nonblocking I/O

[Philippe C . D . Robert]

Hi,

in OPENSTEP and MOSX, there is some 'hidden' functionality to allow nonblocking 
I/O using NSFileHandling. On MOSX there exists i.e. a method 
-availableDataNonBlocking, on OPENSTEP there is some old NEXTSTEP 'derived' 
functionality available, not documented but visible from the header (can't 
check it right now, since I do not have access to OPENSTEP anymore). 

Is there something comparable in GNUstep as well, or what might I use to 
implement for example logging of other tasks' stdout using pipes from a GNUstep 
app? -readInBackgroundAndNotify does not do the job, as it seems.

cheers, Phil
