however that may be brittle when receiving an existing socket via file descriptors, for example.
