/* fdwatch.h - header file for fdwatch package ** ** This package abstracts the use of the select()/poll()/kqueue() ** system calls. The basic function of these calls is to watch a set ** of file descriptors for activity. select() originated in the BSD world, ** while poll() came from SysV land, and their interfaces are somewhat ** different. fdwatch lets you write your code to a single interface, ** with the portability differences hidden inside the package. ** ** Usage is fairly simple. Call fdwatch_get_nfiles() to initialize ** the package and find out how many fine descriptors are available. ** Then each time through your main loop, call fdwatch_clear(), then ** fdwatch_add_fd() for each of the descriptors you want to watch, ** then call fdwatch() to actually perform the watch. After it returns ** you can check which descriptors are ready via fdwatch_check_fd(). ** ** If your descriptor set hasn't changed from the last time through ** the loop, you can skip calling fdwatch_clear() and fdwatch_add_fd() ** to save a little CPU time. ** ** ** Copyright © 1999 by Jef Poskanzer . ** All rights reserved. ** ** Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without ** modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions ** are met: ** 1.
