28?S:o_nonblock:
29?S: This variable bears the symbol value to be used during open() or fcntl()
30?S: to turn on non-blocking I/O for a file descriptor. If you wish to switch
31?S: between blocking and non-blocking, you may try ioctl(FIOSNBIO) instead,
32?S: but that is only supported by some devices.
33?S:.
34?S:eagain:
35?S: This variable bears the symbolic errno code set by read() when no
36?S: data is present on the file and non-blocking I/O was enabled (otherwise,
37?S: read() blocks naturally).
38?S:.
39?S:rd_nodata:
40?S: This variable holds the return code from read() when no data is
41?S: present. It should be -1, but some systems return 0 when O_NDELAY is
42?S: used, which is a shame because you cannot make the difference between
43?S: no data and an EOF.. Sigh!
44?S:.
45?S:d_eofnblk:
46?S: This variable conditionally defines EOF_NONBLOCK if EOF can be seen
47?S: when reading from a non-blocking I/O source.
48?S:.
49?C:VAL_O_NONBLOCK:
50?C: This symbol is to be used during open() or fcntl(F_SETFL) to turn on
51?C: non-blocking I/O for the file descriptor. Note that there is no way
52?C: back, i.e. you cannot turn it blocking again this way. If you wish to
53?C: alternatively switch between blocking and non-blocking, use the
54?C: ioctl(FIOSNBIO) call instead, but that is not supported by all devices.
55?C:.
56?C:VAL_EAGAIN:
57?C: This symbol holds the errno error code set by read() when no data was
58?C: present on the non-blocking file descriptor.
59?C:.
60?C:RD_NODATA:
61?C: This symbol holds the return code from read() when no data is present
62?C: on the non-blocking file descriptor. Be careful! If EOF_NONBLOCK is
63?C: not defined, then you can't distinguish between no data and EOF by
64?C: issuing a read(). You'll have to find another way to tell for sure!
65?C:.
66?C:EOF_NONBLOCK:
67?C: This symbol, if defined, indicates to the C program that a read() on
68?C: a non-blocking file descriptor will return 0 on EOF, and not the value
69?C: held in RD_NODATA (-1 usually, in that case!).
