In anything new you should use poll not select.
They're basically identical apis but poll doesn't have a hard limit and works with high number fds.

Doesn't seem super relevant when the program will only have 5 FDs. Safe signal handling in poll does seem handy though.
Your program can be executed with fds 0-1023 already open.
