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 : (1) http://daniel.haxx.se/docs/poll-vs-select.html (2) http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html 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! _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
