.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pselect
|
|
function was introduced by
|
|
.St -p1003.1g-2000
|
|
as a slightly stronger version of
|
|
.Xr select 2 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa nfds , readfds , writefds ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa exceptfds
|
|
arguments are all identical to the analogous arguments of
|
|
.Fn select .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
argument in
|
|
.Fn pselect
|
|
points to a
|
|
.Vt "const struct timespec"
|
|
rather than the (modifiable)
|
|
.Vt "struct timeval"
|
|
used by
|
|
.Fn select ;
|
|
as in
|
|
.Fn select ,
|
|
a null pointer may be passed to indicate that
|
|
.Fn pselect
|
|
should wait indefinitely.
|
|
Finally,
|
|
.Fa newsigmask
|
|
specifies a signal mask which is set while waiting for input.
|
|
When
|
|
.Fn pselect
|
|
returns, the original signal mask is restored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr select 2
|
|
for a more detailed discussion of the semantics of this interface, and
|
|
for macros used to manipulate the
|
|
.Vt "fd_set"
|
|
data type.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pselect
|
|
function returns the same values and under the same conditions as
|
|
.Fn select .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pselect
|
|
function may fail for any of the reasons documented for
|
|
.Xr select 2
|
|
and (if a signal mask is provided)
|
|
.Xr sigprocmask 2 .
|
|

|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pselect
|
|
function conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pselect
|
|
function first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.0 .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The first implementation of
|
|
.Fn pselect
|
|
function and this manual page were written by
|
|
.An Garrett Wollman Aq Mt wollman@FreeBSD.org .
