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 times 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`` value exceeds the ``RLIMIT_NOFILE`` value. Use + ``getrlimit()`` to obtain this value. |
