The select(3p) API

2006-06-13 Thread Daniel Feiglin
Hello folks! Can someone supply an RTFM describing the kernel implementation of this API (other than reading the source code). In particular, is it interrupt driven (as I always thought) or does it use some sort of polling method? Thanks, Daniel begin:vcard fn:Daniel Feiglin

Hi Shachar, You are correct that not bouncing at all is not good. In fact we do relay bounces except for customers who have no spam protection of their own. Your suggestion to filter bounces is good. - yba On Tue, 13 Jun 2006, Shachar Shemesh wrote: Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 10:12:06 +0300

Thanks. The URL does not really answer my question, but I poked around a bit on kernel-traffic.org. My impression is, that select(3p) uses an internal event queue which means that it is being triggered with a semaphore when a new event arrives. Can anyone confirm or say otherwise? (Or at the
