Hello
I have a tcp/ip server which is offcourse multi threaded :-)
Is it safe to have to threads access the same file descriptor at the
same time?
Or should I put a mutex over the file descriptor?
Thanks for your help

Put a mutex over the writing to file descriptor. Depends on how much
and what you are writing, it could makes lines combine with each other
into a bunch of garbled letters.
Thanks,
