In GNU/Linux, we now have epoll(7). Epoll is an event based I/O
notification based library. scales better normally, but can be a
little tricky if we are not used to event loops/event based
programming. Thanks
And then there are libev[1] and libevent[2] libraries which offers a nice
abstraction over
poll, kqueue, epoll, select etc. for events based programming.
GLIb[3] has a very easy interface to write an event loop too. Feels OOP but in
C if thats your cup of tea ;).
Needless to say, programs written using these libraries are portable across
multiple platforms.
