I remember many years ago learning how to use select() with this guide and then use it to speed up some scanning tool I had found on the internet. It felt incredible that _I_ could do that as someone who had just started programming. Thank you Beej.

A couple of observations regarding select(): its use is not limited to sockets; and, quoting Wikipedia, "with the c10k problem, both select and poll have been superseded by the likes of kqueue, epoll, /dev/poll and I/O completion ports."
