Epoll interesting links
Now that I am working with Go, I was going deeper in Go network APIs and found that Go implements epoll in its library - or, I don't need to do syscalls myself.
Searching for some information, I ended up finding two very interesting articles about epoll internals that clarify some interesting points and I'd like to share (and keep to myself)
Some important context:
- There are two other ways to check for events
- select (very commonly used with sockets)
- poll
- epoll is a faster alternative, specially if you have lots of file descriptors to read from
Shut up and show me the links!
