Details

Solaris 8 adds a new interface, /dev/poll,
which is a more scalable alternative to poll().
See the poll(7d) man page (man -s 7d poll) for
information on how to use the /dev/poll API.

I'd like to look into using /dev/poll and
i/o continuation threads to implement our
blocking I/O on Solaris 8.

Is this only for Solaris 8?
Both x86 and SPARC versions?
