I'm wondering if there's an easy way to iterate through a fd_set? The reason I want to do this is to not having to loop through all connected sockets, since select() alters these fd_sets to only in...

Similar to the problem asked a while ago on kernel 3.x, but I'm seeing it on 4.9.37.
The named fifo is created with mkfifo -m 0666. On the read side it is opened with
int fd = open(FIFO_NAME, O_...

select() is a great system call. You can pack any number of file descriptors, socket descriptors, pipes, etc. and get notified in a synchronous fashion when input becomes available.
Is there a way...

Let's say I start a thread to receive on a port. The socket call will block on recvfrom.
