Well, I've asked several folks around here, read several manpages on the
subject, and still can't find the info that I need, so...
Select() can test for 3 conditions: ready for reads, ready for writes,
and the one that's got me stuck, ``exceptional conditions''. Can someone
define the latter for me? Specifically, I'm wondering if the
closing of a file descriptor during the selection process generates such
a condition.
