How do you "send input request to the fd"?  A program cannot both read
and write to the same fd within the same process, at least not
portably.

If another thread writes to some fd, it means the main thread is not
running, so it cannot receive the event, even if we did find the way
of having an fd which can be read by one thread and written by all the
others.
