[Mono-list] handling io to a descriptor in *nix

[Michael J. Ryan]

Is there a standard library, in linux, and/or OSX to handle the following..

Two external methods... 1, send a byte array via a socket descriptor.. 2, 
receive a single byte via a descriptor?  I wrote a small stub in C to handle 
this, but wasn't sure if it would be better to have a compile setting in the 
C# project itself to address to winsock on windows, and ??? on linux...  That 
way another dll/so doesn't need to be compiled in the native platform for this 
tiny piece.

I'm not really very good with the P/Invoke stuff, or even sure how to make 
such a decision, or do it at runtime...  Any help would be appreciated.
