[Pharo-users] Using a Unix filedescriptor in a FileStream?

[Holger Freyther]

Hi,

I explored to use the Linux inotify API using UFFI. The 
inotify_init/inotify_init1 routine will me a Unix filedescriptor and I would 
like to

        a.) monitor it for being readable
        b.) read from it with a stream


For a.) I have found the AioEventHandler and think I will be able to call 
>>#descriptor: directly and then can use it (still figuring out the API, 
probably just wait for the >>#changed: call).

For b.) I thought I could use AttachableFileStream but that required a "fileId" 
but not a filedescriptor. Is there a way I can read from my fd using the 
standard stream API (otherwise I can try to use UFFI for read)


regards
