    The cross-platform way is to use select or poll which are specified by POSIX.

    Alternatively, and more efficiently, you could use a library. The main advantage of a library is that it can do things way more effectively than select, by employing system-specific mechanisms.

    For example, a nice network library would probably use:

    • epoll on Linux
    • kqueue on FreeBSD
    • /dev/poll on solaris
    • pollset on AIX
    • iocp on Win32
    • etc

    I think you can use asio for C++ or libevent for C.
