You are right, FreeBSD does not seem to have ppoll() [http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ppoll&apropos=0&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+11-current&arch=default&format=html]. It has just pselect() and that would not work for us due to imposed max FD limit. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
