Is BSD 4.3 select() function included in SVR3 ? I notice that some systems, like Motorola Delta systems, running System V Release 3 includes this function, but our Altos system, also running SVR3 doesn't ! -- Arne /* Arne Asplem, Consultix, P.O.BOX 1367, N-1401 SKI, NORWAY * Phone: +47-9-876844 Fax: +47-9-876766 Pager: 096-43139 * E-mail: aras@dr.uucp or ..!mcsun!nuug!dr!aras */

"select()" is not a standard part of every S5R3 release from AT&T. Some
vendors have added it, some have not.carroll@m.cs.uiuc.edu (03/25/90)

Is BSD 4.3 select() function included in SVR3 ?
I notice that some systems, like Motorola Delta systems, running
System V Release 3 includes this function, but our Altos system, also
running SVR3 doesn't !

select() is not part of SysVR3. Some particular implementations have it. As
mentioned in another response, 386/ix 2.0.2 has it in the TCP/IP package.
SysVR3 does however have poll(), which performs roughly the same function
on streams. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on pipes, which is more than a bit
of a bummer.

select() is a BSD function. SYSV R3 doesn't include it stock, but some venders include it. SCO does as well as Motorola. -- ==================================================== Jay A. Snyder jsnyder@lehi3b15.csee.lehigh.edu CSEE Dept. lehi3b15!jsnyder Lehigh University
