Ashish,

I saw your following message this morning on the list.  I did not answer
it
because I did not fully understood what you were trying to say.

Thanks for contacting me personally.  I am forwarding you message to the
list and I hope someone who knows more about socket implimentations
would help you.

Could someone please answer his question if Cygwin could handle his
ioctl, fd socket or what was he doing wrong? 

Regards
Suhaib
