I posted a sample earlier, but the common ground is: register a
function, file descriptor, and pointer; the function is called with
the file descriptor and pointer as arguments whenever the file can be
read or written, or is closed.  Both the GUI and the HID may need
small wrapper functions to convert from the hid's api to whatever api
they're using (they already do this for timers).

I'd say ignore the condition.  Just do read/write/close, that's all
that really happens on normal sockets.  The hid can call a polling
select() to figure out what states are ready on the file.
