39 With the :c:func:`poll()` function applications can wait for CEC
42 On success :c:func:`poll()` returns the number of file descriptors
43 that have been selected (that is, file descriptors for which the
44 ``revents`` field of the respective struct :c:type:`pollfd`
45 is non-zero). CEC devices set the ``POLLIN`` and ``POLLRDNORM`` flags in
46 the ``revents`` field if there are messages in the receive queue. If the
47 transmit queue has room for new messages, the ``POLLOUT`` and
48 ``POLLWRNORM`` flags are set. If there are events in the event queue,
49 then the ``POLLPRI`` flag is set. When the function times out it returns
50 a value of zero, on failure it returns -1 and the ``errno`` variable is
53 For more details see the :c:func:`poll()` manual page.
58 On success, :c:func:`poll()` returns the number structures which have
59 non-zero ``revents`` fields, or zero if the call timed out. On error -1
60 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately:
63 One or more of the ``ufds`` members specify an invalid file
67 ``ufds`` references an inaccessible memory area.
70 The call was interrupted by a signal.
73 The ``nfds`` value exceeds the ``RLIMIT_NOFILE`` value. Use
74 ``getrlimit()`` to obtain this value.
