Check Whether a Socket Is Writable

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.CheckWriteable, which waits for the connected socket to become writable. It returns 1 if writable, 0 if it did not become writable before the timeout, or -1 on error.

Background. A maxWaitMs of 0 performs a nonblocking poll. This is useful for flow control before attempting a large send.
