Geod24 on IRC suggested signalfd + createFileDescriptorEvent. I think this would work, but isn't it possible to wrap the fd returned by signalfd into a Vibe.d stream and read it directly? I'm just not sure how.
Well, vibe.d streams are defined as interfaces, so you'd have to import vibe.core.stream: InputStream, and create a SignalFdInput class that implemented all the required methods. When it requires you to "wait" for data available, you save core.task.Task.getThis() somewhere, and... basically do what you're doing with createFileDescriptorEvent, just resuming the task instead of handling the event in a callback.
I should point out that createFileDescriptorEvent is an assert(0) for libasync.
