Answer / chaitanya

The best way to do this is with the select() call. This tells the kernel to let you know when a socket is available for use. You can have one process do i/o with multiple sockets with this call. If you want to wait for a connect on sockets 4, 6 and 10 you might execute the following code snippet:

fd_set socklist;

FD_ZERO(&socklist); /* Always clear the structure first. */

FD_SET(4, &socklist);

FD_SET(6, &socklist);

FD_SET(10, &socklist);

if (select(11, NULL, &socklist, NULL, NULL) < 0)

perror("select");
