Hi guys, theres something like the select or poll C functions in order to wait for incoming-data from a set of sockets? I searched at the list and in the pharo by example book without any success and i didn't find a method named poll / select ( select in terms of sockets ) in the image.
Maybe i need to spawn a process per socket?
See AioEventHandlerExample and AioEventHandlerTestCase in OSProcess. The primitives are in AioPlugin (http://www.squeaksource.com/AioPlugin/), which connects to the low level select() implementation that Ian Piumarta developed for the unix VMs. I think that this works on Mac and on Cog VMs also if the plugin is provided (but it will not work on Windows). Note that the socket that you use in the image may already be using select() to respond to incoming data. HTH, Dave
