The following reply was made to PR kern/13644; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Mikhail Teterin <mi@kot.ne.mediaone.net> To: Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au> Cc: Mikhail Teterin <mi@kot.ne.mediaone.net>, jasone@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG, FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG, lawlopez@cisco.com, jseger@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: kern/13644 Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1999 09:55:47 -0500 (EST) FreeBSD: => => If timeout is a non-nil pointer, it specifies a maximum => => interval to wait for the selection to complete. Solaris: => If timeout is not a NULL pointer, it specifies a maximum => interval to wait for the selection to complete. Linux: => timeout is an upper bound on the amount of time elapsed => before select returns. Irix (http://reality.sgi.com/cgi-bin/getman/?select): If timeout is a non-zero pointer, it specifies a maximum interval to wait for the selection to complete. BSDI (http://www.bsdi.com/bsdi-man?proto=1.1&apropos=0&msection=2&query=select): If timeout is a non-NULL pointer, it specifies a maximum interval to wait for the selection to complete. Perl 5.004 (http://man.cs.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/man?OS=alpha&command=select): TIMEOUT is the maximum amount of time to wait before returning an empty list. It seems, all of the documentation (including the FreeBSD's) agrees. The FreeBSD's implementation disagrees... -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
