.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.B Select
|
||
|
|
examines the file descriptors given in the sets
|
||
|
|
.IR readfds ,
|
||
|
|
.IR writefds ,
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.IR errorfds ,
|
||
|
|
up to and including file descriptor
|
||
|
|
.IR nfds -1
|
||
|
|
, for reading, writing, or exceptional conditions, respectively.
|
||
|
|
.B Select
|
||
|
|
currently supports regular files, pipes, named pipes,
|
||
|
|
and tty file descriptors. Inet and pty fd's still to be done.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.I readfds
|
||
|
|
argument is not a null pointer, it points to an object of type fd_set
|
||
|
|
that on input specifies the file descriptors to be checked for being
|
||
|
|
ready to read, and on output indicates which file descriptors are ready
|
||
|
|
to read.
|
||
|
|
.I Writefds
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I errorfds
|
||
|
|
have an analogous meaning for file descriptors to be checked for being
|
||
|
|
ready to read, respectively have pending exceptional (error) conditions.
