# Don't really get the mechanics behind these. Just copy and apply for now.

There's nothing complicated there. It simple detaches a thread that does nothing but read lines (blocking) from STDIN, and when it gets one, echoes it to the write end of a socket pair. The read end of that socket pair is set non-blocking, so now it can be used in select loops in the normal way.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
