This API is not yet finalized +and is currently only available as a staging kernel module. + +With the :c:func:`poll()` function applications can wait for CEC +events. + +On success :c:func:`poll()` returns the number of file descriptors +that have been selected (that is, file descriptors for which the +``revents`` field of the respective :c:type:`struct pollfd` structure +is non-zero). CEC devices set the ``POLLIN`` and ``POLLRDNORM`` flags in +the ``revents`` field if there are messages in the receive queue. If the +transmit queue has room for new messages, the ``POLLOUT`` and +``POLLWRNORM`` flags are set. If there are events in the event queue, +then the ``POLLPRI`` flag is set. When the function timed out it returns +a value of zero, on failure it returns -1 and the ``errno`` variable is +set appropriately. + +For more details see the :c:func:`poll()` manual page. + + +Return Value +============ + +On success, :c:func:`poll()` returns the number structures which have +non-zero ``revents`` fields, or zero if the call timed out. On error -1 +is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately: + +EBADF + One or more of the ``ufds`` members specify an invalid file + descriptor. + +EFAULT + ``ufds`` references an inaccessible memory area. + +EINTR + The call was interrupted by a signal. + +EINVAL + The ``nfds`` argument is greater than ``OPEN_MAX``. + + +.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +..
