: I think I have the same problem like the OP. I would like to shutdown(2) the connection, to unblock a worker thread, that's currently nlRead()ing. To close the socket is not a solution, because it introduces race conditions (see below). I think, optimal would be to provide a function nlTerminate(soket) that calls shutdown(2) on the socket handle; then, all blocking functions would unblock. Or is there a better solution that I've overlooked?

I am fixing nlClose() to elimnate the deadlock.
