Hi,
One thing I need to understand, in the callback python or c samples, the fileDescriptor is on a socket or on a pipe ?
Libvirt uses gnulib to guarantee that poll() works on file descriptors; all socket operations are magically mapped by gnulib to behave like file descriptors, so that you don't have to worry about the (less-useful) restrictions of windows poll() only working on sockets.
Okay I have understand the use and mean of poll (pollfd... bla...bla...bla...) I have also discover that there is no Win32 equivalent which work with a file descriptor (unix way...).
There is - it involves using gnulib. But that is only for C and C++ - I have no idea how this translates over to C#. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
