Not exactly. There is also EINTR condition, and the socket is still
usable after that; and there are ENOBUFS, ENOMEM, EMSGSIZE for sending,
which are restartable too - when there is memory shortage, all you need
to do is just repeat after some reasonable delay. Furthermore, after
EPIPE the socket is unusable but it is hardly can be considered as
runtime-error.
