Sockets select() question
Hello everyone. I have a question regarding select() function. Imagine i had passed a fd_set* as the readfds parameter. Can i add some fd to the fd_set, using FD_SET, while the thread is blocked in the select call(obviously from another thread), and will that select call monitor those fd, even if they where added after the select call?
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,
Is it possible to have a worker thread send data out a TCP connection while another thread is waiting using using select() on that same connection?
If not, then what is the correct way to maintain a connection, react to incoming data, and send data over a TCP connection?
