Hang problem related to signals and process priority

Hi,


Is there a way to quickly check if data is available
for read in a tcp socket without blocking the program?

If there is one, we could use that instead of the overly 
complex signal handling method that sometimes also results
in process hangs, which I reported in my previous mail.

Yes, select and poll could be used to do such a check, but
it looks to me that they are not quick. Or am I wrong in this?
Could someone please help me out here?


thanks a lot,

Ivan
