   To really write and read independently you have to fork to split the process,
   and it will look like:

You can also use select() to wait on both the input and output sides
of the connection at the same time.  At least, I *think* it will work
-- if select says an output fd is ready, does that guarantee that you
can output a reasonable amount to it without blocking?
