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 addi-
tional values defined.
RETURN VALUE
Number of fds with interesting events.
