epoll,threading

[Arunachalam]

Hello all,

I want to know in detail about , what the events (epoll or /dev/poll or
select ) achieve in contrast to  thread per client.

i can have a thread per client and use send and recv system call directly
right? Why do i go for these event mechanisms?

Please help me to understand this.


Thanks in advance,
Arunachalam
