In C, can we read from pipes without busywaiting, may be using callbacks or other ways?

import Control.Proxy
import Control.Concurrent.MVar

fromMVar :: (Proxy p) => MVar (Maybe a) -> () -> Producer p a IO ()
fromMVar mvar () = runIdentityP loop where
    loop = do
        ma <- lift $ takeMVar mvar
        case ma of
            Nothing -> return ()
            Just a  -> do
                respond a
                loop

>>> mvar <- newEmptyMVar :: IO (MVar (Maybe Int))
>>> forkIO $ runProxy $ fromMVar mvar >-> printD
>>> putMVar mvar (Just 1)
1
>>> putMVar mvar (Just 2)
2
>>> putMVar mvar Nothing
>>> putMVar mvar (Just 3)
>>>

while input = ARGF.gets
  # input here represents a line
end

print while gets

myDiv.fadeOut('fast', function() {
    myDiv.removeClass('slide');
});

myDiv.fadeOut('fast').removeClass('slide');
