[net.unix-wizards] O_NDELAY + cc[5] under S III

HFISCHER@USC-ECLB.ARPA (Herm Fischer) (03/26/85)

I need advice on getting no-wait reading from tty ports to work under
System III (Xenix and PC/IX).  With O_NDELAY, read ALWAYS returns 0
bytes even with good values in cc[4] and cc[5].  Tried several S III's.

O_NDELAY read was broken in UNIX System III as originally distributed.
This was discovered (and fixed) at Geotronics Corp. shortly after I
left and should have been fixed by your UNIX vendor.  I am told that
the fix is simple and obvious but that is all I can recall about it.
