sys_select.h(0P)	   POSIX Programmer's Manual	      sys_select.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
       sys/select.h — select types

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/select.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The <sys/select.h> header shall define  the  timeval  structure,	 which
       shall include at least the following members:

	   time_t	  tv_sec      Seconds.
	   suseconds_t	  tv_usec     Microseconds.

       The <sys/select.h> header shall define the time_t and suseconds_t types
       as described in <sys/types.h>.

       The <sys/select.h> header shall define the sigset_t type	 as  described
       in <signal.h>.

       The  <sys/select.h>  header  shall  define  the	timespec  structure as
       described in <time.h>.

       The <sys/select.h> header shall define the fd_set type as a structure.

       The <sys/select.h> header shall define the following symbolic constant,
       which  shall  have a value suitable for use in #if preprocessing direc‐
       tives:

       FD_SETSIZE  Maximum number of file descriptors in an fd_set structure.

       The following shall be declared as functions,  defined  as  macros,  or
       both. If functions are declared, function prototypes shall be provided.

	   void FD_CLR(int, fd_set *);
	   int	FD_ISSET(int, fd_set *);
	   void FD_SET(int, fd_set *);
	   void FD_ZERO(fd_set *);

       If  implemented as macros, these may evaluate their arguments more than
       once, so applications should ensure that the arguments they supply  are
       never expressions with side-effects.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

	   int	pselect(int, fd_set *restrict, fd_set *restrict, fd_set *restrict,
		    const struct timespec *restrict, const sigset_t *restrict);
	   int	select(int, fd_set *restrict, fd_set *restrict, fd_set *restrict,
		    struct timeval *restrict);

       Inclusion of the <sys/select.h> header may  make	 visible  all  symbols
       from the headers <signal.h> and <time.h>.

       The following sections are informative.

APPLICATION USAGE
       None.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
