There's no need for non-blocking for that.
If you _know_ the sockets should be silent (ie there's no TCP traffic on them)
you can select() to see if they've become readable, and if they are in spite
of you knowing they shouldn't be, reading 0 bytes from them indicates they're
disconnected.
Of course, TCP connections can just go "stalled" as well without being
possible to detect this easily.
