Yup. It's really misleading, but the documentation talks about *sockets* not filehandles. It does that on purpose: the function doesn't apply to other handles than socket handles; not async pipes or files, only sockets. In that respect it's a lot different from unix select(). > That said, sbcl/win32 doesn't have sb-unix, so it may not be possible to > call this function without some custom FFI hacking, but it shouldn't be too > bad. Hope that explains it. Bye, Erik. _______________________________________________ usocket-devel mailing list [email protected] http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usocket-devel
