Yes, I read your posting and then went to look more closely at
NSFileHandle. Unfortunately my day job does not involve Macs so I
don't really have the luxury of time to read every bit of documentation
end to end.
That said, as far as I can tell the the NSFileHandle object and it's
notifications do not actually do all of what Robert wanted, since he
needs to "transmit typed content from an NSTextView without the serial
port routines blocking" and the writeDate: message is synchronous and
may still block. To do this we still either need to call select() with
a write flag or catch the appropriate kernel event on that file
descriptor.
I've still not found a generic way to bridge kernel events into the run
loop, only function specific ones like the file handle notifications.
Cheers,
Nicko
