- The
- .IR <sys/select.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR time_t
- and
- .BR suseconds_t
- types as described in
- .IR <sys/types.h> .
- .P
- The
- .IR <sys/select.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR sigset_t
- type as described in
- .IR <signal.h> .
- .P
- The
- .IR <sys/select.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR timespec
- structure as described in
- .IR <time.h> .
- .P
- The
- .IR <sys/select.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR fd_set
- type as a structure.
- .P
- The
- .IR <sys/select.h>
- header shall define the following symbolic constant, which shall have
- a value suitable for use in
- .BR #if
- preprocessing directives:
- .IP FD_SETSIZE 12
- Maximum number of file descriptors in an
- .BR fd_set
- structure.

- The following shall be declared as functions, defined as macros, or
- both. If functions are declared, function prototypes shall be
- provided.
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- void FD_CLR(int, fd_set *);
- int FD_ISSET(int, fd_set *);

- .RE
- .P
- If implemented as macros, these may evaluate their arguments more than
- once, so applications should ensure that the arguments they supply are
- never expressions with side-effects.

- The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
- macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
