I have a simple server-client model with a TCP stream connection on the
internet domain. Both the server and client read from and write to the other
synchronously.

If the server or the client terminates unexpectedly (terminal interrupt
etc.), how can the other sense this and return to its regular processing
loop (ignoring read/write to the sock) instead of terminating (due to a SIGPIPE
signal).

Please reply by e-mail to muru@iris.brown.edu

Thanks.
