Maybe not. The select() function is rarely used anymore as it is explicitly designed for supporting single threaded servers. It is also VERY hard to use and thus is probably not used by anyone. I have never used it as I have been using multi-threaded platforms for decades and the multi-threaded sockets architecture is much easier to implement.
So that is what I want to find out. Is anyone using it? I know I may miss some programmers out there but remember that this is not a replacement for the rxsock library, it is an alternative library that uses an object interface. As a result the user's code would need some adjustments to conform to the new interface so eliminating rxsock() probably is not really a big deal.
