Re: Client to connect to a chat server

Thank you very much Mihai!
I was thinking that the solution was somenthing like using select but
I wasn't certain.
If I have a program that read from a keyboard, it reads from a file
stdin, and when it reads from a server, it reads from a socket. Both of
them have a file descriptor.
So, I can use select to see in which file there are some activities,
I can control the file descriptor and I can read only from the file who
has some data.

Thank you again.
