   Nice!  Where are this kind of tricks supposed to be collected?
   FAQ, http://www.ocaml-tutorial.org/, ...?
Any book / doc on Unix systems programming ?  This use of select is
standard, unix.cma is only a thin layer over libc and/or the syscalls
(at least from a non-language specific POV).  This is why the (Ocaml)
unix library's documentation starts this way:
   Chapter 21  The unix library: Unix system calls

   The unix library makes many Unix system calls and system-related
   library functions available to Objective Caml programs. This
   chapter describes briefly the functions provided.  Refer to
   sections 2 and 3 of the Unix manual for more details on the
   behavior of these functions.
