But this is not portable. The application is not allowed to assume
anything about the structure of an fd_set, or the existence of a type
`fd_mask', or the existence of a macro `h
As from OpenBSD (in shorter form):
fd_set *fds = calloc(howmany(fd+1, NFDBITS), sizeof(fd_mask));
FD_SET(fd, fds);
select(fd+1, fds...);
As for being "portable", the only thing I've seen that is nice and neat is

Is there a portable way to allocate dynamically sized fd_sets? It
could easily be one of those things that you're not suppose
Agreed, or people could code with select in a nice manner and dynamically
allocate the fd_set arrays.

On the other hand, it would also make libfetch useful in a larger
variety of applications; viz., those which have so many file
descriptors open that the one used by libfetch will overflow the
default fd_set.

Why? It reduces neither the size nor the complexity of the code, and
does not result in any notable performance improvements.
