[Haskell-cafe] ANN: epoll bindings 0.1.1

Hi, I am pleased to announce the release of epoll bindings 0.1.1 available from: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/epoll Epoll is an I/O event notification facility for Linux similar to poll but with good scaling characteristics. Currently the bindings are fairly low level and close to the C API. In the future I hope to add some buffer or stream abstraction on top. Eventually, when GHC can make use of epoll/kqueue etc. in addition to select, this library will not be needed anymore. Until then it might be useful for applications which monitor large numbers of file descriptors. -Toralf
