Re: polling for incoming stdout and stderr

[Aris Adamantiadis <aris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

The best I could advise you to use is the channel callback API. You
can't ask it to ignore events on stdout/stderr, but you can choose to
ignore them in your callback.
An exemple of use of that callback api for flow controle can be found in
this development code here:
