   Help me! May be somebody who was writing application in TCP stream
socked based IPC know answer on my question. I open the socket by:
  sock = socket ( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 );
after it I bind the opened socket and send and receive messages by
write() and read() functions. My question is : "Is there any way to check
free room into the buffer before write() and size of already arrived
information before read() ?"
   Thanks in advance,
        Leo.
