[fpc-devel] Linux Signals

[Andrew Brunner]

Thanks, Nikolai.  epoll looks like the silver bullet (for linux) and
very promising.  I can dump a bunch of sockets into it and get the
kernel to let me know which ones get notifications for
reset/read/write.

But the abstraction is already accomplished in the foundational
abstracted network server manager/worker threads unit that all
protocols are implemented by.

Interesting reading :

I can't believe it has been this difficult to tie into *working*
proven methods under Linux.  I wonder if epoll was ever brought into
Darwin...  I did notice Apple making a quiet exit out of the Server
market.

Thanks again!
