Yeah. We must have been in the same place because I remember looking through the :socket nif code and scratching my head about some dead ends. However I’m not brave enough to figure out how to do full otp/erlang build to make PRs to core. Maybe I should work on that.

I think he must have misinterpreted my question. It was over the vtc after all.

Do you think your code above should be a library?
