.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.
