	d_open3 h_sysfile h_fcntl signal_t hint Oldconfig Setvar startsh
?MAKE:	-pick add $@ %<
?S:o_nonblock:
?S:	This variable bears the symbol value to be used during open() or fcntl()
?S:	to turn on non-blocking I/O for a file descriptor. If you wish to switch
?S:	between blocking and non-blocking, you may try ioctl(FIOSNBIO) instead,
?S:	but that is only supported by some devices.
?S:.
?S:eagain:
?S:	This variable bears the symbolic errno code set by read() when no
?S:	data is present on the file and non-blocking I/O was enabled (otherwise,
?S:	read() blocks naturally).
?S:.
?S:rd_nodata:
?S:	This variable holds the return code from read() when no data is
?S:	present. It should be -1, but some systems return 0 when O_NDELAY is
?S:	used, which is a shame because you cannot make the difference between
?S:	no data and an EOF.. Sigh!
?S:.
?S:d_eofnblk:
?S:	This variable conditionally defines EOF_NONBLOCK if EOF can be seen
?S:	when reading from a non-blocking I/O source.
?S:.
?C:VAL_O_NONBLOCK:
?C:	This symbol is to be used during open() or fcntl(F_SETFL) to turn on
?C:	non-blocking I/O for the file descriptor. Note that there is no way
?C:	back, i.e. you cannot turn it blocking again this way. If you wish to
?C:	alternatively switch between blocking and non-blocking, use the
?C:	ioctl(FIOSNBIO) call instead, but that is not supported by all devices.
?C:.
?C:VAL_EAGAIN:
?C:	This symbol holds the errno error code set by read() when no data was
?C:	present on the non-blocking file descriptor.
?C:.
?C:RD_NODATA:
?C:	This symbol holds the return code from read() when no data is present
?C:	on the non-blocking file descriptor. Be careful! If EOF_NONBLOCK is
?C:	not defined, then you can't distinguish between no data and EOF by
?C:	issuing a read(). You'll have to find another way to tell for sure!
?C:.
?C:EOF_NONBLOCK:
?C:	This symbol, if defined, indicates to the C program that a read() on
?C:	a non-blocking file descriptor will return 0 on EOF, and not the value
?C:	held in RD_NODATA (-1 usually, in that case!).
