How to prevent SIGPIPEs (or handle them properly)

Question

I have a small server program that accepts connections on a TCP or local UNIX socket, reads a simple command and (depending on the command) sends a reply.

The problem

Answer 1

Linux manual said:

EPIPE The local end has been shut down on a connection oriented socket. In this case the process will also receive a SIGPIPE unless MSG_NOSIGNAL is set.

But for Ubuntu 12.04 it isn't right. I wrote a test for that case and I always receive EPIPE withot SIGPIPE. SIGPIPE is genereated if I try to write to the same broken socket second time. So you don't need to ignore SIGPIPE if this signal happens it means logic error in your program.
