poll.h(0P) POSIX Programmer's Manual poll.h(0P)
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.
poll.h — definitions for the poll() function
#include <poll.h>
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);
The following sections are informative.
