You can do something like

  - (NSData *) dataAvailableOnSocket // yes, stupid method name :-)
  {
    unsigned bytes;

    if( -1 == ioctl(yourSocket, FIONREAD, (char *) &bytes) )
    {
      // handle ioctl error here
      // eg. raise NSFileHandleOperationException
    }

    if( 0 == bytes ) return nil; // no data available

    return [yourFilehandle readDataOfLength: bytes];
  }

to check whether there is any data on the socket and immediately use it.
