This is fixed in the current docs: #$ grep PQsetnonblocking *.sgml libpq.sgml: <function>PQsetnonblocking</function> had been called. libpq.sgml:address that issue, the function <function>PQsetnonblocking</function> libpq.sgml:Old applications can neglect to use <function>PQsetnonblocking</function> libpq.sgml:<function>PQsetnonblocking</function> to achieve a completely non-blocking libpq.sgml: <function>PQsetnonblocking</function> Sets the nonblocking status of the libpq.sgml:int PQsetnonblocking(PGconn *conn, int arg) libpq.sgml: <function>PQsetnonblocking</function> functionality in the near future. libpq.sgml:<function>PQsetnonblocking</function> have a need for this. libpq.sgml:Non-blocking connections (that have used <function>PQsetnonblocking</function>) > Philip (philip.howell@cit.act.edu.au) reports a bug with a severity of 3 > The lower the number the more severe it is. > > Short Description > Doucumentation bug in libpq > Asynchronous Query Processing > > Long Description > In the online docs: > > http://postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/postgres/libpq-chapter22577.htm > > there is a problem with documentation regarding the function PQsetnonblocking. The documentation defines the function as: > > int PQsetnonblocking(PGconn *conn) > > While in libpq-fe.h (installed from rpm postgresql-devel-7.0.3-2) it is defined as: > > int PQsetnonblocking(PGconn *conn, int arg) > > Which has an extra argument arg. I guessed that this argument was to be TRUE or FALSE, to set or unset blocking, and this seems to work, however there is no mention of the argument in the docs. > > Regards > > Phil > > > Sample Code > > > No file was uploaded with this report > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@postgresql.org > -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
