Is there a tutorial on how to use the Boost::asio abstractions to multiple Linux file descriptors?
I’m basically looking for better abstractions to select on multiple file descriptors on a separate thread, with timeouts.

Is there a tutorial on how to use the Boost::asio abstractions to multiple Linux file descriptors?
I’m basically looking for better abstractions to select on multiple file descriptors on a separate thread, with timeouts.
Not a tutorial but a working example:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.asio.user/2699 or
http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/10/143892.php
They basically use boost::asio::posix::stream_descriptor to use native file descriptors with ASIO.
In the boost documentation there is also an example: POSIX-specific chat client demonstrates how to use the posix::stream_descriptor class to perform console input and output
And perhaps you want to use a reactor style io_service.
