+.SH NAME
+poll.h
+\(em definitions for the poll(\|) function
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <poll.h>
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.IR <poll.h>
+header shall define the
+.BR pollfd
+structure, which shall include at least the following members:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+int fd \fRThe following descriptor being polled.\fP
+short events \fRThe input event flags (see below).\fP
+short revents \fRThe output event flags (see below).\fP
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+The
+.IR <poll.h>
+header shall define the following type through
+.BR typedef :
+.IP "\fBnfds_t\fR" 14
+An unsigned integer type used for the number of file descriptors.
+.P
+The implementation shall support one or more programming environments
+in which the width of
+.BR nfds_t
+is no greater than the width of type
+.BR long .
+The names of these programming environments can be obtained using the
+\fIconfstr\fR()
+function or the
+.IR getconf
+utility.
+.P
+The
+.IR <poll.h>
+header shall define the following symbolic constants, zero or more of
+which may be OR'ed together to form the
+.IR events
+or
+.IR revents
+members in the
+.BR pollfd
+structure:
+.IP POLLIN 14
+Data other than high-priority data may be read without blocking.
+.IP POLLRDNORM 14
+Normal data may be read without blocking.
+.IP POLLRDBAND 14
+Priority data may be read without blocking.
+.IP POLLPRI 14
+High priority data may be read without blocking.
+.IP POLLOUT 14
+Normal data may be written without blocking.
+.IP POLLWRNORM 14
+Equivalent to POLLOUT.
+.IP POLLWRBAND 14
+Priority data may be written.
+.IP POLLERR 14
+An error has occurred (\c
+.IR revents
+only).
+.IP POLLHUP 14
+Device has been disconnected (\c
+.IR revents
+only).
+.IP POLLNVAL 14
+Invalid
+.IR fd
+member (\c
+.IR revents
+only).
+.P
+The significance and semantics of normal, priority, and high-priority
+data are file and device-specific.
+.P
+The following shall be declared as a function and may also be defined
+as a macro. A function prototype shall be provided.
