Which asynchronous multiplexer is "recommended" to use, select() or
poll(). From the Solaris man pages, I read the following;
"The poll(2) function is preferred over this function. It must be
used when the number of file descriptors wxceeds FD_SETSIZE"
Linux offers in libevent a "call back" functionality for multiplexing
I/O desccriptors. Are these functions accepted as portable standard c
libraries?
poll(2) is a standard "POSIX" function. Solaris also has "/dev/poll"
(from S2.6 or 7) and event ports (starting in Solaris 10).
Noen of libevent, /dev/poll or event ports are standard.
