Davidsen Jr) Newsgroups: comp.unix.wizards Subject: Async read and writes Message-ID: <8220@steinmetz.steinmetz.UUCP> Date: 15 Dec 87 16:46:24 GMT Organization: GE Corp. R & D, Schenectady,NY Lines: 11 Keywords: async, io I have an interesting control problem; I want to issue two reads and a write, and then wait until all io is done, or any one io is done. I have managed to do this with several processes, signals, etc, but it is ugly. If someone has an idea, please share it. This *must* work on V.2, would be nice to have it work on V.0 and 4.2BSD as well. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
