Re: Sharing the socket between 2 threads

Hello,

I want to create asynchronous IMAP client.
My plan is to use 2 threads: main for writing and slave for background
reading. Is it possible ?
If so, how to share the socket between 2 threads ?
I can use transfer or detach / attach commands but I will lose control
at the socket in the main thread.

In Tcl you do not need threads for want you want to do -- read up on the event loop.

BTW, David Gravereaux answered the question you asked, as opposed to the one you should have asked (which I answered).
