The use of select() doesn't affect the semantics of socket communication at all. It just provides a way to wait on multiple sockets (or files) simultaneously, and to subsequently find out which ones are ready to operate on. Since it's the server that typically has many connections, it's the server that calls select(). Nothing special has to be done on the client.
