block_input

NAME

block_input - block input on a connection

SYNOPSIS

void block_input(int flag)

DESCRIPTION

Block or unblock input from the port or connection associated with the current object, depending on whether the argument is non-zero or zero, respectively.

For port-objects blocking input means no new connections will be accepted, so no connection() calls. With connection-objects this means no receive_message(), process_message(), receive_datagram(), or process_datagram() calls.
