The only way such a document would be useful would be if it was rigorously maintained. You show the reason why below when you quote out-of-date parts of the existing documentation. It is certainly worthwhile to sweep through the docs and get everything up-to-date, though. >select(): > see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/highlights.html#OV-HI-SELECT > TODO This points to a page which explains (in an outdated manner) implementation details of select.

This is not true. I think I'll stop here. You're showing that it would be worthwhile to go through the document and look for stuff that is out of date. I guess that would be a job for Corinna, Pierre, and me, since no one else seems to understand these issues. If someone else wants to take a stab at it, however, please feel free. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
