select (ULTRIX) select (ULTRIX)
NAME
select - Synchronous I/O multiplexing
DIFFERENCES
On ULTRIX systems, XTI is layered on sockets. If you call select() for
an incoming asynchronous XTI connection, the socket becomes writable.
On Digital UNIX systems, XTI is layered on streams. If you call
select(), the socket becomes readable. You can either modify your
application to work with the Digital UNIX select() call or substitute
the poll() call for the select() call and modify your application to
use this call. See the Network Programmer's Guide for more information
on XTI.
