File descriptors for a single process, file table and inode table.

select is a system call and application programming interface (API) in Unix-like and POSIX-compliant operating systems for examining the status of file descriptors of open input/output channels. [1]
Rocrail uses a client-server architecture that communicates via TCP/IP, and the client and server do not need to be on the same computer.Rocrail can be used from a single computer connected directly to the layout, or via any other computer on a home network, or over the Internet.
