Is is possible to use IOCP (or other API) in Reactor-style operations?

iocp

Hello,

Is there any scalable Win32 API (like IOCP not like select) that gives you reactor style operations on sockets? AFAIK IOCP allows you to receive notification on completed operations like data read or written (proactor) but I'm looking for reactor style of operations: I need to get notification when the socket is readable or writable (reactor).

Something similar to epoll, kqueue, /dev/poll ?

Is there such API in Win32? If so where can I find a manual on it?

Clearification: I need select like api for sockets that is as scalable as IOCP, or I'm looking for a way to use IOCP in reactor like operations.
