AFAIK, Posix API (implemented by Linux) do not have any routine to handle/sync multiple objects at the same. Thus you might need to build something similar yourself. The closest API in linux system is select() function, that can check the status of multiple file-descriptors in one call. Some of file-descriptor objects could be used for synchronization purposes. thanks, Dmitry
