|
|
|
.BR poll ()
|
2006-03-16 00:06:34 +00:00
|
|
|
performs a similar task to
|
|
|
|
.BR select (2):
|
|
|
|
it waits for one of a set of file descriptors to become ready
|
|
|
|
to perform I/O.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The set of file descriptors to be monitored is specified in the
|
|
|
|
.I fds
|
2009-09-15 04:05:42 +00:00
|
|
|
argument, which is an array of structures of the following form:
|
2007-12-19 06:57:44 +00:00

The caller should specify the number of items in the

|
|
|
The field
|
|
|
|
.I fd
|
|
|
|
contains a file descriptor for an open file.
|
2012-04-15 11:45:42 +00:00
|
|
|
If this field is negative, then the corresponding
|
|
|
|
.I events
|
|
|
|
field is ignored and the
|
|
|
|
.I revents
|
|
|
|
field returns zero.
|
|
|
|
(This provides an easy way of ignoring a
|
|
|
|
file descriptor for a single
|
|
|
|
.BR poll ()
|
|
|
|
call: simply negate the
|
|
|
|
.I fd
|
|
|
|
field.)

The field
|
|
|
|
.I events
|
2007-07-01 04:23:34 +00:00
|
|
|
is an input parameter, a bit mask specifying the events the application
|
2012-04-15 12:03:04 +00:00
|
|
|
is interested in for the file descriptor
|
|
|
|
.IR fd .
|
|
|
|
If this field is specified as zero,
|
|
|
|
then all events are ignored for
|
|
|
|
.IR fd
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.I revents
|
|
|
|
returns zero.

|
|
|
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
The field
|
|
|
|
.I revents
|
|
|
|
is an output parameter, filled by the kernel with the events that
|
2006-03-16 00:06:34 +00:00
|
|
|
actually occurred.
|
|
|
|
The bits returned in
|
|
|
|
.I revents
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
can include any of those specified in
|
2006-03-16 00:06:34 +00:00
|
|
|
.IR events ,
|
|
|
|
or one of the values
|
|
|
|
.BR POLLERR ,
|
|
|
|
.BR POLLHUP ,
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.BR POLLNVAL .
|
|
|
|
(These three bits are meaningless in the
|
|
|
|
.I events
|
|
|
|
field, and will be set in the
|
|
|
|
.I revents
|
|
|
|
field whenever the corresponding condition is true.)

|
|
|
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
If none of the events requested (and no error) has occurred for any
|
2006-03-16 00:06:34 +00:00
|
|
|
of the file descriptors, then
|
|
|
|
.BR poll ()
|
|
|
|
blocks until one of the events occurs.

|
|
|
.I timeout

2012-05-01 19:57:08 +00:00

argument specifies the minimum number of milliseconds that

|
|
|
.BR poll ()

|
(This interval will be rounded up to the system clock granularity,
|
|
|

and kernel scheduling delays mean that the blocking interval
|
|
|
|
may overrun by a small amount.)

Capitalization in .SS sections across pages (and sometimes even
within a single page) is wildly inconsistent. Make it consistent.
Capitalize first word in heading, but otherwise use lower case,
except where English usage (e.g., proper nouns) or programming
language requirements (e.g., identifier names) dictate otherwise.

argument.
|
2007-06-08 09:56:56 +00:00
|
|
|
However, the glibc wrapper function hides this behavior
|
2007-05-18 10:39:45 +00:00
|
|
|
by using a local variable for the timeout argument that
|
|
|
|
is passed to the system call.
|
|
|
|
Thus, the glibc
