[Freeipmi-devel] FreeIPMI question

[Marty Rogers]

All,

I am attempting to adapt FreeIPMI to run on a controller to talk to the 
BMC using IPMB.

My question is about how, or if, freeipmi handles "autonomous" messages 
(such as Event messages I
believe- they can come in any time?)  Does a process ever sleep, waiting 
on a signal of some sort
from the system interface?  Or is there only a 
send-a-message-wait-for-a-reply-then-get-out paradigm ?

(Presumably polling is always an option...)

If there's waiting/sleeping involved, briefly how is it implemented ?

Thx !
