Why not just allow unlimited buffering, but also provide an API to query how much data is currently buffered (approximate only, so it would be OK to just return the size of data buffered in user space)? Then applications that care and can adapt can do so. But most applications will not need to. The problem of partial writes being incorrectly handled is pernicious and I definitely think partial writes should not be exposed to applications. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
