NAME

POSIX::pselect - Perl interface to pselect(2)

VERSION

This document describes POSIX::pselect version 0.03.

SYNOPSIS

use POSIX::pselect;

pselect($rfdset, $wfdset, $efdset, $timeout, $sigset);

DESCRIPTION

This is an interface to pselect(2).

Note that we've made sure pselect(2) works atomically only in Linux. Other operating systems like MacOSX don't support atomic pselect(2), providing pselect(3) as a non-atomic implementation instead.

INTERFACE

Functions

pselect($rfdset, $wfdset, $efdset, $timeout, $sigmask)

Calls pselect(2).

The arguments are the same as Perl's select() except for $sigmask.

$sigmask must be a POSIX::SigSet object or an ARRAY reference consisting of signal names (e.g. [qw(INT HUP)]), or signal numbers.

DEPENDENCIES

Perl 5.8.1 or later.

BUGS
