Event-driven Model in C with Sockets

Question

I am really interested in event-driven programming in C especially with sockets so I am going to dedicate some time doing my researches.

Let\'s assume that I want to bui

Answer 1

"what is the philosophy behind this model"

Event driven means there is no "monitoring", but that the event itself initiates the action.

Usually this is initiated by an interrupt, which is a signal to the system from an external device, or (in the case of a software interrupt) an asynchronous process.

Also http://cs.baylor.edu/~donahoo/practical/CSockets/textcode.html has some examples of Interrupt-Driven Sockets, as well as other socket programming examples.
