hello good day.
i have a question about the select()
function.

when should we set timeout parameter
into NULL? what is the difference of
putting timeout (0, 0) OR putting NULL
as parameter?

--
while(1) {
   tv.sec = 0;
   tv.usec = 0;
   sel = select(fd+1, &rdfd, NULL, NULL, &tv);
}
--
--
while(1) {
   sel = select(fd+1, &rdfd, NULL, NULL, NULL);
}
--

thanks a lot.
