>Description:
recv(2) has the following description for EAGAIN:
[EAGAIN] The socket is marked non-blocking, and the receive
operation would block, or a receive timeout had been
set, and the timeout expired before data were
received.
Improper use of commas make the sentence difficult to comprehend,
and the word "were" should be "was".
