Nix also contains a FdSet, but its semantics are too strict for mechanical translation: https://docs.rs/nix/latest/nix/sys/select/struct.FdSet.html nix::FdSet has lifetime attached and the methods insert/remove/etc take a BorrowedFd, not a raw integer. This is too strict for the C semantics. Instead, in C, you can modify the fd set in whichever way you want, and only a later call to select will validate if the fd set is in a valid state or not. To fix this limitation I added CFdSet which behaves like the C version of fd set.
