poll.h(0P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		    poll.h(0P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       poll.h — definitions for the poll() function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <poll.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The <poll.h> header shall define	 the  pollfd  structure,  which	 shall
       include at least the following members:

	   int	  fd	   The following descriptor being polled.
	   short  events   The input event flags (see below).
	   short  revents  The output event flags (see below).

       The <poll.h> header shall define the following type through typedef:

       nfds_t	     An	 unsigned  integer  type  used	for the number of file
		     descriptors.

       The implementation shall support one or more  programming  environments
       in which the width of nfds_t is no greater than the width of type long.
       The names of these programming environments can be obtained  using  the
       confstr() function or the getconf utility.

       The <poll.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants, zero
       or more of which may be OR'ed together to form the  events  or  revents
       members in the pollfd structure:

       POLLIN	     Data  other  than	high-priority data may be read without
		     blocking.

       POLLRDNORM    Normal data may be read without blocking.

       POLLRDBAND    Priority data may be read without blocking.

       POLLPRI	     High priority data may be read without blocking.

       POLLOUT	     Normal data may be written without blocking.

       POLLWRNORM    Equivalent to POLLOUT.

       POLLWRBAND    Priority data may be written.

       POLLERR	     An error has occurred (revents only).

       POLLHUP	     Device has been disconnected (revents only).

       POLLNVAL	     Invalid fd member (revents only).

       The significance and semantics of normal, priority,  and	 high-priority
       data are file and device-specific.

       The  following  shall be declared as a function and may also be defined
       as a macro. A function prototype shall be provided.

	   int	 poll(struct pollfd [], nfds_t, int);
