<para>With the <function>select()</function> function applications
|
|
can suspend execution until the driver has captured data or is ready
|
|
to accept data for output.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When streaming I/O has been negotiated this function waits
|
|
until a buffer has been filled or displayed and can be dequeued with
|
|
the &VIDIOC-DQBUF; ioctl. When buffers are already in the outgoing
|
|
queue of the driver the function returns immediately.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>On success <function>select()</function> returns the total
|
|
number of bits set in the <structname>fd_set</structname>s. When the
|
|
function timed out it returns a value of zero. On failure it returns
|
|
<returnvalue>-1</returnvalue> and the <varname>errno</varname>
|
|
variable is set appropriately. When the application did not call
|
|
&VIDIOC-QBUF; or &VIDIOC-STREAMON; yet the
|
|
<function>select()</function> function succeeds, setting the bit of
|
|
the file descriptor in <parameter>readfds</parameter> or
|
|
<parameter>writefds</parameter>, but subsequent &VIDIOC-DQBUF; calls
|
|
will fail.<footnote><para>The Linux kernel implements
|
|
<function>select()</function> like the &func-poll; function, but
|
|
<function>select()</function> cannot return a
|
|
<constant>POLLERR</constant>.</para>
|
|
</footnote></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When use of the <function>read()</function> function has
|
|
been negotiated and the driver does not capture yet, the
|
|
<function>select()</function> function starts capturing. When that
|
|
fails, <function>select()</function> returns successful and a
|
|
subsequent <function>read()</function> call, which also attempts to
|
|
start capturing, will return an appropriate error code. When the
|
|
driver captures continuously (as opposed to, for example, still
|
|
images) and data is already available the
|
|
<function>select()</function> function returns immediately.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When use of the <function>write()</function> function has
|
|
been negotiated the <function>select()</function> function just waits
|
|
until the driver is ready for a non-blocking
|
|
<function>write()</function> call.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>All drivers implementing the <function>read()</function> or
|
|
<function>write()</function> function or streaming I/O must also
|
|
support the <function>select()</function> function.</para>

|
<para>On success, <function>select()</function> returns the number
|
|
of descriptors contained in the three returned descriptor sets, which
|
|
will be zero if the timeout expired. On error
|
|
<returnvalue>-1</returnvalue> is returned, and the
|
|
<varname>errno</varname> variable is set appropriately; the sets and
|
|
<parameter>timeout</parameter> are undefined. Possible error codes
|

are:</para>
