Question regarding event queue and select() ...

Hello, all ...

While this question deals with DSS4, i'm posting it to darwin-dev 'cuz it has to do mostly with the lower level sockets stuff i.e. select(), recv() and the event queue. If this is the wrong place to post, kindly illuminate me -- I don't want to waste anyone's bandwidth.

Anyway, is the OSX event queue part of Darwin i.e. watchevent(), waitevent(), modwatch()? The last time I played with DSS, it was v2 on Linux, so select() was used. Now i'm trying to get familiar with DSS4 on Darwin / OSX, so now I get to get all funky and jiggy with the event queue. What do these APIs give me over select()? Do they scale better with regards to CPU usage or something?

Regards,

John
