- Winsock2's select() on fd 0 (stdin) fails 1 answer
Coming from a linux background, I'm used to the concept that everything is a file, i.e. sockets AND stdin.
This makes it easy to write a simple server/client using select(), where I include STDIN in the fdset so it'll allow me to use the terminal for input, especially for debugging.
Moving to windows however, the concept of "everything is a file" does not hold anymore. using select() for stdin (even after defining STDIN_FILENO as 0) simply doesn't work.
What's the best way to port a code using select() (for both stdin and actual sockets) to work on windows?
