Whether send() returns EINTR or not depends on whether the signal has
been marked restartable or not. This is configurable per signal, see
sigaction(). If the signal is marked to restart, the kernel returns
ERESTARTHAND (IIRC) and the libc will redo the call internally.
Default BSD does not return EINTR normally, but supports sigaction().
Have a nice day,
