Having done this before it's fairly straightforward to achieve, even if you can't assume libc support for epoll(). At startup, try to use epoll_create() as you need to anyway. If that fails then degrade to using poll() or whatever. > Probably still > #ifdef'ed to only bother checking on linux, but still. This is needed anyway: the relevant structures, syscalls and libc entry points are only availiable on Linux and the syscalls can't be worked around. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
