this statement using:

m_stat_arr_nclient_sockfd[nindex]= accept(nserversocket,(struct sockaddr *)&client_address, (socklen_t *)&client_len);

this blocking call, how can create non-blocking?

you'll have utilize fcntl set nserversocket non blocking;

int flags = fcntl(nserversocket, f_getfl, 0); fcntl(nserversocket, f_setfl, flags | o_nonblock);

once you've done that, calls accept() on socket should no longer block.
