There wouldn't be much point, since it was written for a specific problem and doesn't handle some general cases that could come up. Search the -hackers archive for "poll() and scalability", around July, for the archived discussions, and my original interface. > I (and others I know) would be very interested to know what you have come > across and what these other ideas are. I'll present a possible interface (and implementation) when I'm satisfied it'll work well for most consumers. This isn't going to be for a month or so, I have PhD qualifying exams and some other things to clear off my plate first. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
