+MSG_NOSIGNAL is a flag
used by send() in
some implementations of the Berkeley sockets [API].
This flag requests that the implementation does not to send a [SIGPIPE] signal on errors on stream oriented sockets when the other end breaks the connection. The [EPIPE] error is still returned as normal.
Though it is in some Berkely sockets APIs (notable Linux) it does not exist in what some refer to as the reference implementation, [FreeBSD] lacks this option.
