You can only wait on either events or sockets (using select). There is a socket api to signal an event when data arrives (etc). There is also the insane (these days) restriction of 64 events. > With that in mind would it be good to have some interaction with epoll (and similar calls)? Or hook something up so that pollwakeup can kick a futex as well as waking up poll() and adding an event to epoll().
