NAME
sys/select.h - select types
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/select.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <sys/select.h> header shall define the timeval structure that
includes at least the following members:
time_t tv_sec Seconds.
suseconds_t tv_usec Microseconds.
The time_t and suseconds_t types shall be defined as described in
<sys/types.h> .
The sigset_t type shall be defined as described in <signal.h> .
The timespec structure shall be defined as described in <time.h> .
The <sys/select.h> header shall define the fd_set type as a structure.
Each of the following may be declared as a function, or defined as a
macro, or both:
void FD_CLR(int fd, fd_set *fdset)
Clears the bit for the file descriptor fd in the file descriptor
set fdset.
int FD_ISSET(int fd, fd_set *fdset)
Returns a non-zero value if the bit for the file descriptor fd
is set in the file descriptor set by fdset, and 0 otherwise.
void FD_SET(int fd, fd_set *fdset)
Sets the bit for the file descriptor fd in the file descriptor
set fdset.
void FD_ZERO(fd_set *fdset)
Initializes the file descriptor set fdset to have zero bits for
all file descriptors.
If implemented as macros, these may evaluate their arguments more than
once, so applications should ensure that the arguments they supply are
never expressions with side effects.
The following shall be defined as a macro:
FD_SETSIZE
Maximum number of file descriptors in an fd_set structure.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
int pselect(int, fd_set *restrict, fd_set *restrict, fd_set *restrict,
const struct timespec *restrict, const sigset_t *restrict);
int select(int, fd_set *restrict, fd_set *restrict, fd_set *restrict,
struct timeval *restrict);
Inclusion of the <sys/select.h> header may make visible all symbols
from the headers <signal.h>, <sys/time.h>, and <time.h>.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
