Michael, Is the assumption correct that `select.2` ignores the `O_NONBLOCK` flag in the file descriptors it operates on? Details: I assume that `select.2` (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/select.2.html) completely ignores the fact that some (or all) of the file descriptors (the `select.2` operates on) can be marked as non-blocking (O_NONBLOCK). I mean if + the `select()` is called for a single socket, + and that socket is non-blocking, + and the `select()` time-out is non-zero, then + `select()` will not return immediately (returning (-1) and `errno` equal to `EWOULDBLOCK` or `EAGAIN`) + but will be suspended for the duration of the `select()` time-out. If the assumption is correct then it would save me some time if I saw an explicit note about that in http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/select.2.html.
