Wrap the select(2) POSIX function.
While tinkering on a project, I frequently found myself having to make FFI calls to select(2). This package provides an interface to that system call.
Changed in version 0.4.0.1:
Minor internal cleanups.
TODO moved to file.
Changes in version 0.4:
Introduce an interface to
fd_set.Add functions with various amounts of abstraction; in particular,
select''matchesselectin previous versions.Retry
select(2)in case of interruption by signals.Remove dependence on the vector package.
WARNINGS:
Behavior with write and exception file descriptors is under-tested. Feedback is welcome.
This package is far from complete, and should be tested throughly before being relied upon.
NOTE: I feel I'm occupying prime namespace realestate with a package name like select. I'll happily let myself be chased away if someone more qualified wants to use this package name. Let me know.
