.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
This function is deprecated. Do note use. We encourage users to instead use
|
||
|
|
the \fIpoll(3)\fP or \fIselect(3)\fP functions to check for socket activity or
|
||
|
|
when specific sockets are ready to get received from or send to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Poll for activity on a socket, channel, listener, or any combination of these
|
||
|
|
three types. The calling semantics for this function generally match
|
||
|
|
\fIpoll(2)\fP however the structure of fds is somewhat more complex in order
|
||
|
|
to accommodate the disparate datatypes, POLLFD constants have been namespaced
|
||
|
|
to avoid platform discrepancies, and revents has additional values defined.
|
||
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
||
|
|
Number of fds with interesting events.
