bool CAF_NET_EXPORT last_socket_error_is_temporary ( )

Returns: true if last_socket_error() returned either std::errc::operation_would_block or std::errc::resource_unavailable_try_again, false otherwise.

bool CAF_NET_EXPORT probe ( socket x )

Sets the last socket error in case the socket entered an error state.
