@hackage select0.4.0.1

While tinkering on a project, I frequently found myself having to make FFI calls to select(2). This package provides an interface to that system call.

Changed in version 0.4.0.1:

• Minor internal cleanups.

• TODO moved to file.

Changes in version 0.4:

• Introduce an interface to fd_set.

• Add functions with various amounts of abstraction; in particular, select'' matches select in previous versions.

• Retry select(2) in case of interruption by signals.

• Remove dependence on the vector package.

WARNINGS:

• Behavior with write and exception file descriptors is under-tested. Feedback is welcome.

• This package is far from complete, and should be tested throughly before being relied upon.

NOTE: I feel I'm occupying prime namespace realestate with a package name like select. I'll happily let myself be chased away if someone more qualified wants to use this package name. Let me know.
