If there is no method for a count, how about a way to find if a kqueue is empty or not. Besides tracking what events are still within a kqueue, this would make for an easier way to write an event loop. Currently, calling kevent() on an empty kqueue will still block.

I was working with it recently and my understanding is that if you want to retrieve any events and not block if there are none then you should give it zeroed struct timespec. Quote from the man page: "If timeout is a NULL pointer, kevent() waits indefinitely. To effect a poll, the timeout argument should be non-NULL, pointing to a zero-valued timespec structure."
I understand about the timeout. I am looking for different methods to break out of a loop where I want to remain until all events are handled and deleted from the kqueue. Seán -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
