NAME irAddPoll, irRemovePoll, irPoll - add/remove entry from the poll call out table, allow IRAPI to poll SYNOPSIS #include <irapi.h> int irAddPoll (int fd, short events, int (*funcp)(int fd, short revents)); int irRemovePoll (int fd); void irPoll (); DESCRIPTION The function irAddPoll adds file descriptor fd to the IRAPI poll callout table. If fd is already in the poll callout table, the events mask is updated with the new value. IRAPI will poll for events (see poll(2)) on the specified file descriptor upon receipt of SIGPOLL. In most cases, applica- tions will poll for event POLLIN. If revents is non-zero, IRAPI will call funcp passing it the file descriptor fd and the resulting events ( revents). If revents matches POLLHUP, POLLERR or POLLNVAL, fd will be automatically removed from the IRAPI poll call out table before calling funcp. The caller is responsible for setting events on fd, for example, using ioctl(2): ioctl(fd, I_SETSIG, S_RDNORM) The function irRemovePoll removes fd from the IRAPI poll call out table. These functions are to be used for applications attempting to multiplex input from irWait(3IRAPI) and other file descriptors in place of: sigset(SIGPOLL, catch_poll) If applications attempt to catch SIGPOLL, IRAPI functional- ity will be impaired unless they call the function irPoll() from their SIGPOLL handler, thereby allowing IRAPI to handle internal events. EVENTS There are no events resulting from the calls to these func- tions. RETURN VALUE IRR_OK on success. IRR_FAIL on error. ERROR On error irError is set as follows: IRER_SYSERROR on system call failure (see irSysError for more information). IRER_INVALID if fd is invalid or funcp is the NULL pointer. IRER_OVERFLOW if attempting to add more than IRD_MAXPOLL entries to the poll callout table. SEE ALSO irWait(3IRAPI), irWCheck(3IRAPI) VERSION This is version 11/25/02 of this man page.
