a good idea

The unix model is much more that the app does

        while(1)
        {
                get_event(fd);
                switcH(event)
                {
                                ..
                        ...
                }
        }

The b_end_io callback can possibly be used, or Ben's asynchronosu callbacks,
but that deals with kernel level completion.
