Since you probably compile and run the code
in unix (as stock diku mud code is for unix
I think), use unix man command to
read the manuals on functions you don't know.
I run man on FD_SET on my solaris and found that
they are the function of standard C library.
Their definitions are found in .
All FD_ functions are used to work with file
descriptors. Read manual for further explanation.
