Well, ssockets is very low level.
fpselect() is mostly useful when you combine multiple file descriptors at once.
Although it can be done, IMHO it makes little sense to create a select() method
on the socket stream,
since it would only have one socket handle.
You can perfectly do a fpselect() with the handles of the streams that ssockets
uses.

Nice.
The socket of Delphi and Synapse implements WaitForData:
function TWinSocketStream.WaitForData(Timeout: Longint): Boolean;
var
FDSet: TFDSet;
TimeVal: TTimeVal;
begin
TimeVal.tv_sec := Timeout div 1000;
TimeVal.tv_usec := (Timeout mod 1000) * 1000;
FD_ZERO(FDSet);
FD_SET(FSocket.SocketHandle, FDSet);
Result := select(0, @FDSet, nil, nil, @TimeVal) > 0;
end;
I do not know where it would be used, it's just an observation hehe...
Yes, but the above is what I mean with 'it does not make much sense'.
I can easily add this - in fact I will do so, but with multiple sockets
it is better to combine the waitfordata()
