[jcifs] Quick jCIFS doco question.

From the jCIFS javadoc:
jcifs.smb.client.tcpNoDelay
If this property is true , the socket that jCIFS uses will wait for a
fraction of a second to collect several messages for more efficient
transmission in one packet. This sets the setTcpNoDelay for the NetBIOS
socket to true. By default Java sockets and the jCIFS client do not delay;
the default value is false.
That seems backward. If TCP_NODELAY is set (true) then there should be, er,
"no delay". From the Linux TCP(7) man page:
:
SOCKET OPTIONS
:
TCP_NODELAY
Turn the Nagle algorithm off. This means that pack
ets are always sent as soon as possible and no
unnecessary delays are introduced, at the cost of
more packets in the network. Expects an integer
boolean flag.
I'd like to spend some time copyediting the javadoc. Could that get me into
trouble? ;) ;) ;)
