cec poll() &manvol; cec-poll Wait for some event on a file descriptor #include <sys/poll.h> int poll struct pollfd *ufds unsigned int nfds int timeout Note: this documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized and is currently only available as a staging kernel module. With the poll() function applications can wait for CEC events. On success poll() returns the number of file descriptors that have been selected (that is, file descriptors for which the revents field of the respective 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 poll() manual page. On success, 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.
