1 /* fdwatch.h - header file for fdwatch package
2 **
3 ** This package abstracts the use of the select() and/or poll() system
4 ** calls. The basic function of these calls is to watch a set of
5 ** file descriptors for activity. select() originated in the BSD world,
6 ** while poll() came from SysV land, and their interfaces are somewhat
7 ** different. fdwatch lets you write your code to a single interface,
8 ** with the portability differences hidden inside the package.
9 **
10 ** Furthermore, if your system implements both select() and poll(),
11 ** then fdwatch will use whichever call is most advantageous. It may
12 ** actually switch back and forth at runtime, as the workload changes.
13 **
14 ** Usage is fairly simple. Call fdwatch_get_nfiles() to initialize
15 ** the package and find out how many fine descriptors are available.
16 ** Then each time through your main loop, call fdwatch_clear(), then
17 ** fdwatch_add_fd() for each of the descriptors you want to watch,
18 ** then call fdwatch() to actually perform the watch. After it returns
19 ** you can check which descriptors are ready via fdwatch_check_fd().
20 **
21 ** If your descriptor set hasn't changed from the last time through
22 ** the loop, you can skip calling fdwatch_clear() and fdwatch_add_fd()
23 ** to save a little CPU time.
