+
+    <para>With the <function>select()</function> function applications
+can suspend execution until the driver has captured data or is ready
+to accept data for output.</para>
+
+    <para>When streaming I/O has been negotiated this function waits
+until a buffer has been filled or displayed and can be dequeued with
+the &VIDIOC-DQBUF; ioctl. When buffers are already in the outgoing
+queue of the driver the function returns immediately.</para>
+
+    <para>On success <function>select()</function> returns the total
+number of bits set in the <structname>fd_set</structname>s. 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. When the application did not call
+&VIDIOC-QBUF; or &VIDIOC-STREAMON; yet the
+<function>select()</function> function succeeds, setting the bit of
+the file descriptor in <parameter>readfds</parameter> or
+<parameter>writefds</parameter>, but subsequent &VIDIOC-DQBUF; calls
+will fail.<footnote><para>The Linux kernel implements
+<function>select()</function> like the &func-poll; function, but
+<function>select()</function> cannot return a
+<constant>POLLERR</constant>.</para>
+      </footnote></para>
+
+    <para>When use of the <function>read()</function> function has
+been negotiated and the driver does not capture yet, the
+<function>select()</function> function starts capturing. When that
+fails, <function>select()</function> returns successful and a
+subsequent <function>read()</function> call, which also attempts to
+start capturing, will return an appropriate error code. When the
+driver captures continuously (as opposed to, for example, still
+images) and data is already available the
+<function>select()</function> function returns immediately.</para>
+
+    <para>When use of the <function>write()</function> function has
+been negotiated the <function>select()</function> function just waits
+until the driver is ready for a non-blocking
+<function>write()</function> call.</para>
+
+    <para>All drivers implementing the <function>read()</function> or
+<function>write()</function> function or streaming I/O must also
+support the <function>select()</function> function.</para>

+
+    <para>On success, <function>select()</function> returns the number
+of descriptors contained in the three returned descriptor sets, which
+will be zero if the timeout expired. On error
+<returnvalue>-1</returnvalue> is returned, and the
+<varname>errno</varname> variable is set appropriately; the sets and
+<parameter>timeout</parameter> are undefined. Possible error codes
+are:</para>
