This polling business seems like it was written by a madman, and I am unsure how to use it to allow for multiple clients to connect to a server and then send their input to all other clients.
So if I want to have three clients going, I will need something like:
ufds[0].fd = sd; ufds[0].events = POLLIN; ufds[1].fd = sd2; ufds[1].events = POLLOUT; ufds[2].fd = sd2; ufds[2].events = POLLOUT; ufds[3].fd = sd2; ufds[3].events = POLLOUT; ufds[4].fd = sd2; ufds[4].events = POLLOUT;
And then do what exactly so that messeges can be read in and written out?
