I would like an opinion on the following statement. Is it true and if so why?
"Neither kqueue() nor poll() can handle all types of file-descriptors on MacOSX. The runtime system needs to be able to handle any type of file-descriptor that may appear. We are therefore forced to fall back on select() when a file-descriptor that cannot be handled by kqueue() appears."
Thanks, Joel
