>>107974077why did these retards made polland after that they made select?
>>107974077>like poll, but worseeh. it's only "worse" because the bitmap is fixed size at comptime. poll's interface is shit too and you're better off just going straight to your platform's epoll-like abstraction or some spooky-memory-actions-at-a-distance shit like io_uring, IoUring or IOCP
>>107974077Is there any reason to use this instead of a more modern syscall for events?
