select on udp recvfrom doesn't work ???

Thanks for taking the time to write this, couple questions:

1) sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); this seems to be a common
mistake. it should be socket(BF_INET....) happens that AF_INET and
BF_INET both = 2

Where does it do the read ? or does it block on the bind ?
