Doesn't select() ("help select") work with both? I don't know, because I
never tried.
If you're doing AVE programming, you can simply call getevent() using a
timeout of -1. If, when your process becomes active again, the AVO
returned is NULL, you can check other sources of events (event flags,
variables set by signals, etc.) to find what awaked your program.
