.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
io_canread returns the next file descriptor that can be read from.
|
||
|
|
You have to have used io_wantread() on the file descriptor earlier, and
|
||
|
|
you have to have called io_wait() or io_waituntil().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These functions then keep an internal data structure on which
|
||
|
|
descriptors were reported readable by the operating system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please note that there is no guarantee that there still is data that can
|
||
|
|
be read from the descriptor, just that there was data when io_wait() or
|
||
|
|
io_waituntil() were called. Another process could have read the data
|
||
|
|
before you. Look at the result from io_tryread().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there are no more descriptors that you can write to without blocking,
|
||
|
|
io_canwrite will return -1. In this case you should call io_wait() or
|
||
|
|
io_waituntil() again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should use io_tryread(3) to read from the descriptor, not plain
|
||
|
|
read(2). If you use read(2) and you get EAGAIN, call io_eagain(3).
