in thread Question about POE

Well, I haven't written it yet. I'm just finishing up the design now. As for multiplesing pipes and SysV messages, I'm planning on using select to handle the pipes (with a timeout), and poll the message queue with the non-blocking bit set.

    I'm happy I didn't overlook some multiplex magic with SysV queues, but I'm also sad that one doesn't exist.

    If you're already familiar with select(), there's a tutorial for select() users that might help you decide if POE's worth your while.
