having more than 1024 fds in a FD_SET?

[LuckyIsDog]

How can I accomplish this? FD_SETSIZE is 1024, so that means I cannot have more than 1024 file descriptors in an FD_SET. I am building a server that needs to handle more than that.

I am thinking about an FD_SET vector to accomodate all the connections I will be handling.

What troubles me is, how do I do select() on all of the FD_SETs if it is a blocking function?

For handling many connections, you may wish to read http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html old as it is. Specifically, all I/O multiplexing methods other than select() don't have this limitation, but they have other limits that come up when you reach 10k clients.
