select


Hi,

some conversion problems..

I used select() under WINDOWS and it worked just fine:

Total = select(0, &Reader, &Writer, NLL, NULL);

now, I tried to convert my application into UNIX, and noticed the server get stack under this line.

I though maybe it's because of the first parameter?

should it be numOfActiveSockets +1?

thankx

Read 'man select'...here's an excerpt:
Quote:
int select(int n, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds,
fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout);

n is the highest-numbered descriptor in any of the three
sets, plus 1.

in select under linux, the man says that the first parameter has to be the biggest File Descriptor you wait on + 1
meaning:
if you have 3 file descriptors lets say they have the integer values of 3 4 6.
then you need to set the parameter to 7 which is 6 + 1.

Hi, I am running Debian linux. I don't have select_tut nor any other sockets man pages installed. I don't how this happened. Does anyone know what package they belong to?

Thanks!
