Rselect()

check for descriptors that are ready for reading or writing (via a SOCKS server)

Synopsis:

int Rselect( int width, 
             fd_set *readfds, 
             fd_set *writefds,
             fd_set *exceptionfds,
             struct timeval *timeout );

Description:

The Rselect() function is a cover function for select() - the difference is that Rselect() does its job via a SOCKS server.

For more information about SOCKS and its libraries, see Appendix A: SOCKS - A Basic Firewall.

Returns:

The number of ready descriptors in the descriptor sets. If an error occurs, -1 is returned and errno is set.

Note: If the return value is zero (0), the timeout expired.

Classification:

SOCKS
