[] "Suppose you set all your fd's of interest to be asynchronous and you handle the SIGIO instead of doing select? Then it's signal vs. signals instead of signals vs. select. A blocking select would translate into a sigpause()." From the fcntl(2) man page (4.2BSD vintage): "The asynchronous I/O facilities of FNDELAY and FASYNC are currently available only for tty operations." -=- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!tekecs!andrew) [UUCP] (andrew%tekecs.tek.com@relay.cs.net) [ARPA]
