Subject: select (or polling) on in_channel?
Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2005 18:28:55 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050331.182855.07449233.eijiro_sumii@anet.ne.jp> (raw)

Hi again...

Is there any easy way to _correctly_ do a "select" (as in the UNIX
system call) on Pervasives.in_channel?  My naive approach

  Unix.select [Unix.descr_of_in_channel ic] [] [] 0.

seems to fail (and it indeed does fail) because of the buffering
inside Pervasives.in_channel, as long as I checked the source code of
ocaml-3.08.3.  Pervasives.in_channel_length doesn't help in my case
since the input channel is not a file.  Should I use only the
low-level functions in the Unix module if I _ever_ want "select"?

Thanks,
