epoll.close() Close the control file descriptor of the epoll object.

select.epoll(sizehint=-1, flags=0) (Only supported on Linux 2.5.44 and newer.) Return an edge polling object, which can be used as Edge or Level Triggered interface for I/O events. sizehint is deprecated and completely ignored. flags can be set to EPOLL_CLOEXEC, which causes the epoll descriptor to be closed automatically when os.execve() is called. See the Edge and Level Trigger Polling (epoll) Objects section below for the methods supported by epolling objects. epoll objects support the co

select.devpoll.unregister()

devpoll.unregister(fd) Remove a file descriptor being tracked by a polling object. Just like the register() method, fd can be an integer or an object with a fileno() method that returns an integer. Attempting to remove a file descriptor that was never registered is safely ignored.

select.devpoll.register()

devpoll.register(fd[, eventmask]) Register a file descriptor with the polling object. Future calls to the poll() method will then check whether the file descriptor has any pending I/O events. fd can be either an integer, or an object with a fileno() method that returns an integer. File objects implement fileno(), so they can also be used as the argument. eventmask is an optional bitmask describing the type of events you want to check for. The constants are the same that with poll() object. T

select.devpoll.poll()

devpoll.poll([timeout]) Polls the set of registered file descriptors, and returns a possibly-empty list containing (fd, event) 2-tuples for the descriptors that have events or errors to report. fd is the file descriptor, and event is a bitmask with bits set for the reported events for that descriptor — POLLIN for waiting input, POLLOUT to indicate that the descriptor can be written to, and so forth. An empty list indicates that the call timed out and no file descriptors had any events to rep

select.devpoll.modify()

devpoll.modify(fd[, eventmask]) This method does an unregister() followed by a register(). It is (a bit) more efficient that doing the same explicitly.

select.devpoll.fileno()

devpoll.fileno() Return the file descriptor number of the polling object. New in version 3.4.

select.devpoll.closed

devpoll.closed True if the polling object is closed. New in version 3.4.

select.devpoll.close()

devpoll.close() Close the file descriptor of the polling object. New in version 3.4.

select.devpoll()

select.devpoll() (Only supported on Solaris and derivatives.) Returns a /dev/poll polling object; see section /dev/poll Polling Objects below for the methods supported by devpoll objects. devpoll() objects are linked to the number of file descriptors allowed at the time of instantiation. If your program reduces this value, devpoll() will fail. If your program increases this value, devpoll() may return an incomplete list of active file descriptors. The new file descriptor is non-inheritable.
