+    <para>With the <function>poll()</function> function applications
+can wait for CEC events.</para>
+
+    <para>On success <function>poll()</function> returns the number of
+file descriptors that have been selected (that is, file descriptors
+for which the <structfield>revents</structfield> field of the
+respective <structname>pollfd</structname> structure is non-zero).
+CEC devices set the <constant>POLLIN</constant> and
+<constant>POLLRDNORM</constant> flags in the
+<structfield>revents</structfield> field if there are messages in the
+receive queue. If the transmit queue has room for new messages, the
+<constant>POLLOUT</constant> and <constant>POLLWRNORM</constant>
+flags are set. If there are events in the event queue, then the
+<constant>POLLPRI</constant> flag is set.
+When the function timed out it returns a value of zero, on
+failure it returns <returnvalue>-1</returnvalue> and the
+<varname>errno</varname> variable is set appropriately.
