57.BR "void poll_dispatch(int " "wait" ");" 58.SH DESCRIPTION 59Many programs need to read from several file descriptors at the same time. 60Typically in these programs one of 61.BR select (3c) 62or 63.BR poll (2) 64is used. --- 47 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 112is changed to reflect the new mask. 113.LP 114A registered file descriptor may be de-registered by calling 115.B poll_unregister 116with the handle returned by 117.BR poll_register . 118.LP 119A timer is created with |
120.BR poll_start_timer 121or 122.BR poll_start_utimer . |
123.I msecs |
124is the number of milliseconds in 125.BR poll_start_timer 126while 127.I usecs 128is the number of microseconds in 129.BR poll_start_utimer , 130after which the timer event will be generated. 131If the functions use the 132.BR poll (2) 133system call, then 134.I usecs 135is rounded to milliseconds and 136.BR poll_start_timer 137is called. |
138.I repeat 139selects one-short behavior (if 0) or a repeatable timer (if not 0). A one-short timer 140will automatically unregistered after expiry. 141.I func 142is the user function which will be called with a timer id and the user supplied 143.IR arg . 144.B poll_start_timer |
145and 146.B poll_start_utimer 147return a timer id, which may be used to cancel the timer with |
148.BR poll_stop_timer . 149A one-short timer should be canceled only if it has not yet fired. 150.LP 151.B poll_dispatch 152must be called to actually dispatch events. 153.I wait 154is a flag, which should be 0, if only a poll should be done. In this case, the function returns, 155after polling the registered file descriptors and timers.
