I disagree. I would treat the simple examples as just that - very
simple examples of how to call the library.

Different apps will likely want to handle different return codes in
different ways - especially when using nonblocking.

Rather than busywaiting on EAGAIN I think it would be better to set
the socket blocking before that call, and then set it nonblocking
again upon return - for the applications that want to use
nonblocking.
