Hi FreeBSD Gurus, 
 
I am new to the FreeBSD. I have to port some software from SVR4 to FreeBSD. On 
SVR4 poll() system call is available  but it is not available on FreeBSD. I was 
just wondering is there any equivalent call of poll() on FreeBSD ? select() 
won't 
work as I am not polling on sockets. Another thing is I believe poll() system  
call require STREAMS implementation of the driver/module. Does BSD have streams 
implemetation equivalent to SVR4 (i mean file system and all other kernel 
modules ?). 
I know my question is bit wague but I hope you will understand. 
 
BTW I just subscribe myself for this mailing list and have not got confirmation 
so would appreciate your direct reply at rashah@us.oracle.com. 
 
Thanks in advance.
