Hello!

I need some advice. Currently I'm using unix dgram socket to exchange
messages between processes, each process handles also TCP connections.
So "select" works good in this scenario. Does it make sense to replace
unix socket with message queue for messages between processes? I've
heard somewhere that it is more efficient than unix socket, but then I
can't do select on the message queue, can I? Or what is general approach
in working with message queue (posix?) when select has to be done as
well?

TIA

Andrei
