I can certainly live with that.

Josh, looks like you've got marching orders :-)

Of course there'll be some kind of fallout, there always is.



And the reason I emphasize the "entirely" is literally that the kernel
headers don't even define the full __FD_SET/CLR/ISSET() functionality.
I know. When this first came to my attention I feared I'd find another implementation of FD_{SET,CLR}/ISSET.
