Select functionality in boost::asio

Question

I am going to use boost::asio lib for my project. But it\'s not quite obvious which function is corresponding to select() from native socket C lib. Is that avai

Answer 1

The high-level design of Boost.Asio is based on the Proactor desing pattern. Thus, you don't need to poll on select. Instead, submit your completion handler for an asynchronous operation, and when the operation gets completed - the completion handler gets called.
