1) Is the Posix stuff for doing IO operations on Fd in the new hierarchy?
Not yet.
If so where?
The current plan is to put it in its own System.Posix (or possibly System.Unix) sub-hierarchy.
If not about when will it be there?
When someone gets around to doing it :-)
(I'm wondering when I should schedule the job of changing over all the imports in our existing source code to the new hierarchy.) 2) Is there any way of finding out whether an Fd you are reading from has characters available?
You can do a non-blocking read of a single character, or a select (not sure if the Select library still works, though). Cheers, Simon
