4     NAME
5    
6     poll - select(2)-based poll() emulation function for BSD systems.
7    
8     SYNOPSIS
9     #include "poll.h"
10    
11     struct pollfd
12     {
13     int fd;
14     short events;
15     short revents;
16     }
17    
18     int poll (struct pollfd *pArray, unsigned long n_fds, int timeout)
19    
20     DESCRIPTION
21    
22     This file, and the accompanying "poll.c", implement the System V
23     poll(2) system call for BSD systems (which typically do not provide
24     poll()). Poll() provides a method for multiplexing input and output
25     on multiple open file descriptors; in traditional BSD systems, that
26     capability is provided by select(). While the semantics of select()
27     differ from those of poll(), poll() can be readily emulated in terms
28     of select() -- which is how this function is implemented.
