- Subject: LuaSocket - can I select on descriptors that are not socket objects?

So far, I'm just looking at the API docs. I'm wondering if I will need
to add support for the following, or if I'm not seeing the right way
to use LuaSocket:
- It looks like socket.select() only takes a socket object, but I would
like to select on other file descriptors. Will I need to create a
fd-wrapper object in order to do this?
- It looks like tcp() can only create a new socket descriptor. If my lua
code is called from inetd, fd 0 will be a connected socket. It would
be nice to be able to call socket.tcp() with the descriptor of an
already connected socket.
- Also, I would like to integrate socket.select() with io.popen(), I
guess I will need to add io:fileno() and either a generic fd-wrapper
socket object, or a socket.pipe() that takes a fd, or a socket.popen()
that takes args like io.popen().
Cheers,
Sam
