Possibly .. if so that's the answer. But the man page doesn't say so:
tained in the descriptor sets, which may be zero if the
timeout expires before anything interesting happens. On
error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately;
I assumed that "error" is something like trying to watch for a
negative number or zero descriptors, or having a fd_set that doesn't
contain open fd's. The reason I assumed that is because EINTR is not
listed as a possible:
ERRORS
EBADF An invalid file descriptor was given in one of the
sets.
EINTR A non blocked signal was caught.
EINVAL n is negative.
ENOMEM select was unable to allocate memory for internal
tables.
But I'm willing to give it a try! Thanks!
Now back to your regularly scheduled programs ...
