Re^2: fork - alarm

The former is quite simple (alarm around a read),

I would most likely opt for a 4-arg select in that case.

That's what I'm using now for the other case. It would require twice as much code as needed, but it's definitely an option. I'm not fond of using `alarm`, so I might very well end up using `select` as well.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
