Yup. I prefer libev[1], but there are any number of equivalent libraries for
doing the same thing. Typically C libraries, but adding C++ isn't too hard.

A long way; another user recently spent some time asking the same questions on

messaging, but isn't going to play nice with exposing FDs to you; it owns
those and runs threads in the background to service them for you.
