NAME
io_wantread - signal that you want to read from a descriptorSYNTAX
#include <libowfat/io.h>void io_wantread(int64 fd);
DESCRIPTION
io_wantread tells the next io_wait() that you want to read from this descriptor. Call io_dontwantread() again if you change your mind.The next time you call io_wait(), it will look whether this descriptor becomes readable, too. You can then use io_canread() to check whether the descriptor has become readable.
You have to have called io_fd on the descriptor first (io_pipe and io_socketpair do this for you). Waiting on descriptors only works for sockets, fifos and pipes. It may also work on devices and TTYs, but that is platform dependent -- you should not rely on that.
