I/O event notification mechanism - select() or epoll() ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have to capture kernel udev events through libudev. One of API
provides asynchronous events by reading on file descriptor. I found
that there two ways to do that.

1) select call
2) epoll

I also found that epoll is smarter and meant to replace old select call.

What are your thoughts on these ? Which one is better ?

Thanks
Rahul B.
