what is the value of serverFd?
if it is not less and the value of the first argument to
the select() below, this will not work.
fd_sets are arrays of bit. you set a bit if you want a description
checked (setting bit 7 means check descriptor 7). there are 3
fd_sets: read, write, exception conditions.
the first arg limits the search of the fd_sets and corresponding
descriptors. so a value of 1 means check descriptor 0 only.
descriptor 0 is STDIN, unless you have closed STDIN.
