How to include <sys/select.h> library in a Visual Studio C++ project?

Question

I am a beginner with Visual Studio and now I want to run a C++ program on it, but when I compile the program there is an error that <sys/select.h> is not defined.

So, how can I define it or include it in the project?

Answer 1

sys/select.h is a POSIX header that supports select(); the equivalent on Win32 only works on sockets, so you are unlikely to get the code working on Windows unless you are already skilled at porting.
