I would like to read asynchronously from stdin with Qt. I don’t want to use a separate thread or have to setup a timer to periodically check if the file descriptor has data. How can I do this?

If you read the Qt documentation, it says you cannot do this because it is not portable. Why not use a TCP socket that should work assuming you have control over the other end. Worst case you can make a proxy application.
