I have an application where I really need to be able to respond to inputs from a very large number of input channels. I have looked at using the select(2) system call, but it seems to me that this is limited by the maximum size of the type `fd_set' and that it may not be able to handle as many simultaneous connections as I need to handle. Someone suggested to me that I should instead use the poll(2) system call, but I can't find and documentation or include files for that on my FreeBSD 2.2.2 system. Is that system call available in a later version of the FreeBSD kernel? If so, which one?
