stream_set_blocking
Set blocking/non-blocking mode on a stream
Description
bool stream_set_blocking
( resource $stream
, bool $mode
)
This function works for any stream that supports non-blocking mode
(currently, regular files and socket streams).
Parameters
-
stream
-
The stream.
-
mode
-
If mode is FALSE, the given stream
will be switched to non-blocking mode, and if TRUE, it
will be switched to blocking mode. This affects calls like
fgets and fread
that read from the stream. In non-blocking mode an
fgets call will always return right away
while in blocking mode it will wait for data to become available
on the stream.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Notes
Note:
This function was previously called as
set_socket_blocking and later
socket_set_blocking but this usage is deprecated.
