Re: Non-blocking file IO without thread possible ?

[gary ng <garyng2000@...>]

I mean file(actually stdin and stdout as that is the
input/output to connect to things like openssh or
pppd). At the moment I can only think of opening a
localhost:port then use netcat to bridge it. If
luasocket support unix domain socket, that would be a
bit easier(no need for netcat).
