How can write a poll or epoll server in Golang?

Time:11-10

In Golang, if we want to write a socket server, we can write like this :

listen, err := net.Listen("tcp", "****")
for {
    conn, err := listen.Accept()
    ...
}

net.Listen() include create socket, bind, listen, and uses epoll in implementation.

in CPP, if we want to write a server, we can chose to use select, poll or epoll freely , so my question is: in Golang, how can I write a server using select or poll instead of `epoll.

CodePudding user response:

If you are familiar with system calls used during connection creation; you will find the syscalls package useful for what you need to do where you can choose to use these system calls as you need. It consists of all the system calls you will need.

I also found this example gist which you can reference for making your own implementation using poll or select.
