And then there are libev[1] and libevent[2] libraries which offers a nice abstraction over poll, kqueue, epoll, select etc. for events based programming. GLIb[3] has a very easy interface to write an event loop too. Feels OOP but in C if thats your cup of tea ;). Needless to say, programs written using these libraries are portable across multiple platforms.
