I am curious about this comment (bletch). I am new to unix network
programming and this seemed to be a fairly powerful non-blocking way of
dealing with sockets.
What am I missing?
I dunno. I've been using it for decades and have no complaints. If you
are new
to network programming on UNIX, I would strongly recommend "Unix Network
Programming",
Second Edition by Stevens (both volumes) ISBN #013490012x, and I'd buy
it here:

because it costs $234 at amazon.com (must be a website bug).
