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 documentation has a specific section for mapping the BSD socket API calls into their respective Asio equivalent

poll(), select(), pselect()

io_service::run(), io_service::run_one(), io_service::poll(), io_service::poll_one()

Note: in conjunction with asynchronous operations.

Note that there are subtle differences between each of these io_service methods, picking the correct one will depend on your application design.
