NAME

libssh2_poll - poll for activity on a socket, channel or listener

SYNOPSIS

#include <libssh2.h>

int
libssh2_poll(LIBSSH2_POLLFD *fds, unsigned int nfds, long timeout);

DESCRIPTION

This function is deprecated. Do note use. We encourage users to
instead use the poll(3) or select(3) functions to check for socket
activity or when specific sockets are ready to get received from or
send to.

Poll for activity on a socket, channel, listener, or any combination
of these three types. The calling semantics for this function
generally match poll(2) however the structure of fds is somewhat more
complex in order to accommodate the disparate datatypes, POLLFD
constants have been namespaced to avoid platform discrepancies, and
revents has additional values defined.

RETURN VALUE

Number of fds with interesting events.
